Papertrey Pals Challenge

I have never entered a challenge before, but when I saw the Papertrey Pals Color Challenge hosted by Mandy I knew I had to play. She had a picture of a beautiful comforter as the basis for the challenge and the colors were Enchanted Evening, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist and White. The first thing that jumped into my mind when I saw the picture was Dot Spot. The circular spots in the comforter are very similar to Dot Spot. I stamped up some patterned paper using the three colors on white cardstock. The base for the notepad is enchanted evening with a layer of aqua mist which is zig-zag stitched to the patterned paper. I cut a small border with the eyelet die and added a small felt flower with a PTI button center. To secure the notepad, I made a little magnetic tab to hold it closed. These colors are so cool and summery for what turned out to be a beautiful Memorial Day weekend.
Details:
Paper: PTI Enchanted Evening, aqua mist, hawaiian shores and white
Stamps: Dot Spot
Ink: Enchanted evening, hawaiian shores and aqua mist
Accessories: PTI felt, eyelet die, buttons and mini magnets
