Hello and welcome to the monthly PapertreyInk blog hop!!!

This month let's focus on tissue paper! It has become one of the hottest trends in the paper crafting
world and we want to see you take it on! Whether it is die-cutting it to make beautiful layered blooms,
the faux silk technique, creating layered backgrounds or even delicate stitched pleated borders, we want
to see you get creative! And don't forget, your new stamps arrive lovingly wrapped in tissue paper each
month, so these can prove to be "free & green" projects as well! Have fun and we look forward to
seeing all of your projects!

And this is my take! I used the tissue paper that came with my last order and stamped my brandnew argyle stamps from "A little Argyle" on it. Then I glued the tissue onto PTI white cardstock, used one of the chairs from Lisa Johnson's new "Chair-ished" set and stamped it over the pattern and cut them out.

I then took a polka dot II stamp, inked it up with soft sky, stamped it on scrap paper and stamped it again on my white cardbase. That gave just a hint of the polka dots as a background.. like a soft rug or just a floor ... (unfortunately it is nearly invisible on the photo :( )

The chairs were stamped on the polka dots and I then adhered the argyle seats onto them. I finished the card with a black stripe from "Distressed Stripes", a red twine, Aqua Mist button and a sentiment from "On my couch" stamped in real red on an aqua mist distressed stripe.

Can you say "I love clean and simple"? ;-)

Thank you for stopping by!!!
