The April Papertrey Ink Blog Hop challenge was to incorporate tissue paper into our projects. My first attempt was less than stellar so I gave it a second whirl and was much more pleased with the results! The intent of the first card is a masculine congratulations on earning your PhD. I was trying to create an award ribbon with the tissue paper.

My second attempt is a Get Well card. I might have cheated a bit by using a cellophane tissue paper for the butterfly insert but I thought it turned out nice.

Congrats
