Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop!





For this month's blog hop, we were challenged to pick a favorite project of ours from 2011, and revisit it.

I chose this card:


This time, I added a few medallions, colors and varied the position of the sentiment:


As you can also tell, I have a new camera since that original card - so everything doesn't look like I photographed it in a dungeon! :-)


Enjoy the hop!

    LOVE these beautiful, simple cards. I wish I could do simple like this - one-layer cards really just terrify me. :-P These are perfect. Love your profile pic, too. And congrats on the new camera! ;-)

    Always a winning match of medallions and bold sentiments! Love the way you used them.

    Love the original and the updated version. I never fail to wonder at the beauty of that Mehndi stamp. I think this card would make a great model for a card set. I see one in my future...

    Simplicity at its BEST -- LOVE that Mendhi Medallion and you've created not only 1-layer wonders with it and your Think Big sentiments, but these would truly make fabulous card sets in various colors/sentiments and a handmade case to hold them would be such a thoughtful/truly useful gift for anyone!!! TFS and inspiring me!!!

    The medallion looks so pretty stamped in a variety of colours. I like how you used it as the background to your sentiment. Very soft and pretty card.

    I like how the sentiment and the medallions work together. I love the colors you used and the style. I can never do CAS.

    I have been browsing on-line more than three hours as of late,
    yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like
    yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet shall be a lot more useful than ever before.
