More Watercolor

Here's my second card today for the Make It Monday challenge at Papertrey Ink. I used Scribbled Circles again, this time embossed with clear powder. Then I put some distress ink on my craft mat, spritzed it with water and smooshed my paper in it. This has a different look than my first card but I like it too.

Make it Monday - Watercolor Backgrounds

So this week I did some watercolor to participate in the Make It Monday challenge over at Papertrey Ink. I've never done watercolor, other than trying some pencils once, so it was a bit of a challenge for me.  When I first completed the watercolor panel I didn't think it looked that great, but once I got it on the card and added the sentiment I was pretty happy with it. I used my new Scribbled Circles stamps. I embossed them with aqua embossing powder and then used my Aqua Mist, Summer Sunrise and Hibiscus Burst inks. The sentiment is also new from Building Blocks. I was so happy that I found those little tiny pearls in my stash. The colors were a pretty good match and I think they really help to finish off the card.  It looks like they are little pins holding the strips. I did one more card tonight but I will put it in another post.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop


Hello! I made a little time tonight to make a card for the blog hop over at PTI. The theme this month is Sweet Spring. If I ever figure out how to include a link, or embed a picture I will start including those in my posts.   I didn't have much time so this is a CASE of a card Debbie Olson made last year when Polka Dot Parade #1 was released. I improvised a little and had to draw the grass by hand because I have no grass stamp *sad face*. I, of course, added some Wink Of Stella to the tail. I think you can see it in the second picture. 

Hope every one has a great day!

Another PTI Day 6 card

Here is one more card I made.  The die is from another company but all the paper is PTI. I have to say that I love the size of this die as a focal point. I also brushed over the word with my Wink Of Stella pen.

PTI Anniversary Day 6

Today we had to make a card with a word as the focal point.  I really wanted to use my birthday die, but felt it was to small on its own so I cut three. Actually,  I cut twelve,  nine out of brown, and layered them all together for extra dimension.

I'm also linking this one up to the Day One challenge.

Happy 7th Birthday Papertrey Ink!

I made this card for today's PTI anniversary challenge. It is the first time I have used copics on a card, other than just coloring gems or something small like that. It's a little messy but I was pretty happy for my first attempt. I'm also entering this card in the day one challenge. I used color recipe number 4 and sketch number 6.

Make it Monday #151

I was finally able to finish a card for this week's Make it Monday, drop shadow die cuts.  I'm also going to link this one up to the Day 1 PTI 7th Anniversary challenge.  I used the 7th color scheme and the first sketch as my inspiration.
