PTI's Create Along With Us - Jan 2016

Hi there!

I had time to play along with Papertrey Ink's challenge this week: Create Along With Us!
I was inspired by Kay Miller's gorgeous card:

I came up with this:

Butterflies are cut using the matching dies from PTI's "Life is Beautiful"set.  The sentiment is from "Keep it Simple: Birthday Mini Stamp Set".

Thanks for taking a peek.  Have a great weekend!

Hi!

I am back with my entry for this week's Papertrey Make It Monday challenge - we get to choose one of the 2015 weekly challenges that we missed playing along with.  I chose Make It Monday challenge #234: Embellishing with Felt.

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!
