After those stunning yellows, here is something blue. Every wondered about the term “feel so blue”? Here is an article about the colours. Quoting from this article – “ The proximity of dark blue to black on the colour scale, and its historical grouping with dark colours, may have contributed to blue’s links to depression and to fear – to have the blues, or to feel blue ” I listened to a lot of Jim Reeves when I was growing up – dad loves him. I still do listen to him. This song Blue Christmas is what I remember when I see this blue bird .. ah.. well.. I am rambling :) The little bird & “you” is from Papertrey ink ’s Little Bitty Bird .  The “MISS” in the sentiment is from a dollar alphabet set. Added a tiny bit of glitter to the leaves and the bitty bird. Here is another variation – same stamp set but with the bigger bird and a bigger sentiment. The sentiment is hand stamped with that dollar alphabet. The sentiment must be stamped slightly closer together verti...

Did you read all that gossip on Papertrey ink ? We don’t have to worry too much about all that isn’t it ;) I love Papertrey ink – there is soo much one can do with one set of stamps. So many possibilities.. endless like Nicole says. I am just happy with the few sets I can afford from them and leave the gossip to the ladies there in the thick of things :D What say! :)))) This is NOT the rambling I’ve mentioned in the title.. it comes at the end of the post <grin> Well, I got a few Papertrey ink sets recently and here are a a couple of cards. This one is from the Flower Fusion #10 . When I saw this card by Danielle, I knew I had to have it.

I have two cards  to share with you. Hopefully you won’t see yellow everywhere after this :) These two cards are meant to be as per the faux Letterpress technique – but I think it is meant to be the other way round.. as in the white here must be yellow and the yellow white – YKWIM! But I love these cards.. super simple :) I inked the surface of the Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers – the surface where the design is a valley and not raised. Place your card within the folder and run through your machine. Voila – a very stylish card.. all I need to do is stamp a sentiment and pop it on this card as a banner – like in this card Here is another one using a similar technique – using the Blooms Dots folder. Would you like a tutorial for this easy peasy technique? I can post a few pictures :) Let me know. Tomorrow I have some interesting PTI cards to share and my thoughts on the problems which come with too many stamps. I would love to hear from you about that too :) Thanks for stoppi...
