Floral Heart Wreath Thanks

Hi everyone! 
The 11th Anniversary celebration at PTI is in full swing, and today's challenge asked us to use florals on our card. No problem there! 
I wanted to  use the Gathered Garden set for the first time, so I  had two tries that ended in the trash played around with it bit and decided to make a wreath. 

These stamps are easy to manipulate so you can bend the stems either way as you place them on the block. This makes coming up with a rounded shape so much easier. 
I'm keeping this quick so as to get on with my weekend activities. Hope yours is going well! Thanks so much for taking the time to swing by.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Inspiration

Hello friends,
Hope you are having a lovely holiday weekend! 
My times with family have been such a blessing and we've had lots of fun visiting and lovely weather. 
I actually made this card last week so that I could be ready for the blog hop.

Our inspiration photo contains beautiful elements of autumn. I was inspired by the greens gathered around the gold word in the centerpiece and the lovely creams of the table settings.

I used the Year of Psalms February Mini Stamp Set, and embossed it in gold on vanilla card stock. The floral background images are Gathered Garden Stamp Set. I added a gold embossed image accent among the leaves and berries.

I hope you've been inspired by my card today. Much thanks for your visits and kind comments!
