Card Concept Challenge #52

It's The Card Concept's 2nd Anniversary and look at this beautiful inspiration photo! 

I used Embroidered Blooms on another card recently and really wanted to use it again. I thought it would be very elegant in the black/gray/vanilla color scheme.  My style is Clean & Simple so I tried to keep doo dads to a minimum :-)

The leaves are slightly popped up on clear, foam dimensionals. The sequins give it some extra pizzaz. 

Check out the rest of the design team and join in the 2nd anniversary fun!

SUPPLIES:

Stamps: Embroidered Blooms (PTI), Off the Grid (SU)

Paper: Very Vanilla (SU)

Ink: Soft Granite (Hero Arts Shadow Ink), Onyx Black (Versafine)

Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop

Today is Papertrey's monthly blog hop. It's also my birthday and I wanted to have some fun in my craft room.  So I made a birthday card for this month's Papertrey Blog Hop :-)  Here are some of the inspiration photos.

        

Embroidered Blooms seemed like an obvious choice of sets to use - I suppose everyone else thinks so too :-)

There is Glossy Accents on the flower centers. I never seem to learn my lesson about being patient and waiting for it to dry. I always manage to put my hand in it so there is a smudge spot but I'm not going to tell you where. 

Have a great day. I plan on eating lots of Costco chocolate cake later today and playing Dominion with family and friends!  

SUPPLIES:

Stamps: Embroidered Blooms (PTI)

Paper: White (PTI)

Ink: Enchanted Evening, Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy (PTI), Versafine Onyx Black

Other: Linen/Canvas Impression Plate (PTI), dimensionals, sequins (Avery Elle)

PTI Contest & ColourQ #176

Hi!  Today's card is another that I made for the Papertrey Ink anniversary contest. It also is this week's ColourQ challenge.  For PTI we are supposed to design a project  based on one of their designer's favorites. I chose a card by Maile Belles.

I didn't have the exact colors for this challenge so improvised with some that were close. I stamped Background Basics: Super Stripes in Tangerine Tango & Kiwi Kiss.  Then I ran the card through the Cuttlebug using the PTI Linen impression plate. The leaves are also stamped in Kiwi. The blossom is Pretty in Pink & Melon Mambo and it is popped up on a dimensional. That's it. Pretty straight forward.

Supplies:

Stamps: Embroidered Blooms, Turning a New Leaf, Background Basics: Super Stripes (PTI)

Paper: PTI White

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss & Chocolate Chip (SU)

Accessories/Tools: Turning a New Leaf die (PTI), Linen Impression Plate (PTI), dimensionals

Edited 2/18:  Wahoo!  I was a ColourQ Courtier with this card!
