Papertrey Ink December 2012 Blog Hop

Hello,

Hope you've had a happy holiday with family and friends.

I made this simple card for Papertrey Ink December 2012 Blog Hop.


Here's the inspiration:



My card:


Also submitting this to Simon Says... Anything Goes! 

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI (Signature Greetings)
Dies: PTI (Turning a New Leaf)
Paper: PTI (white)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

CAS-ual Fridays: CFC70

For this CAS-ual Fridays: Black & White Plus One challenge, i used negative die technique to show the color.  Black card stock is cut with the bigger flower die, and pink card stock is cut with the smaller flower die.  Tape the black card stock over the pink one and both mounted with foam tape on top of a white card stock.  Black buttons and embossed white sentiment completed the card.


Thanks for looking.






Tip: Separate the 3 pink flowers when you tape them under the black card stock.  That way, you can adjust them individually and have a perfect line up for each flower







Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (true black, hibiscus burst, white)
Stamp: PTI (sentiment from botanical silhouettes)
Other: PTI (beautiful blooms II #3 die collection), Tsukineko (versa mark), embossing powder, buttons

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger: Envy Becomes You


Hello everyone,

I made this card for Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger: Envy Becomes You.  I have this stamp set for a while and never played with it (as many many other stamp sets :)).

The shoe was colored with Copic markers, mounted on foam tape and had some glossy accents added on top.  For the sentiment, i printed it on a Word document with a space big enough for the word "fabulous" from Verve Stamps: Fabulous You.  

Thanks for looking.

A tiny rhinestone is added to finish the look...

Stamp: PTI (pretty peonies), Stampin' Up (birthday sentiment)

PTI Make It Monday #77: Ink Pads As Watercolors


Happy Friday everyone!!

I ADORE PTI's Pretty Peonies stamp set, especially there are stamps that i can color.  Today i'm sharing this card i made for my friend Karen, who just found out she's having a girl.




I used the watercolor technique Dawn McVey shared with us here.  I colored all the flowers with Memento Angel Pink.  The shadow is Copic RV14, since i don't have any ink pad in the same pink shade with Angel Pink.  

Thanks for looking.  Have a fabulous Friday!!


Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI (white)
Stamp: PTI (pretty peonies, signature greetings II)
Ink: Memento (angel pink)
Other: Copic 

Hero Arts - Feburary 2012B Challenge



Hello, how's everyone doing? It's been two weeks since i made a card. I just got over a cold with really bad sinus pain. The last few days, i was just looking at my stamping stuff and could not create anything. Deadline for Hero Arts February Challenge is up today, so i had to make something :)

I got my inspiration for the flowers' color from this week's Runway Inspired Challenge. After coloring with Copic markers, I masked the flowers and stamped HA envelope pattern background.

Another Card for Runway Inspired Challenge - RIC4

Yey, it's Friday.  First, i'd like to wish everyone a very happy Friday and a great weekend. 

Today, i'm sharing with you the easiest card EVER.  All you need is a computer with MS Word, a printer and a black gel pen.

I printed the word "THANKS" in MS Word, using font CAMEY.  You can download it free on Simply The Best Fonts.  Cut out the letters and set aside.  I then wrote the words "so much" on the cardstock.  I wanted to make sure i didn't mess up my handwriting before adding my rainbow THANKS.  Once that's done, adhere "THANKS" on the cardstock using foam tape.  Voila, a rainbow card!!  Thanks for looking.
