Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop



This month's PTI blog hop challenge was to use the above photo as inspiration. Colors, patterns, textures...you name it! 

I often use this color combo as well as lots of others using black & white with one color to pop so I had lots of ideas in my head for this one! I ended up designing several cards, but had to make a new one yesterday when my May order arrived. I decided to do a pattern using True Black & Simply Chartreause with the new On The Farm set animals.



For the checkered border & Howdy stamps I stamped first in the Chartreause than stamped again a tiny bit over and down in the black. I left it as basically a one layer card because even though it's simple in the layers, the patterns very busy and fills up the space with activity! I just loved all the little animals from this set and I hope I showed a little bit more of an unconventional way to use them to get as much use out of them as possible! 
Can't wait to go see all the great inspiration from the other PTI crew! Enjoy!

Hugs- Kelly

    Your card really stood out among the blog hop cards, I love the patterned paper you stamped with the sweet farm animals and how you offset the checkerboard strip...that was so smart and creative!
