PTI March 2013 Blog Hop: Sequins

This month's Papertrey blog hop challenge is to use sequins.  This challenge gave me a good reason to go shopping as I didn't own any sequins.   And we've got lots of April birthdays in our family, so I used this challenge to start on my birthday card.

For my first card, I was inspired by a color combo from the graphics on a commercial for Oprah's Super Soul Sunday show.  The colors made me think of Funky Florals, so here's the result:

In my second card, I tried to use a color scheme to go with the iridescent sequins.  I'm not in love with the final result.

Thanks for stopping by!

This week's PTI Make It Monday challenge is to make your own inked background.  Here's my first card, with a layout borrowed from a Dawn McVey card.

I almost didn't buy Mini Blooms, but am so glad that I did!  I really love how the colors on this card turned out.
