MAKE IT MONDAY #227: FOCAL CLUSTERS

Hello,

I had a chance to make a card for this week's MIM over at Papertrey Ink. I really liked this technique and think it is definitely something I will do again.

Here is my card:

I used my PTI Clipsters stamp set for this card. There are lots of cute little stamps in this set which I thought was perfect for this style. I got some ink on the left side so I added a strip of the Comic Strip patterned paper to cover it up!

Thanks for visiting!

PTI Create Along With Us - October

Hello!

It has been several months since I have made a card or updated my blog. To be honest, life had just gotten really busy and it didn't leave much time for crafting.

I loved several projects from the latest release which inspired to me to make a card for a friend's upcoming baby shower,

 I loved this card by Nichole Heady. I ordered both these stamps and dies as well the new Vintage Jadeite  ink....I can't wait for them to arrive!

I used a similar layout for my card:

I used PTI's Tremendous Treats-Birthday to stamp the cute elephant that I colored with my Copics. The sentiment is from Avery Elle. 

Thanks for coming for a visit, I hope to be back again sooner rather than later!

PAPERTREY INK JUNE 2015 BLOG HOP

Hello!

I am playing along with this month's blog hop over at PTI. This month we were given a cute photo from which to draw our inspiration, here it is:

I went with a pretty literal interpretation:

I started by cutting some strips of white and Smokey Shadow and adhering them to my cardbase. Then, I used my PTI Ruby Rose stamps and dies for the flowers. I heat embossed the cream colored flowers with some clear embossing powder and used some holographic embossing powder on the orange flower. The small sentiment is from Words of Comfort and then I finished it off by adding a decorative gem and enamel dot to the center of the flowers.

Thanks for visiting!

Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop

Hello,

Today is PTI's May blog hop! We were given an inspiration photo this month...here it is:

I was inspired by the cascading rainbow of blocks so I decided to pull out a few tiny stamps and stamp a quick background in a rainbow of colors. Here it is:

I used a couple small stamps from my PTI Songbirds and Ruby Rose sets. Next, I added a Songbird which I heat embossed with some clear embossing powder. I finished it off with some diecut leaves and a simple sentiment. 

That's all from me today! Have a wonderful day!
