I had to share this card first as it's one of my favorites that I created this month with a set other than Butterfly Dreams (which is available now *wink*). I paired the beautiful flower from Year of Flowers: Violet with Background Basics: Tin Types. I love that background with the large flower.
I cut my card base from plum pudding cardstock and stamped my tin type pattern on vintage cream cardstock with spring moss ink. Then, I rounded the corners and sponged the edges of the vintage cream cardstock with the tea dye duo and dark chocolate ink before stitching around the edges. I added my spring moss cardstock, lace, and ribbon to the top and stamped my sentiment. Last I added my violet (with foam adhesive) that I had stamped on white cardstock, colored with copic markers, and cut out.
Kelly Purkley, this month's guest designer at Papertrey Ink, posted some of her creations on her blog. You have to see the layout she did with Butterfly Dreams if you haven't seen it yet. I love it! Thanks for an amazing first countdown! If you happen to pick up Butterfly Dreams, be sure to leave me a comment when you post something. I can't wait to see what people start creating with the set!
Have a wonderful week!
Niki

Ooooooh, this card is gorgeous! I love the green and plum mix, with the trim! I just managed to get your beautiful new Butterfly Dreams and the die!! Happy Dance here!
Oh Niki - this is so lovely!! Also Kelly did such a fun layout with your Butterfly Dreams. Congrats on a terrific contribution to Papertrey!!!
Another beautiful card! Tried to buy your Butterfly Dreams stamps and die and I got a message to contact PTI re the availability of the die ... I guess they must already be sold out and it's only 5 a.m. EST? Wow! They either sold a ton or didn't order very many? Drats! I was so looking forward to buying both--today. I emailed them so hopefully I'll hear back soon. By the way, Kelly's s.b. page layout is wonderful. You did a tremendous job designing it! I won't give up til I get it. :)
Niki, this is beautiful!! Love the pretty flower and your layout is so soft! Gorgeous girl!
Love the new stamps! I would order it if I could get the die, but I guess I'll have to wait to see if they get more in :(
