Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

It's the 25th of January, which means it's time for Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop. As I mentioned in a previous post and in keeping with my goal this year to participate in more Make It Mondays and Blog Hops, I am finally joining in my first blog hop! It's about time!
The Challenge this month was to first pick your favorite Papertrey project from 2011. Then are asked to take it a step further and create a second card inspired by our first card. The details can be found on Nichole's blog.
So for my favorite card, I chose a card I posted in November here.

The reason I picked this card, is because I've just always thought this card was pretty. I love the layout with the edger die used along the bottom, and the pretty papers and colors. I like the doily, and I really like that seam binding ribbon! This was my first attempt at using seam binding ribbon.
So, for my inspired by card, this is what I came up with:

I kept the same layout, just using a different Edger die along the bottom. I also just had to use my new Limitless Layers Ovals, instead of the doily, and used a lighter shade of Seam Binding to match the patterned papers. I still like the original better, but this was definitely a lot of fun!
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my blog! Now I am off to hop around! I can't wait to see the amazing creations you Papertrey fans came up with!

Paper: Stamper's Select, Smokey Shadow, Echo Park (Yours Truly), and Wassaw (shimmer for key)
