always & forever

Just over a year ago, my sister introduced me to Papertrey Ink.  I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I'm pretty sure my life changed that day.  I remember looking at all the products and spending an entire day during my Christmas vacation watching a marathon of Make it Monday videos:)  I remember making my first purchase soon after (I got Hello Sunshine).  Fast forward 6 months later when I started this blog (July 2013), I remember asking my sister "What's a blog hop?"  Hehehe...some time has passed and thank goodness I've learned a few things.  I'm super-happy to join my first Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!  Can I get a woot woot!


Our challenge was to use only shades of pink.  I was inspired by the curves and ombre in the inspiration photos.


The sentiment is from Grand Ampersand, and yes I sang Always and Forever (original version by Heatwave) while embossing it.


This card called for a lot of masking, which I find oddly relaxing!  I kinda changed course midway through making this -- from solid color curved sections to ombre within each curved section.  If I were to do this again, I'd make all the sections like the three curves on top.


Can't wait to check out everyone else's pretty pink cards.  Thanks for taking a look.
