Papertrey Ink - March Blog Hop

The challenge was to create something with high gloss. How fun! I'd love to try this with more options I thought of. But, I have just the one card to share with you today.

I used Wishes Come True, the circle embossing plate, and Wonderful Words: Additions for my card. Card base is Raspberry Fizz and the gray is a Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock (a great mid tone gray.)

I added Glossy Accents to my candles. I hope you can see it in the photo! Very cool - love all the texture on this card.

Enjoy your hop and thanks for stopping by.

Way To Go...

Just a super quick card using some leftovers that were laying on my desk from some other projects.





It's super hard to photograph but I outlined the star with my Wink of Stella pen so it's all glittery and shimmery.


Cardstock: black, Simply Chartreuse, Orange Zest (Papertrey)
Stamps: Star Prints (Papertrey)
Other: washi tape, Wink of Stella pen, star die (PTI)

Leave a little sparkle...

Second post tonight! :) I have another entry for the Papertrey Inspiration Archive for March. I really like this color combo!

And here is my card:


I hope you can see how I used my Wink of Stella glitter pen on the middle strip that says "Sparkle" - it really does sparkle IRL!




Again, my color theme followed the inspiration but the exact colors were just a tad different. My card base is Smokey Shadow, the star is Simply Chartreuse, and the word strips are Hibiscus Burst.

You'll be seeing more cards from me this week (posts are written and scheduled!) I've been crafty but just delayed photographing them in decent light, uploading, editing, and posting.

Thank You...using Papertrey Inspiration Archive

Papertrey Ink has a new feature in their monthly newsletter where they will provide color and sketch inspiration. I took a few of those ideas and made the following card.



Here is the Color Play and Sketch I used.

 My colors followed the theme but were just a tad different. I used Smokey Shadow as my card base with a strip of Simply Chartreuse. "Thank You" was heat embossed in white and then a strip of Raspberry Fizz (stamped with a white stripe (BB: Super Stripes) was added below my sentiment.

PTI MIM #153 Watercolored Background

I had some time this weekend to play along with Papertrey's Make It Monday challenge.







I heat embossed the medallion from Mehndi Medallion on to watercolor paper and then used my ink refills to watercolor over it. I then heat embossed my sentiment onto a separate scrap of black cardstock, matted them both onto Pure Poppy card base and then add a bit of ribbon (although it doesn't really look like traditional ribbon - it's kind of rough like a twine.)



Thanks!

PTI Building Blocks challenge

I was able to squeeze in a card for today's challenge on Papertrey Ink.




My challenge was to use:
Pure Poppy
Raspberry Fizz
Hibiscus Burst
Fine Linen
Birthday
Heat embossing
Felt
Baker's twine
Sketch #6

Whew! Never would I have put those colors together and I was pretty intimidated, but I forged ahead. Surprisingly, I kind of like how this turned out. Who knew?! :)




I embossed the sentiment (from a Think Big set) in white on a Just the Ticket die (in Raspberry Fizz). I added a double ended banner die cut from Hibiscus Burst. I drew the border with a white pen and die cut the butterfly (from Happy Trails) from Pure Poppy felt. Who knew butterflies could be red? ;)



These challenges are great for stretching my creativity!

Happy birthday in stripes

It's more stripes! I love stripes! And polka dots, but there are none of those today. One more entry for the Papertrey Ink challenge.






I found some very old Daisy D scrapbook paper in my stash and used that as my background. Then I cut two pieces from Tag Sale 5 - one in vellum and one in Simply Chartreuse. The Happy Birthday and label stamp is from Little Labels. The stars are covered in Wink of Stella and photographed all wonky - sorry about that.
