Papertrey and CPS Challenge

Saturday's Challenge over at Papertrey was to participate in the CPS sketch this week. Ok, says I, I will!! Thing is, it takes me so long to make a card; this one took me 2 days to finish, lol. Well, work and life sure do get in the way!!

Paper is Pure Poppy and Stamper's Select. I am trying tonight to load the camera right into the laptop, see what programs I have there to fix color- then go sit in the car and upload on the wireless signal floating around out there. I am preparing to go to the cabin this week, and contemplate packing all of my PTI supplies to be able to finish out the challenges, so I need to check the photo editing and uploading. At the moment, the Pure Poppy looks too pink, so I may give up on this idea. I'd rather post nothing than post something that looks wonky.

I stamped dots from Polka Dot Basics in white SU Craft on Pure Poppy, the punched the edges. The border punch is Fiskars, the ribbons are PTI Pure Poppy Twill and their new silk. The white satin is from Michael's. The button is from the Pure Poppy stash, I was sad I could not find a little heart in there!



I put the hugs & kisses border from Simple Valentine along the outer edges of the base card, and rounded the edges of the second layer with the small SU corner rounder.
Let me know if you see it as Pure Poppy- I am going to try and download the Kodak program in here, too!

Love your card! Nice and red, no pink. And you did this from your car? Have fun at the cabin!

It was worth the time. This is a super pretty card. There is so much I like about it. The stamping around the outer edge, the punches, ribbon. I love it all.
