Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop challenge

Hello everyon! Before my day starts to get really crazy, I just wanted to stop in with a card for this month's Papertrey Ink blog hop challenge.


I love navy and pink together, so this challenge was super fun for me...


I was inspired by a card I saw a couple weeks back - I can't remember where right now, but if I do, I'll link to it.
UPDATE: I found the card - HERE it is.
The card had a couple buildings, and the tops of some of those buildings cut, so it's pretty obvious where my inspiration came from. ;)


I'm considering doing another version of this card, with different colors and more watercolorey.


I didn't use the second step stamp on all of the buidlings from City Scene, just to give it a retro vibe.

That's it for me today - thanks so much for stopping in and enjoy the hop!

  2. Oh my - your card just jumped out at me from the gallery Clare and I really love this fabulous design. The grey background colour is perfect to offset the scene!

  3. I remember seeing that other card too but not sure if it was Jennifer Raza, Laura Bassen....Your card really stands out in the thumbnails, maybe because it's not floral but mostly the crisp stamping design you created. Lucky receipient~
