Remember that song, "Blame it on the Rain" by Milli Vanilli? (Does that give away my age? LOL!) Well, the title of this post should really probably be, "Blame it on Keva!" On PTI release night Amy, Laurie & I always have a mini party and chat for an hour or more online. I look forward to this night every month! Well, the month that PTI's set "Flutterby Friend" was released none of us thought we needed it. We didn't even like it then. None of us.
Enter Keva.
Keva thought she needed it, so she bought it.
She created with it.
We all liked what we saw.
We all bought it too! LOL!!
See what I mean about blaming it on Keva? It was all her fault! LOL! So, in honor of her, we are sharing cards made with this set on our blogs today. The links to the other blogs are at the end of this post. So without further ado, here is what I created for this blog hop!
I had such a great time working on this card!! I am so in love with this distressed dots paper...in love I tell you!! It is by far my favorite of any PTI paper that I have ever purchased!
If you look closely, you'll see that I used some twine knot berries on my image panel. Those are just so fun and irresistible to make and adds just a tiny pop of color. I colored the images with my copics but didn't do a lot of shading since I used regular ink and I didn't want to smear it. I did use my colorless blender to take off some of the ink to give it a tiny bit of shading. I based this card on Laura's sketch for 2 Sketches 4 You.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Please be sure to visit my other blog hopping buddies today too to see what they have created using this set! (Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, I listened to Milli Vanilla music as I prepared this post!! LOL!)
(Oh and Eva, you really DO need this polka dotted paper!!)

Oh gosh...I love how you created that scene with the flowers in the set. It looks awesome. You know, I didn't think I needed this paper, but y'all are making me rethink that. I guess that's payback! This card rocks...the colors, the scene...just too sweet.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute Jen! I love that paper too!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! What a stunning card. Loved the color combination and the design. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Jen :) You girls are funny...maybe by the time I get done looking at all of your blog posts today with this set, I will be sold as well.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration on this mini blog hop with my most favorite PTI set, so much fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO PRETTY, Jen! Love the distressed dots in the background! Great colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in this Jen - reminds me of a summers day. Truely lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Jen! I love the scene you created and the pink leaves are awesome. This is a set I've always loved, but had put away and kind of forgotten about, thanks so much for the inspiration to pull it back out.
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of this card, Jen...and the color choices are awesome!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat card and beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Now I need to pull mine out and make some cards with it!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!!!love those little knots!
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful! I love the colour combo, the layout, and those baker's twine knots are an awesome little detail! LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteJen, this was soo much fun wasn't it? I LOVE LOVE the added berries you did! That is such a great idea! Your take on the 2s4y sketch is great too....that funny angled thing kinda threw me but after seeing your amazing card gives me hope that I can do this! Angles are my downfall.....remember those 5 Verve sketches? I didn't do the angled one!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jennifer! Love the cherries and the coloring of the leaves is awesome. Great take on the sketch too! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I love your french knots!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing at 2S4Y!
Laura
So beautiful! Love all of the details and layers (especially that distressed dots paper----I may just NEED that now---HA!)!
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny! This is a very pretty card- that's the danger of seeing what other's have made with sets you didn't think you needed! HA!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I didn't think I needed this set either and it has been in and out of my cart. Guess I'll commit to it. I'll blame it on you!
ReplyDeleteThis post really puts a smile on my face. :-) The card is gorgeous, and so are the colors. I have this set too, but it hasn't seen much ink yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely! Those French knots are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card!!! I couldn't possibly love it more!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Jen! You did a fantastic job with this set! Everything about it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love how you did this in 'nontraditional' colors. And the twine...what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is just so pretty!
