It's another PTI hop and this month Nichole has challenged us to be inspired by cover art. I went one of my all time favorite children's book "He Came with the Couch". If you haven't read it I highly recommend checking it out next time you're in a book shop or the library, bound to warm your heart. Can't wait to see what other literary sources inspired others, always great inspiration on the hops.
Materials: PTI On My Couch and On My Couch Additions, Unity burlap background, button, Lil Inker stitched mat frame die, PTI On My Couch die, Tim Holtz distress inks wild honey, tumbled glass, faded jeans and dusty concord, Versafine black ink, Tim Holtz distress stain antique linen, Twinery twine, Sharpie black pen
Beyond adorable...I love the couch with the sweet little button.
