Papertrey Ink - January Blog Hop


Good morning!

It's Blog Hop time at Papertrey Ink and this time there's a gorgeous inspiration photo featuring one of my favourite colour combos - orange and teal.

I combined a couple of challenges with the hop. I cased myself with this card as part of Casology's latest challenge where the cue word is clear:





Since the acetate was already out, I used it to make a card base, cut a window out of cardstock and added a Copic coloured umbrella from PTI's Scattered Showers.  








The second card is based on the latest Freshly Made Sketch using some Doodlie Do blooms. I took the colours from the PTI inspiration photo, including the black in the background.

Hope you get time to join in with some crafty hopping today! Thanks for calling by,

Claire x
