PTI's Round and Round Set

PTI's Round and Round Anniversary set sits up and begs for a clean and simple treatment. I decided to use every image in the set at one go, and took the path of least resistance for all the circle images. Punched and popped over the lovely flourished dotted frame takes full advantage of the set, and by varying the colors and bling, I had a blast!

Hot pink and lime green need bling. Big bling.


Soft yellow and green need small, subtle bling.


Pumpkin and olive don't need any bling at all. If I had to pick a favorite, this would be it. But perhaps I'm just longing for fall and cooler weather and this card makes me think of fall. And cooler weather. And sweaters. And fleece. And no suffocating humid sticky hot air making me sweat glow.

I'm sorry. Am I whining?


Sahara sand and pink definitely need bling.


Blue and green and a butterfly positively demands bling. What is it about butterflies that makes us want to bling them? Is it that they are so beautifully embellished in real life? I suspect so.



Which version is YOUR favorite?

  4. All are beautifully CAS, perfect. I think my favourite is the hot pink & lime but probably because I'm the opposite of you, I'm yearning for something brighter, our uk summer seems to be just rain and miserable, grey days!

  8. Beautiful and superbly simple all, my favourite would be the second pink card. I love the symmetry:)
    So sorry you aren't enjoying your heat, could do with some over here, it's quite chilly at times and wet, totally British weather! :D xx

  9. Love them all but the bird and the butterfly are my favourites - not only are they the two images I like the best but I prefer the small bling to the big bling. If I had to decide between those two, probably the butterfly because I love the colours.

  16. If you force me to chose I will have to go with the bird 1st & the butterfly 2nd. They are all lovely.

  19. Great set indeed! I love them all, but the bird is my favorite. Thanks for using PTI, you do wonderful things with their sets, they should hire you!

    ReplyDelete
  20. The pumpkin and olive get my vote. And yes, PTI SHOULD hire you because you enhance EVERY stamp, even the ones that aren't your style.

  23. You do this so well! I really like all of them. But to pick just one, I'd go with the Sahara sand and pink. Love the 'bling' on it!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm torn between the blue/green and sahara sand/pink. Both are so soft and pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  25. All are so pretty, Susan. I'm with you on the pumpking one. I love the flower image and I too am ready for some cooler weather!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, the cards are so beautiful and I would not know which one is my favourite, I like them all.

  27. I like that you omitted any sentiments to keep the focus on the images. Your touches are bling were just perfect.

  28. They are all so very pretty and delicate, but I like the yellow and green the best, closely followed by the pumpkin and olive. Thanks for showcasing this set...my very good friend gave me her 2nd set that she received. Now I have some ideas on how to use the stamps!

  29. My favourite... the soft yellow and green bird on a flowering branch. I would not say no to any of them, however. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well, it's a tough call! For me, it's a tie between the Soft yellow and green and the sahara sand and pink :)

    They are all really quite lovely!

    ReplyDelete

  33. These are beautiful. They would make such a great set to give someone, too. I'm partial to the yellow for some reason, and I like the pink/sahara sand a lot, too. I have that color ink and never use it, but maybe now I will.
