Papertrey January blog hop challenge

 
Hi there and thanks for visiting.  This month's challenge was to ink up a stamp set that hasn't seen much use.

I immediately knew that I should break out A Little Argyle.  I have to confess that I've only used it once (not very successfully)!  I seem to have an argyle mental block.  So this was the perfect challenge.


Here's what I came up with:

Photobucket




Supplies
Paper - PTI vintage cream, aqua mist, ocean tides
Stamps - PTI A Little Argyle, Layers of Color Architectural Blocks
Ink - Versafine onyx black
Accessories -PTI aqua mist satin ribbon, foam tape

    Beautiful, Ann. I love the black and cream with just a bit of color for pop - really lovely. Now, I need to go see if I can get a little something together... ;)

    The argyle makes a nice background for the architectural blocks.

    I like the argyle :>) I admit, I don't tend to use the stuff that takes a long time to line up, so I commend you!

    You did a fabulous job with the argyle! It works perfectly with the main image, and the AM ribbon softens it up nicely. Lovely job!
