PTI Challenge- SCALLOPS!

This month we decided to dedicate the Blog Hop to scallops!

 

 

I tried something new with my photos. My daughter gave me a quick lesson in this over the weekend. I took notes and, naturally, left them there! I muddled through PSE and hope I have done it correctly!

 

 

Here is my scallop card. All materials are PTI except the little gems from Hero Arts.

I love the Spring Moss color but it really doesn’t photograph well.

I need to play with that a little.

Colors are Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, Lemon Tart and Simply Chartreuse. Stamp is Year of Flowers: Marigold.

Hope you all enjoy the hop!

Think Big Challenge

 

    Have a big bouquet? This is my answer to this challenge.

  Make a project that incorporates something mega-sized!

This is the challenge at PTI.

All materials are from PTI except the crystals. Those I found in the $1 bin at Michael’s. They are a perfect match to the PTI papers.

The card itself is oversized and will fit in a legal sized envelope.

Check out the links to the other BIG projects. There are some really talented people.

 

Thank you PTI.

Enjoy

Tuesday Trigger

Good Morning,

Isn't this pretty. Makes me want to call my best friend and have her come over for coffee (or tea).

This is the TUESDAY TRIGGER over at Moxie Fab World. If you need a little kick of inspiration this is definately the place to visit.


I love the colors and the entire feel of this. I wanted to keep as much of the color and idea the same in my card. I've also been having a ball making all kinds of paper flowers. This gives me an excuse to make some more. I'm avoiding the weeds in the 5 gardens I have in my yard. Overwhelmed with the weeding chore, I can make paper flowers and throw away the "weeds". ;)


I had this paper from Scrapdashery in my stash. When I saw the background in the trigger it immediately came to mind. All other materials are from Papertrey Ink. Enchanted Evening was a perfect grounding mat. The image and sentiment are from Tea for Two, stamped in Hawaiian Shores and Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko). The roses are made from Sweet Blush and Hibiscus Burst. The pearls were colored with Copics to pull in the delicious butterscotch color of the teacup. Border punch is
Fiskars.

Hope you like!

Got your number! PTI June Bloghop Colrs

I figured I'd best post this before the laptop goes to the shop for a check-up. Have been having some serious issues lately. I give up! Time for the professionals to bail me out.

This little guy is for one of the Paper Craft challenges, to use pages from the phone book. It is also a favorite color of PTI papers.

My grandson's birthday is soon so I decided to make his card using this KLM clown stamp. He was colored with Copic markers. Classic Numbers from SU is the 5 stamped on the background and the sentiment. The 5s in all the phone numbers are highlighted. Cardstock and ribbon are PTI,(Terra Cotta, Enchanted Evening, and Summer Sunrise). Sentiment was computer generated and punched with SU punches.

Moxie Fab Stamping Olympics

Recognize this fella? The first time I saw this stamp I had to have it. You see, my alter ego is Mrs. Claus! I took one look at this image and saw my DH. The Stamping Olympics gave me the opportunity to use it again. I love to make my own background papers with stamping and sponging so I took full advantage.
Kraft is stamped with various snowflakes from SU sets, in PTI Fresh Snow and Brilliance Platinum. The green stock was stamped with the pine bough from SU Pines. I sponged some Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy to give it a little texture and glisten.
I touched the eye

highlight and the

snowflakes with

a gel glitter pen.

His eyes actually twinkle, like the real

thing.

There is one more post. Stay tuned!

Santa Collage stamp from Rubber Stampede.

Yellow challenge 2

Another new challenge! How will I keep up?
This is the latest over at Poppy Paperie.

I love the freedom to create with her "seeds". I hope this will qualify as I didn't use a floral image exactly. I took the opportunity to try the pompom flowers I saw on Dawn McVey's blog. She has a great tutorial on You Tube. I can see the potential here. This was a fun one, also to be used in the Olympics over at Moxie Fab World.


The flowers are made from the tissue form my PTI order, stamped in yellow with the Polka dot background set. It was punched with the SU Boho flower punch.


Hope you enjoy!

Another Challenge

Have you gotten the impression that I am doing nothing but stamping this vacation? It's true! Stamping and the Olympics - complete therapy!
Here are a couple of shots of the card for Cards and Things #20.
The close up is of the layers on the mum embellishment from the card. This is an image from KLM Digital Designs. Mums have to be one of my favorite flowers. This one is sized a little smaller than the one I use here. That is the beauty of digital images, you can resize them for your needs. It is colored with Copic markers.



Papers: PTI: Scarlet Jewel, Ripe Avocado, SpringMoss, White

Stamps/ Images: KLM Digital Design; PTI: First Fruits, Green Thumb

Accessories: Copic markers, Scallop punch, Sakura glitter pen, gold ball accents (Michael's)

Multiple challenges

This card is for the CC258 plus kritter challenge at SCS; CPS#154 ; and the Copic Challenge to custom color your embellishments. I'm still not sure about these colors together. I would never have used them, but that's what challenges are all about, right?

The image is from KLM Digital Designs. In the second photo you can see it has been cut and layered three times. It was colored with Copic markers.

Mojo

Finally got a chance to finish this card.

Thought I would make one that I could use for my granddaughter's birthday this weekend. This is the sketch from Mojo Monday 126. There is a large recipe as I used several sets and colors.

Paper: SU Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red,Pink Pirouette, DS, Whisper White

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Bashful Blue, Rose Red, Black marker Stamps: SU Think Happy Thoughts, Bugs and Kisses; PTI-Baby Button Bits Accessories: Organdy ribbon, scallop punch, paper piercer, buttons(PTI), glitter I sure hope the layout of this entry looks better once it's published. It's pretty bad on the screen right now! Stay tuned for another challenge in a little bit.

PTI Contest

What a perfect combination. Mid-winter vacation from school, a PTI release and contest, AND the Winter Olympics. This is a perfect storm kind of week! I couldn't wait to do this contest. It sounded like such fun and I will do some more of these cute sheets to send to some stamping friends that I haven't seen in a while. What a great idea!  As for the PTI release. . . well, let's just say some spending plans are going to change!

 

 

 

 

                                         I chose to use the Mum image from KLM Digital Designs as my focal point. I  printed it 3 times so I could layer it for added dimension. It is colored with Copics. The cardstock is PTI's  Lemon Tart and Ripe Avocado. I used a sentiment from  PTI's Floral Frenzy.    Leaves from First Fruits (PTI) were stamped in Versa on the green for added depth.  The ribbon and button are also from PTI.

  

 

 

 

                                      

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

                                                                                                                                                                                         I made three flowers for the embellishment sheet. Two are layered with dimensionals. there is a PTI ribbon and button. Some Dew Drops and a few gold jewels to top it off. I can't wait to send this off to my friend. 

Fall Wreath

Hello there. Hope all is well with everyone! Sorry to have been absent so long but this is life when school is in session. Everything else is eclipsed now and the system wants more. Blood from a stone . . . it's a good thing technology is taking over, because there won't be any teachers out there.

Decided to play this weekend to relieve a little stress and managed to get 3 cards put together. The first is for Thanksgiving. I used one of my designs at KLM digital designs for the wreath. Layers were cut with Nestibilities and papers are scraps from my growing stash. I colored the wreath with Copics. It also has the colors in the latest challenge at 2Red Bananas . Chec it out! Hope you enjoy. I'll post the others later.

Digital Tuesday's Challenge

Here is my simple card for the Digital Tuesday's challenge.

The digital image is from KLM Digital Designs. I used PTI white paper to print the image twice. It was colored with Copics, cut and the pumpkins were popped up. DSP is SU as is the cardstock.

Designing Women Challenge 2

Here it is. Pam issued a masculine card challenge. My son will be having a birthday soon so this is great timing. I used SU papers Ruby red texture,  Black, So Saffron and Whisper White. On the base I stamped the retired flannel plaid background. Cheers to You is the stamp set. I used an acrylic block to reverse the image. It worked pretty good. The beer head has some liquid applique on it for dimension. The word on the angle is the Gaelic   toast.   Inside I printed a traditional toast for a bachelor. OOPs!  Looks like I was the one that emptied this pint. Sorry for the crooked picture.            

PTI Blog Hop
