PTI November Blog Hop Challenge






I just had to play along this month--this inspiration photo is gorgeous and just shouts hospitality to me. As soon as I saw it I knew I could use it to help me with my NEXT year's Open House invitations.


Of course I also immediately thought of my new Door To Door stamp set and die accessories. My plan - since I have a prototype done now :) - is to try to get a few done every month so I won't be stressing over them come next November. I love the black on white with the little pop of color in the wreath. Very simple but elegant, too. And it didn't take *too* long to do, so here's hoping! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

~Supplies~
Stamps: Door To Door (PTI)
Paper: Stampers Select White (PTI)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: foam dots, Copic markers

    I really, really like how you left it like a line drawing. It makes the wreath stand out so well. Beautifully done.

    Oh how funny, we're both named Barbara and we both used a white front door! I love your steps though, the perfect finishing touch!
