Picking “a” favourite project from 2011 is such a difficult thing to do. Na…. I could not do it. I pick a bunch and finally narrowed it to two. Here is my first favourite card from 2011
I made this card for MIM and love to create my own background using stamps. Recreated another card using this card as an inspiration. I created a background using PTI’s Rosie Posie stamp set. Here is the card for you
I wanted a modern looking background and Rosie Posie stamps are perfect for do that. I also choose lighter colours and kept the sentiment simple on a banner diecut.
Supplies:
Cardstock: SU’s Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight and White
Stamp sets: Rosie Posie and Butterfly Dreams from PTI
Inks: Amuse’s Bubblegum,Pappaya, Grass and Ocean ink and SU’s Basic Grey ink
Accessories: Spellbinder’s banner die, cuttlebug.
Second card which is my favourite is this one
I love Modern Basic Stamp set and the striped background I had created. Wanted a modern take on this one too and so changed the colours but kept the layout.
I love grey and any colour together especially orange.Bright and modern and perfect with that sentiment.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Canyon Clay from PTI and white from SU
Stamp sets: Modern Basic and Think Big Favourite from PTI
Ink: Tangerine Tango and Basic Grey from SU and Stazon Black Ink
Thanks so much for visiting! Happy Hopping 🙂

Gayatri these are all wonderful! Such bright happy colors on your floral cards and I love the second version of your Modern Basics background.

I need to make my own BGs more often & your AWESOMELY GORGEOUS cards are a great reminder of how beautiful the results can be — great job on each of these beauties!!!
Beautiful work. I am in love with the stamp “Take a moment to Remember how special you are & How lucky the world is to have you in it.” I have searched and searched the Paper Trey Ink website and have not been able to find it. Can you tell me what stamp set that is from? Thank you so much
