Boards and Beams, love and dreams!

Is it the 25th already!!?? The last time I attempted the Papertrey Blog Hop was waaayyy back in January and as I sat down to type up my post that day....my water broke...yep. Robin was born January 25th...maybe I should have named her something fitting like Nichole? Or Paper? Ribbon? Nahhhh- Robin suits her perfectly!! So anyway, I'm glad to be back into the swing of things and participating this time around.

Here is the challenge this month:

"Spring and summer tend to be the most colorful out of the four seasons. One color in particular that evokes the warmer weather is yellow!!! Your challenge this month is to use this trendsetting color to the best of it's potential! You can use it in small pieces as an accent or as the main color. Experiment & play, discovering new color combos that perhaps you hadn't thought of before. No matter what, just have fun and enjoy the feeling of happiness that this cheerful color evokes!"

All products are Papertrey Ink, unless I have them linked elsewhere.

I used Boards and Beams for this card, and am going to send it off to a friend who recently bought her first home. I stamped the image and sentiment with Palette Noir ink and coloured the house in with Copics, adding some Spica glitter to the windows. I cut it out using my Top Note die cut by SU! and inked the edges with Lemon Tart ink. Papers used are Lemon Tart cardstock, White Stamper's Select and the Lemon Tart paper from the Bitty Dots collection. I also used the Lemon Tart Swiss Dots ribbon and buttons from the Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist and Sweet Blush collections.
