Creating Your Own Custom Border with PTI MIM #217

Happy Make-It Monday folks! Laurie's got a great video on creating your own custom borders over at Nichole's blog. You can find all the details HERE.

As you can see I used Nostalgic Notions to create my border and card. The sentiment is from Ruby Rose. The colors I used were Momento Angel Pink, PTI's Spring Rain and Pure Poppy.
I popped my panel up to give it some depth, just like Laurie did in the video.
I love how this card came out!
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
