PTI 9th Anniversary Celebration, MFT Wednesday Sketch & Fusion

Today, I have a couple of cards to share.... for a couple of challenges.

First up is a card that I made for the current Fusion Challenge {Paper Hearts},

where I used the sketch:

I also made it for the Papertrey Ink 9th Anniversary Challenge, Day 1: DT Favourites,

using this colour combination by Kay Miller:

Here's my card:

I stamped my flowers (from Papertrey Ink's Bloomers) onto their coordinating diecuts

in summer sunrise/orange zest & lovely lady (which I substituted for sweet blush)/raspberry fizz.

I stamped the leaves (from Wplus9's Spring Blooms) in limeade ice.

I cut a strip of Crate Paper patterned paper for the side of my card,

on which I stamped my sentiment from KIS: Birthday.

My second card is for Papertrey Ink's Create Along With Us Challenge,

where I was inspired by this card by Kay Miller:

I love how Kay inked part of the word diecut like that -- it's so pretty!

I decided to do the same thing on my card, but on a KIS: Frame instead,

using this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge:

Here's my card:

I  stamped my sentiment, using PTI's Phrases and Praises stamp set.

The flowers (MFT's Fall Florals) were stamped onto coordinating diecuts 

in the colour combos that Maile Belles shared 

on the PTI 9th Anniversary Challenge, Day 1: DT Favourites:

Here's a close up:

I actually diecut the frame three times: once from white cardstock, which I inked with aqua mist

and my blending tool, and twice from aqua mist cardstock, which I stacked together 

to add a little dimension and stability to my frame.

Thanks for looking!
