Papertrey Ink's July Blog Hop!

This is my second post for the day. I know. Crazy. Please scroll down to see the first one!

This month's inspiration for Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop is this amazing photo:

Nichole said: "Look closely and there are so many directions to go in! You can choose to focus on the colors, the motifs or the overall design!"

I think I focused on the colors and the design for my project. I love Papertrey Ink's colors of Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist and Orange Zest. So, I used those colors, along with a technique Nichole challenged us to use in the Stamp-a-faire Challenge #10. It is to add a stamped focal point over a stamped background, all in the same layer!

Here's my card for the Blog Hop and the Stamp-a-faire challenge:

You can play along with both challenges by heading over to Nichole's blog here.

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place today!
