PTI and watercolor

This mornings post brought back sweet memories as my mother was an artist who loved to water color. To keep me out of her paints I had my own set. She loved to paint me I like to make messes. So I stamped the peonies and the went in and water colored in some shades. I am very happy with the results.

It's a PTI Color Challenge today

 

It's a color challenge from PTI with a little Subway style sentiment.   This is one of my favorite stamp sets from PTI and I love the giraffe in pink.   This card will be going out soon.

Another one done PTI sketch challenge

I don't remember the number of this sketch but it works great with the PTI die frame here. A little twine and authentique paper and it is set to go. Valentines or wedding.

Ohhhhh another PTI sketch challenge

Love the 5 new sketch sp I broke out the supplies as I I'm need of a couple of thank yous. Plenty of PTI goodies to play with but always wanting .

Paper trey ink March blog challenge

I was so excited to see the color challenge this month on Paper trey ink.   I LOVE aqua right now and yellow is so bright and springy.  So I started off with a baby card for a friend who is expecting a boy.   Used the little elephant stamp and put it on the Dots and Stripes Echo Park.   Cute as the card is in person I could NOT get a good photo of it.   So I just thought I wouldn't play along this month.

Sunday afternoon I thought I have an hour.   I ALWAYS need a birthday card.   I HAVEN'T played with one of those movers and shaper die cuts yet so.   I have the other half of that cute big polka dot paper.   So here is the card that came about.   Of course I added twine from the shop to it and it is perfect to pull the tag out that on the inside has Frame 1 with the birthday saying.   I am LOVING the new die cuts.   The centers of the pretty little flowers have stickles.

Thanks for checking it out.   And as always if you are in need of twine let me know.

Zip goes my heart....

Oh I am so bad.   I didn't add twine to one of these cards.   But the other one has a touch of twine.   Some of you may be aware that I do design work for http://www.scrapbookdoodle.com/ and Yvonne asked if I would use the Bo Bunny Crush link and Echo Park Truly Yours paper line.   So I made a few cards and a couple of layouts.  Great paper for Valentines Day but that day is past and I still have paper so wedding cards and love cards it is.

Also I bought a FANTASTICALLY fun little die cut that has a zip on it. Paper trey ink rocks the die cuts you will find them here http://papertreyink.com/  I was so hooked on this die cut once I saw it and had to make a wedding card out of it for next weekend.   Tucked behind the red card stock is the gift card.   I started the zip pull just in case the couple is confused and I wanted to show it off too.   Enjoy!!!

The second card has just a spot of twine on the bird cage which is a stamped image and is the Bo Bunny stamp that goes with the paper.   Again both paper lines have been used.   Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to the Leap Around the World Blog Hop

Did you leap here?   I hope so.   Wasn't Andrea's sketch and card fantastic?  Feeling creative after that leap?   I hope so again.  I love my sketch I received to play with and here it is the sketch that is mine to play with.   By now you might know all of the rules but if not they will be explained later in this post.

 

Here is the card that I made with that sketch. It is 2-9-12, Leap28  I plan on doing 3 more cards so please stop back by my plan is one for each season.   Here is winter.

Yes I took some liberty's on the sketch but I  do love it.  It is a sketch.  The materials for this card came from the Winter Wonderland kit from Scrapbookdoodle.com, A snowflake embossing folder, and The stamps are from Papertrey ink and of course the twine from talkingtwineandtrim.   My twine shop.
