Papertrey Ink November 2015 Blog Hop Challange

 Use this inspiration pieces as a jumping point for your next project, which could be holiday or non-holiday
 I love the non traditional colors on this inspiration picture and this is what inspired me.

                               Here is the card that I made yesterday for this hop.

On white card stock, I stamped the Brushed off stamp set with PTI Aqua Mist ink, and then sprinkled it with Recollections embossing powder, in Sparkle. It looks like icicles all frosty and shimmery. Then I used the Heart-2-Heart stamp set, which is balloons and turned them upside down to make ornaments.  They are stamped in Turquoise Sea and Pear Tart inks. The sentiment is from, Wreath for all Seasons.

I am also entering this in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Holiday Card Here

This was fun to make and I have to give credit to Donna Phelan, who reminded me to enter this challenge.
Thank you to all you stop to take a look.

    What a cute idea and another way to stretch our stamps. I was paging through your blog and from September back I can't see any of the cards you made . Have they all been removed?
