CTD 427 & PTI January Blog Hop

Today, I have two cards to share...

The first one is for The Colour Throwdown,

where I've been guest designing for the past two months!

This is my last challenge as a GD for them and I have enjoyed it so much!

Thanks again, Wanda, for asking me to join you!

Here's this week's CTD:

It seems whenever there's a jam jar in an inspiration photo,
I need to pull out my Lawn Fawn Summertime Charm jar and use it on my card.
Here's what I made:

(By the way, I apologize for the poor photos -- I had the hardest time photographing this card!)

Using some masking, I stamped the images from my Altenew Adore You stamp set

Versamark ink and Altenew inks onto watercolour paper and heat embossing them in clear.

I did the same thing with my Lawn Fawn jar.

I coloured the flowers and leaves in using my Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers and a Water Brush.

I made a mask for the jar and blended ink onto it.

I dropped water drops onto it and soaked them up with a tissue.

I stamped the sentiment (also from Adore You) onto a strip of green cardstock
and heat embossed it in white.
On my side panel, I stamped the Concord & 9th Barnwood Background stamp
in aqua on a piece of aqua cardstock.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the DT created
for this week's Colour Throwdown Challenge.

Next, I have a card to share for today's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

Our challenge was to use this beautiful photo as inspiration:

Isn't it pretty?

I love these cookies!

Here's my card:

I stencilled the bottom of my panel using my PTI Woodblock Print stencil.

I diecut my Mat Stack 5 die from black cardstock and heat embossed my sentiment

(from Spring Woods) onto it.

I diecut the bird and branch from Spring Woods and stamped them in 

Altenew Cotton Candy, Ruby Red and Jet Black.

Thanks for looking!
