Dynamic duos #66 challenge

Made a gate card for this color challenge. I love these colors. I wanted my embossed panel in the middle to peek through so I shortened the gate side folds. Used Papertey ink stamp sets Lovely Layers and background basics retro. Paper Colors are PTI aqua mist and black. Stamp colors PTI Fresh Snow, Hawaiian shores and True black. Added an aqua blue sequin for center of flower.

Freshly made sketches 99

So this one was a bit of a challenge. I can never figure out what to do with my circles when I have sketches like this. So I started with paper color choices and came across the patterned paper that reminded me of honeycomb. So then I decided to play with my Bee stamps from Papertrey Ink. I added some glitter to the wings of the bee to make them iridescent. I then stamped some flowers in versamark on the aqua card base. Pretty happy how it turned out considering I made most of this card in the dark since the power went out at my house. Ha ha, there could be a challange idea.. cards in the dark. LOL!

Make it Monday #129: white crayon resist

This week's make it Monday challenge on Nichole Heady's blog for Papertrey Ink is white crayon resist. My daughter must like white crayons because I couldn't find one but I did find a clear crayon from last years Easter egg dye set. So I inked the open leaf tree top with chocolate ink , then using the resist technique I colored the open leaf images with the clear crayon. Also did this for the falling leaves. I sponged blue, green and summer sunrise on the white cardstock and over image. Added some fun paper details, brads and sentiment.

Freshly made sketches 98, Dynamic Duos #65

Today I combined the Dynamic Duos color challenge with the freshly made sketches challenge. I made my card rectangular instead of square. I didn't have the exact stampin up colors for the color challenge so I used an old stampin up mint color and melon berry from PTI. I also wanted to play around with clear cardstock from Papertrey Ink (PTI). This is what I came up with.

Here are the challenges. Click on picture for link.

I won a honorable mention! Thank you.

Seize the sketch #1

I came across another blog with sketch challenges and I really liked the sketch, so thought I would give it a try. I decided to utilize the shaker and movers dies from Papertrey Ink and incorporate it into the card sketch. So the star moves along the space and I stamped a fun birthday sentiment inside the track area. Fun card to make.

Here is the sketch.

DD #64 challenge

So I stumbled across this fun site when blog hopping. Thought I would participate. I love card challenges, that is one of the only ways I can get creative with card making sometimes. Gives me a platform to start from. So this is my creation for this color combo. I don't have the new Stampin up colors so improvised with apricot and ruby red. I used the rock n roll stamping method for the hearts. Stamping them in two different colors. This card is a small square sized card. I wanted the sentiment to be the main focus.
