Turning a New Leaf Meets Big Glittery Brads

Just a quick post because the back-to-school rush, combined with a new puppy, is KILLING me. Well, not literally. But back-to-school and Daisy are sucking up every minute of my spare time.

So here's a card with big glittery brads that have languished in my hoard for the better part of a year and my favorite PTI set.



I don't really like the colors here (seems a bit drab to me), but they were dictated by the brads. Wouldn't red glittery brads or pink glittery brads or even white glittery brads be happier looking? Well, I don't have those colors. I have green. And now I have three fewer.

At least I've got that going for me.

Supplies
stamps: PTI
ink: can't remember, probably VersaMagic
paper: PTI ripe avocado, something else, and white
accessories: big glittery brads (Michael's) dimensionals, threading water punch

  1. Oh my gosh!

    I went into my stash of brads today and pulled out the exact same ones!

    I used them on an entirely different project - jazzed up some vintage K & Co. paper.

    But it's just so weirdly coincidental for two of us to pull the same thing out of dust bin!

    P.S. I think this looks great - and in person I'm guessing that green sparkle really adds a splash of life. Good job.

  9. Trust you to choose the perfect edge punch to echo the brads! You've taught me to notice, which saves me mucho time and wasted cardstock these days.

    That's a perfect card and you're just so versatile you've posted probably at least 10 different cards using that PTI set. ALL of them perfect.
    Thanks.

  18. The colours work beautifully together. I don't think it looks 'drab' at all! It looks as if it just should like this.
