The Challenge #83 -- Guest Designer

Note: This is my second post for today.

Scroll down to see my Inspired By All The Little Things post

or click here.

I'm very excited to be guest designing for The Challenge today!

I was inspired by the colours (white, red and that fun blue!), the red & white stripes

and the pretty ornaments on the tree.

I decided to use some of my Reverse Confetti products to make my card.

I created a stencil using the Vintage Ornaments Confetti Cuts and blended ink 

onto my card front, using Delicata Silver Ink and Reverse Confetti Brick ink.

I stamped the hangers in Delicata Silver ink.

I stamped the "Merry Christmas" stamp from Vintage Ornaments

onto its coordinating Confetti Cuts.

I added twine as well as a piece of patterned paper from the

Very Merry 6x6 paper pad to finish it off.

Be sure to check out The Challenge and see what the DT

came up with using the inspiration photo,

and to play along, if you'd like.

The Challenge #81

Today, I have a card to share that I made using some of

my favourite Reverse Confetti  products &

The Challenge #81 -- A Colour Challenge:

Here's my card:

I started by blending Iced Aqua Ink onto my background in the shape of a circle

and then going it over again with the same ink, using the Lotsa Dots Stencil.

Over this, I layered a Lacy Scallop Circles Confetti Cuts over top.

I stamped my Blooms 'n Buds flowers and leaves in Iced Aqua Ink, RC Aqua Ink,

Brick Ink & Delicata Golden Glitz ink onto Blooms 'n Buds Confetti Cuts.

I stamped my sentiment from Walk By Faith and matted my card on Iced Aqua Cardstock.

PTI's Create Along With Us: April 2016 & The Challenge #68

Today, I have a card to share that I made for this month's Create Along With Us at Papertrey Ink.

I was inspired by this card by Betsy Veldman:

I was also inspired to use this week's colour challenge at The Challenge #68:

Here's my card:

I started by inking the side of my panel with Harvest Gold ink and my blending tool.

I inked up my Songbirds leaves stamp with Altenew Forest Glades ink and spritzed it

with water before stamping it on my card.

I stamped the sentiment (from PTI's Inspired: Lord), in Tropical Teal ink.

I stamped the flowers (from Graceful Greetings) and the butterfly

from the Masterpiece kit using the same technique as the leaves.

I coloured in the butterfly using a paintbrush, water and ink pressed onto my acrylic block.

The Challenge #65

Today, I  have a card to share that I made for The Challenge #65:

I was inspired by the flowers on top of the pile of books

and decided to ink up my new Ellen Hutson Mondo Hydrangea stamp set.

  

I started by diecutting the hydrangea and solitary bloom from

white cardstock and stamping them in berry sorbet ink.

Then, using my MISTI, I stamped again in versamark and

heat embossed them in clear.

With a paint brush, water and some ink pressed onto my acrylic block,

I painted them in.

The sentiment is also from Mondo Hydrangea.

For my pot, I diecut some Bazzill Basics silver foil using

my Reverse Confetti Basket Confetti Cuts, but I decided it was too shiny.

So I pressed it into versafine onyx black ink and heat embossed it in clear.

It turned out pretty cool.

Thanks for looking!

The Challenge #64

Today, I have a card to share that I made for The Challenge #64:

I love this colour combo and was inspired by the photo

to make a baby card.

I stamped on my card front and onto the coordinating diecuts

using my PTI Wee Folk mini kit.

I'm also linking this up to this week's

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Cute & Cuddly.

The Challenge #63 & Make It Monday #242

Today, Jonah, Sage & I are off to a Black Belt Development Day in Miami.

Miami, Manitoba, that is. ;)

But before we go, I wanted to share the card that I made for The Challenge #63:

I love this fun sketch!

I decided to use my PTI Life is Beautiful butterflies to make my card.

I started by stamping my watercolour paper background with PTI's Text Style stamp set

in versamark and heat embossing it in white.

Then, using my watercolours, I inked up my panel.

I stamped the sentiment from Winter Woods.

I diecut my butterflies and stamped them with their coordinating stamp.

I started with the lightest colour of ink and used my MISTI to restamp it several times,

adding more ink (& eventually a darker shade) each time with a sponge.

This is for this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink: Sponge Stamping.

I used Altenew's Soft Lilac & Lavender Fields, PTI's Sweet Blush & Berry Sorbet

and Altenew's Buttercream & Mango Smoothie inks.

The Challenge #62 & CAS(E) This Sketch #162 -- Take Two

Today, I have a card to share for The Challenge #62:

I also decided to use CAS(E) This Sketch #162 designed by N@ Ali:

I love the large map on the wall in the inspiration photo!

I immediately thought of using my Reverse Confetti Globe to make my card:

I started with some patterned paper from my stash, and from it, diecut a circle.

I trimmed my panel to 3.25" wide and impressed the bottom of it using 

the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts, which I then trimmed along the bottom, using

the impressed lines as a guide.

It's hard to see the impressed lines in the photo, so I didn't brighten this one as much.

I diecut the Globe Confetti Cuts from the flat side of a piece of Bazzill Basics Bling cardstock.

The sentiments are from With Love and A Friend Like You --

I love how they combine so perfectly together!

 

 

Oh, and don't forget to check back tomorrow because....

The Challenge #61

I'm popping in before church to share the card that I made this morning

for a friend of mine.

I was inspired by this photo from The Challenge #61:

Isn't it pretty?

I was inspired by the woodgrain texture, the colours and the flowers.

I decided to use my new Wplus9 Happy Wishes stamp set.

I blended some ink onto my Simon Says Stamp woodgrain cardstock.

I stamped the Happy Wishes flowers and leaves onto white and soft stone diecuts,

where I heat embossed the white flowers onto the soft stone diecuts.

 

I stamped the sentiment (from PTI's KIS: Belated Birthday)

onto a PTI Keep It Simple Frame diecut.

The Challenge #59 & PTI February Newsletter Colour Play

I posted this earlier, but now my post seems to have disappeared.... strange...

 So, I have a card that I made for both The Challenge #59:

...as well as the colour combo that was in the PTI February Newsletter:

Isn't it gorgeous?

Here's my card:

I stamped the PTI Bloomers flowers in lovely lady & berry sorbet,

sweet blush & melon berry and aqua mist & ocean tides, onto two panels, which

I adhered together using dimensional adhesive, as well as onto their coordinating diecuts.

I stamped the gold centres using Delicata Golden Glitz ink.

The sentiment (also from Bloomers) was stamped in versafine onyx black.
