PTI July Blog Hop

This month's challenge was to incorporate Text into your project. I love PTI's stamp set Background Basics: Text Style. Love it! It's great for card making, scrapbooking and making little gifts like I did today.
I have a very sweet and dear friend who has spoiled me by sending surprises in the mail. So now it's my turn. I stamped the Background Text in Summer Sunrise onto the labels that PTI sells to fit the Hershey's nuggets. I wrapped the nuggets and put them into a clear case that I recently got from a PTI stamp set that I purchased.
I then used the same stamp but with Versamark ink to make a nice subtle watercolor mark on the Green Leaf Cardstock. I adhered some gorgeous Lemon Tart Bitty Dots paper onto that. I had used some Summer Sunrise and a sponge to ink the sides up a bit for dimension. I cut out my Top Note die in Aqua Mist and again used Versamark with the same stamp for a nice background.
To the Top Note die I added some pretty satin ribbon to the corners. Then I stamped a flower image from Beautiful Blooms onto Summer Sunrise with Versafine Sepia and then heat embossed with clear EP. I mounted it with a gorgeous Rustic Wood and a Lemon Tart button that my friend had sent me {along with about a hundred other buttons!} I threaded some twine through them and the sentiment that I had stamped onto some Spring Moss Bitty Dot Patterned Paper.
I sure hope she likes it. Thanks for looking and have fun hopping!!!
