Make For The Border – PTI Style.

Yes – we have a new challenge over at A Passion for Papertrey.  The title might give you a clue to this one… we want to see your interpretation of “borders”.  Easy or what?
I have been busy making my “Thank You Teacher” cards.  The new Fruit Fusion: Apple stamp set and die were the obvious choice for this project and as the colour of apples is often red, I am in Pure Poppy heaven too!  I used the Simple Alphabet set to create the name of the teacher and and Round and Round for the Thank You sentiment.

{Recipe}
Stamps: Fruit Fusion: Apple, Simple alphabet, Round and Round.
Card: Acetate, coaster (apple die cut)
Ink:  Pure Poppy, New Leaf, Smokey Shadow
Other: Apple die, gingham ribbon (SU!)
The “border comes from cutting a chunk out of the card front with pinking shears and replacing the missing bit with acetate to give a wee window effect.
 
Hope you can pop over and join us.
