PTI Blog Hop/Taylored Expressions

I am back for a second post today to participate in the PTI Blog Hop.  This month you are to share a skill or  technique you have learned from a fellow blogger.  Well I have learned so much from PTI designer Mellissa Phillips.  She has the prettiest shabby chic style I have ever seen.  I love the pastel colors and shabby seam binding she seems to work her magic with.  I could only hope to have mastered half her talent.


Round and Round is one of my favorite PTI sets.  The frame and pretty flowers, birds and butterfly options for the center stole my heart when I saw it.
I paired it with pretty Basic Grey Sugared paper and PTI's new Fine Linen satin ribbon.  I used the Mat Stack 1 PTI die.
I used this weeks sketch at Taylored Expressions to get me started for the Blog Hop.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/Aqua Mist
Stamps: PTI/ Round and Round
Paper: Basic Grey Sugared
Ribbon: PTI/Fine Linen
Seam Binding: Bluebirdlane Etsy
Ink: PTI/Black, Hawaiian Shores
Other: Doily,Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping by,
Heather

    Hey Heather, this is pretty! Melissa is one of my favorite PTI designer too, I just love her soft and romantic style. Guess what, after I saw your comment, I received an email saying that my package was only shipped on 9/20, no wonder it is not here yet, : (
