PTI October Create Along With Us

PTI has released so much cute stuff the last couple of months. This time of year is always so busy but I had time today to sit down and play. I've also recently started acquiring and playing with Distress Oxide inks.  So I thought I would play along with the PTI's challenge today.

Here is the card that I copied.

And here is my card.

It is pretty straight forward except for the oval frame. That is where I used the distress oxides. It is pretty pale and I really wish that I had some micro glaze to go over it so that the colors would pop. Well that is now in an Amazon order.  I also cut an additional oval in Kraft to go underneath and support the top oval because the paper was warped.

Edited: I just today got some Ranger Micro Glaze and so I dabbed some on my finger and rubbed it on the pierced oval. I think that the colors of the distressed oxides are brighter now.

Supplies:

Stamps: Winter Fox, Text & Texture: Wood Slices

Paper: White, Kraft, Honey Nut

Ink: Dark Chocolate, Cocoa Bean, Honey Nut, Fresh Snow (fox's face)

Dies: Winter Fox; Pierced Feature Frames: Oval; (PTI) Stitched Rectangles (mft)

Other: Distress Oxides (Spiced Marmalade, Old Paper, Squeezed Lemonade); foam tape under fox

PTI Create Along With Us

I have been inspired by all the PTI design team projects for this month's release. I needed to make a thank you card for a friend of mine and really liked this card by Heather and so am playing along with Create With Us this month.  Here is my card.

In place of the gourds I used leaves from the Leaf Prints set.  I have been playing around with alcohol inks and had a few of my trial pieces on my table so I cut them out and then embossed the leaf veins with gold embossing powder.  The orange leaf also has a bit of gold foil on it.

I die cut "friend" three times and adhered with glue and then used Nuvo gloss drops to dot the i.

Here's a close up.

That's it. Thanks for stopping by.
