Papertrey Ink - Betsy's Motif Building Technique


Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! If you read my post yesterday, you will know that I am in the kitchen right now baking pumpkin pies. I bought pies... shhhhh... :)  I have one more Thanksgiving to celebrate then it's on to Christmas! The girl and I are going to get the trees out tomorrow and start our decorating! Can't wait! 

I LOVED the technique that Betsy shared for the the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday post HERE. That is SO me!! I could not wait to try it myself! Here is what I did!


This is seriously so much fun to do! I could just sit around all day long making these! What's so fun is that you really don't know how they are going to turn out or what they're going to look like until you're done! I think it's the element of surprise that I find so intriguing :) 


Here's a close up so you can see if you can find my boo boos! haha! There are a few, and there are some things that are not even, but when I finished the whole card, you really couldn't even tell. Another thing I love about this technique! So if you want to learn how to do this you can find Betsy's video right HERE.

STAMPS: Cup of Cheer, Quilted Winter, Holiday Folk Mini MIM kit
INK: Pure Poppy, New Leaf, Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse, Summer Sunrise

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a fun weekend!

Kay :)
