Sketched Shapes & cQc185

I got some new PTI toys yesterday and so had to play today.  Here's a card for the colourQ challenge.

I cased a card by Maile Belles.  The circles are stamped in Concord Crush, Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo.  I tried to find some enamel dots in a color close to Poppy Parade. The main panel is popped up on dimensionals. Thanks for looking!

Have you ever taken your pictures, posted to your blog and then when you look at the picture you wish  you had done something differently?  Well I think I wish I had made the smaller reddish enamel dot black.  In my mind that would look better.  Oh well. It is what it is.


SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Sketched Shapes and Stylish Sentiments: Birthday (PTI)
Paper: White
Ink: Concord Crush, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Black (SU)
Accessories: Enamel dots (My Mind's Eye), dimensionals


Edited:  WAHOO!  I'm a colourQ courtier for this card!

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!

2nd Halloween Card Today

Amazing!  I got a 2nd card made and I didn't even case anyone. It is for 2 more challenges.  Retrosketches RS#34 and the colourQ challenge cQc#160.  OK, here's the card.

This time I used the smaller pocket stamp from Wplus9 A Pocketful.  I must have given my Kiwi Kiss to one of my daughter's so I used Lucky Limeade instead. The cute little spiders jumping out of the pocket are from the Pocketful: Halloween set.  I used my Sakura Stardust gelly roll pen on the spiders to give them some added pizzazz.  From there this card turned into one of those where you tinker and tinker until you finally like it.  I just kept adding little strips of paper and I think that I like the result. The black strip on the right is from the SU's Neutrals DSP pack, then comes a strip of Tangerine Tango. On the left I die cut the scallops from Rich Razzleberry DSP, then there's a strip of black and finally a strip of Lucky Limeade. I tied some Baker's twine around and added a tag which is a PTI die cut from the Tiny Tags set and the Boo sentiment is from the SU Tiny Tags set.  

Closeup - Can you see the spidery shimmer?

 

Now check out the inside. 

The sentiment and little spider webs are from the MFT set Primitive Pumpkins.
