Casing Becky

 Hi,

Today I have a card for Papertrey Ink's "The Great Cover-Up" where we are to create  a birthday card, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Add a Die Cut. Normally, I don't do a lot of casing, but I liked Becky R's card so much that I had to attempt it. 

Thanks for having a peek.

Spring Dahlia

 Hi,

Today I have a card for Papertrey Ink's "What Do I Do With This" challenge where we are to make a card using embossing powder, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Add a Die Cut.

I covered the center panel with Versamark Ink  and embossed it with "Rainbow Sparkle" embossing powder.  It doesn't show in the photo, but it is nice and sparkly in real life. 

Thanks for stopping by.

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.
