More PTI Anniversary Challenges

Here's my entry for today's challenge of "Thinking Big". Whenever I need a big sentiment, I think of these great greetings in Big and Bold Wishes. The main greetings are also in one of my favorite fonts!


I still love how teal and brown go together, so that's what I went with on here. The greeting is actually stamped with Stampin' Up!'s Early Espresso, but it photographed almost black. I hadn't used the button bow technique in a while so I figured I'd do that. That technique is where you loop the ribbon, tie a knot in the center with string to actually cheat making the bow, then add your button on top- I know I found out how to do this from a video, but I cannot remember who posted it, sorry!


Size:6-3/4x3-3/4
Supplies:
  • Stamps: In Bloom, Big & Bold Wishes(Papertrey Ink)
  • Ink: Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip, Taken with Teal (Stampin' Up!)
  • Paper: White, Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip
  • Ribbon/String:5/8 inch Satin Ribbon- Teal Michaels, Baker's Twine Dark Chocolate v
  • Button- Dark Chocolate(Papertrey Ink)
  • Punch:Border Punch- Diamond Lace (EK Success)
