PTI September Blog Hop ~ Not A Creature...

Hello PTI friends~  I'm joining in on the fun at the PTI Blog Hop today using this lovely inspiration piece.
Blog Hop

It's not very often that my order for the new release arrives at my house before the blog hop but this month it was exceptionally fast and it arrived on Friday. 
I couldn't have been more excited to play!

I laid in bed Friday night thinking about how I was going to use these new sets for the blog hop and came up with this shaker card.  I suppose as I was trying to remember the inspiration photo, I remembered the sprigs more than I did the gift and twine part, but it is what it is and I still wanted to share it with you.  Hope that's ok.

Lots and lots of tiny little clear beads.  They got all over my craft table and I fear I'll be cleaning them up forever!



Inks Used:  Soft Stone, Smokey Shadow, Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, Saffron Spice, Spring Rain and Americana
I think I'm going to love working with these sets for Christmas this year!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have fun blog hopping!  
Blessings~ Birgit

Birgit, your card is so awesome. Love the scene your have created and even made it a shaker card, which I really have a hard time with. That little mouse and greenery around that sweet house is perfect.
