Die-Crazy

Hi there!

I'm playing along with Simon Says Wednesday challenge today - to use a die or dies on a project.  My collection of dies seems to be ever growing!

I used Papertrey Ink's 'Text Block: Christmas Die', and mounted the cut image onto a red background cut with a stitched rectangle die.  A quick and easy card.
Be right back with one more.

Mod Squad Challenge - White Wash

Hi there!

I am playing along today with this week's Mod Squad Challenge - to use the "White Wash" technique!  You can find the challenge here.  I was not familiar with this technique until I watched Melanie Muenchinger's video (see link above).  Very easy technique, with lovely results.

Stamps are from Gina K Designs - image is from "Stately Flowers 6" illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger, and sentiment is from "Bold and Beautiful".  

Thanks for looking!

PTI's Stamp-A-Faire Patterns Challenge

Hi!

Papertrey Ink had their annual Stamp-A-Faire this weekend - lots of fun and so much inspiration!  A huge thank you to Nichole and the DT for all of their hard work!  I had a busy weekend and only had time to play in one challenge - the "Patterns Challenge".  I chose Lizzie's pattern #8.

The sentiment is from PTI's 'Phrase Play #5', the die is 'Tag Sale #3'.  Pink flower is cut from 'Beautiful Blooms ll #2 Die Collection', and smaller flower is from 'Bitty Button Stack'.  

Thanks for looking, and have a great week!

Papertrey August Blog Hop Challenge

Hi there!

It's time for Papertrey's  monthly blog hop challenge!  The inspiration photo is pictured below.  

Lots to draw inspiration from!  I chose to go with the ombre pink colour palette.

I used the 'Text Block Birthday Die', and attached it onto white cs sprayed with pink mist.  The background flowers are from the 'Petite Pots Anniversary Stamp Set'.  Nichole had used a small butterfly on one of her text block samples, and I think it adds a nice touch.  

Thanks for stopping by!
