Six more cards....

I made another six cards this afternoon for today's challenge at Papertrey Ink, which is to create a project using one of the colour schemes that Nichole posted on her blog.

Well, I have to admit that out of all of the crafty challenges there are, my least favourite are the colour ones. I'm not sure if it's because I prefer to start with patterned paper when I craft or not, but I always find the colour challenges, well, challenging and I don't always like the end result.

So, I decided that for today's challenge, I would combine challenges with the colour challenges in the hopes of having more success.

For my first card, I used or Sketch 153 from Got Sketch?, along with Colour Scheme No. 1 from Nichole's blog:

I used some Crate Paper patterned paper and chipboard, along with some Papertrey Ink vintage cream cardstock and a sentiment from Wreath from all Seasons.

For the rest of my cards, I let myself be inspired by the PTI design team and created cards based on some of their favourites for the Day One challenge at Papertrey Ink. For this next card, I was inspired by Ashley's card (first card in the second column)...

... and I used Colour Scheme No. 2:

I used PTI cardstock (white, new leaf, enchanted evening), Happy Day stamps and dies and some PTI buttons. The ribbon was a gift from Hanne, an online friend.

For this next card, I was inspired by Dawn's card (third card in the first column)...

... and Colour Scheme No. 3:

I decided to use my PTI Chevron Stripes stamp set, along with a sentiment from Boy Basics: Game On. I added a Pink Paislee mistable star that I inked with Blueberry Sky. (I really wasn't happy with how this one turned out, but Sage said it was fine.)

Once again, I was inspired by one of Ashley's cards (second card in the first column)...

... as well as Colour Scheme No. 4:

I liked how Ashley had stamped the top flowers from The Sweet Life on patterned paper on her card, so I decided to do the same, but used The Sweet Life for the focal image, too. The sentiment is a Think Big Favourites stamp. The patterned paper I used is My Mind's Eye.

For my fifth card, I was inspired by another one of Dawn's cards (card in the column)...

... as well as Colour Scheme No. 5:

I loved how Dawn had stamped on her tag, raised some elements and stamped on the patterned paper behind her tag as well. I decided to do the same, but once again using The Sweet Life, Tag Sale #7 and TBF #12 (this is my favourite card from today!)

And lastly, I was inspired by Heather's first card in the first column...

... and Colour Scheme No. 6:

I love Heather's stamped images on the front of her card, but when I was digging through my scraps, I found this Crate Paper favourite of mine and decided to make my card using the same design as Heather's with the ribbon and sentiment near the bottom.

Thanks for looking!
