papertrey august blog hop challenge

The Papertrey Ink had a brown bag challenge.  Since I've been working on being "green," I don't usually have paper bags in the house.  I did find one beat up grocery bag (can't get my husband to use the totes every time).  So I cut it up and used that on my cards.  I had fun and made two cards.


stamp: Papertrey Ink pencil, apple, & "back to school"
ink: Impress mustard & poppy, VersaFine onyx black

I really liked Maile's card. I don't like how the turquoise played out on such a large bird on my card, plus I used purples instead of greens. Oh well, it was practice using colored pencils!
