Papertrey MIM #48: Creating Backgrounds with Border Dies


                             
Yikes! It's been sooooo long since my last post....... guess that I just need to jump right back in ASAP!

The PTI challenge is to use border dies as a background and there are so many creative options. I took my cue from Amber Draigre's post on Ella Publishing and loved the idea of the monogram cards, which make terrific little gifts for family and friends.

I used the negative portion of the PTI Victorian Lace border die and the "m" die cut from Block Alphabet (in addtion to a few Spellbinder dies and lots of PTI card stock).

Thanks for taking a peek at my long overdue creations!
