Birthday Cheer

 Hi,

On this week's Papertrey Ink's Video Series with Shauna Todd, Shauna shows us how to create a birthday card using the fun set 'Pattern Party' to add some "WOW" to a card.  Our challenge is to create a birthday card with a "WOW" factor.

I created my own patterned paper using a gel plate, and used it for one of the flowers.  I also used PTI's 'Vineyard Impression Plate' to add some interest to the golden circle.  The gold leaves were cut from paper given to me by a friend who added the golden sheen to regular kraft paper (Thanks Vivian!). 

Thanks for stopping by.

Pretty in Purple

 Hi,

Papertrey Ink's "What Do I Do With This" challenge this week is to create a card using different mediums to add texture.  

I used a PTI dots stencil to add texture to the background panel using glitter paste. I then HAD to use my new "Into the Blooms: Roses Dies" - great set with lots of possibilities!  I also threw in a leaf from another beautiful set "Into the Blooms: Dahlia Dies".  I used my gel plate and distress oxide inks to add colour to the flowers and leaves, which were then splattered with purple and white inks.  I also added some sparkly Stickles to the flowers.  

Thanks for stopping by.
