Happy Anniversary Papertrey Ink!

Papertrey Ink is celebrating it's FIFTH anniversary!  And they have been blowing us out of the water each day with their fabulous giveaways......today is all about their wonderful colors and we have been challenged to choose a favorite color swatch from one of their designers. I chose Melissa Phillips':

Melissa-colors

Here is my entry using these colors and the PTI set called "Year of Flowers: Violets":


supplies: white card, KI Memories striped design paper, BoBunny pink dps, Core'dinations aged mahogany cardstock, light and medium green cardstock, PTI Year of Flowers: Violets stamps, VersaFine onyx black ink, Basics dark pink rhinestones, Prismacolor pencil, and Memento marker for shading

Violets and pansies have lots of sentimental meaning to me, so this was a must-have set when it first appeared - even the sentiment in this set is a lovely one!
