It`s time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month`s inspiration
picture has lots of colourful fabrics in blues, pinks and a little bit of green.
The fabrics that really inspired my card were the white
and blue ticking, the pink floral print and the pink polka dot.
1. Distressed Stripes were stamped in Bashful Blue (SU) onto PTI Rustic White card stock. The edges of the paper were sponged with the same blue ink. A row of blue stitching was done around the edge of the front panel.
2. The focal panel was cut with the Button Card die and then stamped with the frame from Button Boutique. The heading (Button Boutique) and the sentiment (Pretty Peonies) were stamped with Smoky Shadow ink.
3. Text Style was stamped over the button card with Fine Linen ink.
4. The button card was mounted onto a medium blue paper.

Fizz and Pure Poppy, hand cut and then added to the button card with
foam dimensionals.
7. Polka Dot Basics was stamped with Raspberry Fizz onto a small piece
of Rustic White card stock. The corners were rounded and the edges
were sponged with pink ink.

Card Interior

2. The small floral outline image was stamped onto Bella White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black, coloured with copic markers and then hand cut. It was then glued into position to accent the inside of the card.
Thanks for visiting today. Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!!

Very pretty card! Love those peonies and how you used the blue stripes for your background.
Lovely card! I like the way you finished the inside too.
Very nice. I'm inspired by your decorating the inside of the card also.
Really lovely - great combination of peonies and button boutique.
Your soft blue stripes remind me of a cozy flannel. Lovely card!
This is such a perfect interpretation of the challenge photo, I love it! I love the patterns you used, and the ribbon and pearls are so lovely. The Pretty Peonies bloom is just gorgeous! Awesome job. ;-)
Perfect!!!
Love your card Karen! Such a beautiful use of the peonies and the stripes are perfect!
What a fantastic card Karen. I love that you stamped the peonie on the Button Boutique die cut.

How very pretty Karen. Love the striped background, the fab button tag with the flowers... great take on the photo.

What a lovely card! Such a great combination of elements and stamp sets!
Beautiful! Love the 'interior' of the card!
Excellent combo of stamp sets, Karen! This is heartwarmingly vintage and so pretty. I want to frame it and hang it on the wall!
Love the stripes with the polka dots, this is such a great card with a bit of vintage feel to it. The inside is just as pretty.
I love your card both inside and out. Your attention to every detail is amazing.
This is so pretty, Karen! I really think I need Button Boutique now.... :)

Karen, your card is absolutely beautiful! Well done! :-)
I love how you mixed the two different stamp sets!
A beautiful card inside and out! Love your take on the inspiration photo!
Beautiful card! You did a great job with this one.
Such a pretty card!
Lovely card. Love those distress stripes in that blue. Oh so pretty. The peony looks great. Nice job cutting it. Love the text stamped. You always do a splendid joob with the interiors of your cards.
So pretty! I love the focal point!
This is a beautiful card--inside and out. I love how you replicated that blue striped fabric exactly--and so much care was taken with all the details. Great idea to use the button card die, too.
Great card. Love all the different elements, especially the stripes. and your use of the button die.
Truly a wonderful card! I love the color combination and your sentiment choices too. Just beautiful!
Oh, Karen! I love that we both focused on the blue stripes and used the same stamp set but ended up with very different cards. The big, bright dots look great in contrast to the stripes and the repetition by way of the pearls is perfect!
Thanks so much for your encouraging comment. I admire your work and appreciate your input. :)
Stunning! I love the ticking stripe background! Never would have thought to use the Button Boutique frame...so clever!
