Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop

I'm sneaking in at the last minute today to share a card 

that I made for today's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

 

 This month's challenge was to use this photo as inspiration:

Isn't it pretty? 

It's so perfect for spring and for Easter.

I loved the pretty flowers on the background of the grey wall.

Here's my card:

I stamped the main lined image from Fresh Bouquet in versamark and heat embossed it 

in white on bristol board.

I coloured them in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolours.

I diecut them using its coordinating die and adhered it to a grey cardstock panel.

I stamped my sentiment (from Stamp Market) onto my background in versamark,

which I heat embossed in white.

Inspired By All the Little Things #81

Today, I have a card to share for 

Inspired By All the Little Things #81:

I was inspired by the white flowers with green stems in glass bottles,

as well as the old script lettering on the bottles.

I decided to use my Essentials by Ellen Mondo Hydrangea stamp set to make my card:

I stamped my flowers and leaf onto their coordinating diecuts in Altenew

Evergreen and Moon Rock inks and stamped them a second time in versamark, so I could

heat emboss them in clear.

I repeated this process with the glass jar from Lawn Fawn's Summertime Charm.

I coloured them in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours.

 I stamped my sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp's Big Scripty Sentiments) in Altenew Evergreen ink and added a strip of patterned paper, onto which I blended some lime green ink.

Pin-Sights, Colour Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches

It's the long weekend here and I've had some time to spend in my craft area,

which has been really nice!

I've decided that one way I can make the most of my time would be to

make a few cards using the same stamp set, while I have it out.

So, I decided to use my Ellen Hutson Mondo Hydrangea stamp set

to make two cards.

The first one is for the February Pin-Sights Challenge:

And for Freshly Made Sketches #324:

Here's my card:

I stamped the image in Altenew Turquoise ink and then a second time, using

my MISTI in versamark, so I could heat emboss it in clear.

I coloured it in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours.

I adhered it over two strips of cardstock using dimensional adhesive and 

stamped my sentiment (from PTI's Songbirds) in Altenew Evening Grey.

And I made my second card using Colour Throwdown #480:

Here's my card:

With some masking, I stamped the leaves in Papertrey Ink New Leaf ink and 

then a second time, using my MISTI in versamark, so I could heat emboss it in clear.

I repeated these steps with the flowers, using Altenew Deep Iris.

I coloured everything in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours.

I stamped my Concord & 9th Barnboard Background on a strip of watercolour paper

in Altenew Evening Grey and stamped my sentiment (from PTI's KIS: Sympathy)

on a strip of grey cardstock and heat embossed it in white.

MFT 2018 Creative Olympics

I had some time to craft this afternoon and was looking

for some challenges by which to be inspired.

I found the MFT Creative Olympics and decided to play

along with two of their challenges.

I made this first card for the first event: Stamping Slalom,

where we needed to use three different stamp sets on one card.

I also used the current MFT Wednesday Sketch 372:

and the current MFT Colour Challenge 87:

Here's my card:

I used MFT's Beautiful Butterflies, the accompanying sentiment set

and the leaves from the Grateful set.

I also played along with the fourth event: Speed Cardmaking:

I used the same sets and made this card in 13:29 seconds.

Inspired By All the Little Things #80

Inspired By All the Little Things #80:

I was inspired by the woodgrain background, the colours and the pretty peonies.

I decided to use my Wplus9 Modern Peonies stamp set to make my card,

as well as the current Fusion Card Challenge sketch:

Here's my card:

I stamped my flowers onto their coordinating diecuts in versamark and 

heat embossed them in gold.

I coloured them in using my Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours and layered them over a piece

of woodgrain patterned paper that I had in my stash.

in versamark and heat embossed it in gold.

CAS(E) This Sketch #259

Today, I have a card to share that I made for

 CAS(E) This Sketch #259 designed by Donna Mikasa:

I was also inspired by this photo to make my card:

Here's my card:

I blended Altenew Mountain Mist, Buttercream and Cotton Candy ink onto two panels

and then stamped over them with two different sized circles with white ink.

(It's hard to see in the photo, but it shimmers a little in the light.)

I stamped the ferris wheel from PTI's County Fair in the same colours,

as well as Evening Grey.

I edict the "wishing" using SSS's wishing die and stamped the sentiment

from the coordinating stamp set.
