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.

Fall Coffee Card Lovers Blog Hop

Today is the last day of the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and I'm squeezing in a card at the last minute.

I used the new PTI set called Twig Wreath. It was fun playing around with colors and on a couple of the leaves I used the rock-n-roll technique.

I die cut the coffee cups and popped them up dimensionals and then I spritzed some Early Espresso and Tangerine Tango using my spritzer tool and markers.

Finally I colored over all the leaves with Wink of Stella but I just couldn't get a good picture of that. You can see just a hint of sparkle in this picture.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my coffee card!!
