I chose the project by Danielle Flanders as my inspiration as I love her style! Always fun little surprises here and there...a touch of lace or felt, a die cut, and always beautiful patterned papers. She seems to have a way of creating freely and places elements in unique ways. Her cards never look the same, as she always uses a variety of products and interesting layouts. Her blog "Homespun with Heart" is perfectly named!
She made sweet invitations with glassine bags, some butterfly die cuts, and PTI's Blooming Button Bits set. Here is my take:
I used patterned papers from Jilly Bean Soup's Homemade Six Bean Soup Collection, and cut a window using the Mat Stack 1 die. Stamped the stems from Blooming Button Bits and added a Buttoned Up #2 die cut in gingham, a rolled rose in Pure Poppy felt, and a Lemon Tart button. The butterfly is from the Love Lives Here die collection. It is stamped with the coordinating image, edged with a bit of glitter, and backed with Pure Poppy felt so the little heart shows through. Added some lace and a big loopy twine bow, as I see lots of those on her projects! Topped it off with my favorite PTI sentiment of all time, "Wishing you Sunshine" from Blooming Button Bits!
Thanks to Danielle and ALL of the PTI designers who share so much heart with all of us each week. It's going to be an exciting 2 weeks, can't wait to see what's coming next!

ReplyDeleteThis is a great entry for PTI's super great give away Kelly. I love those soft yellows, the butterflies and the diecut window using the Mat Stack 1. I love Danielle's stuff too, she always has such surprising little elements to all of her projects.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Kelly!!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on Danielle's glassine project. Your colors and flowers are so sweet :) I chose that one too. It's funny to see how the same inspiration piece can turn out so differently from two different people.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty spring card! I love the yellow and the pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that I've totally fallen in love with Danielle's style as well. I've been loving your stuff lately, so I guess I should start calling myself preppy gingham boy, because I'm falling love with your style as well!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet is that? Loving the lace trim! And what a great idea to turn the die on it's side. I'm definitely filing that idea;)
ReplyDeleteThis is simply gorgeous, Kelly! So sweet and spring like. Love it lots Kx
