It's time for the Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop. The challenge issued this month was to use tissue paper on our creation. I've never done that before so stuck with a simple tissue paper flower. I used my BB2 die to cut multiple layers of tissue paper that had been stamped with Polka Dot Basics2.
Thanks to Kimberly for letting me borrow her Labels Twelve Spellbinders die. I like how that part turned out. I simply popped up the Summer Sunrise with pop-dots.
The sentiment is inside. I intended for it to be below the cutout but goofed up (darn double images) so, I concealed my boo-boo with a bow and tied on a dragonfly charm. You can see a closer up image of the polka dots and the charm here.
Stamps: Polka Dot Basics 2, Round & Round for inside sentiment (both PTI)
Ink: Van Dyke Brown (Nick Bantok), Lemon Tart (PTI) Vintage Linen (Ranger), Vintage Tea Duo (PTI)
Paper: Rustic White and Summer Sunrise (PTI)
Other: brown polka dot ribbon (Hobby Lobby), charm and button (unknown), twine (PTI), Beautiful Blooms 2 die (PTI), Labels Twelve (Spellbinders)
Enjoy the rest of your Hop!

That flower is SO beautiful, and I love how you showcased it in the window, and added the ribbon and charm! GORGEOUS!
Oh I LOVE this!!!! It's gorgeous!! I've never used the dies to cut out a card front before...I need to try that!! And I love how using the pop dots on the Summer Sunrise adds a lot of simple dimension. GREAT JOB!!!! Just might have to CASE this one. ;)

I love your flower popping out of the cut out. Pretty card!
The frame for that gorgeous flower is just perfect!! Going to have to look around for that die!
this is fabulous Jennifer! I love the dimension you added with the cut out frame and embossing! Your flower is just perfectly poofy and soft - and that dragonfly is a gorgeous finishing accent! LOVELY!!
Wow Jennifer, I love how you designed this card! The frame you created for your beautiful ruffly flower is just too clever. I also really like the colors you chose too. A very classy, elegant card!
Your flower is so puffy and full. It looks like real silk! Beautiful. Simple. Elegant.
Oh I just love this! I definitely need to try popping up a matted layer around a focal point!
Beautiful! Fabulous way to showcase the flower. And I was already to say how I liked your ribbon treatment. I think some of our best work comes from covering goof-ups. I still like your ribbon treatment!
Really gorgeous Jen! That flower is fab and I love the center of it too! Love how you used the negative space of the die cut. Really great!
This is one of my favs so far & I'm (finally) half way through after battling flu for days & being too sick to finish last night! GORGEOUS! Going into my favs for future reference!
How gorgeous, Jennifer!! I so love your pouffy flower and the cut-out label is a wonderful idea--it makes your flower such a beautiful focal image!
Gorgeous!!! Totally love this idea!!! Hugs ~S~
I love that you have this peeping through! So simple and elegant!

Oh my goodness Jennifer. I think this is my favorite "flower" card from the hop. The BG is striking in its simplicity. I just love how you popped it up.
Love that flower and the dragonfly charm is very cool too!
