Happy Birthday!



Just trying out a few new PTI dies today (the doily peeking out on the left and the stack of 3 buttons in the middle of the flower). I think I've grown to love PTI's dies as much as their stamps :)




The papers are all from PTI Library Ledger paper pad, and the Happy Birthday sentiment is from Club Scrap.




Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  8. Wonderful art work Diane. I love the papers you used, the green stipped one is gorgeous. I often wonder how long it takes to make such a card, it just looks so labor intensive to me, with all the layering and such. It's a great card, in fact, it's more a work of art then a card. You have such a good eye for matching papers and cut out formats... Love this card!

  32. Fabulous, Diane! You did a marvelous job of combining all the die shapes and I love the colors. I had all my PTI dies out when I was looking for shapes to use in the last challenge and was a little shocked to see how many I have. Seems I'm buying more dies than stamps. They are AWESOME though!
