Make It Monday #233 Splatters

Papertrey Ink MIM Challenge

I love splatters, I can remember

"splatter painting" as a kid, we

used an old toothbrush and rubbed

our thumbs over the bristles.

Now that I''ve grown up, I use a 

paint brush! ;)

I have two brothers-in-law with
birthdays in December so made these
masculine cards and added the splatters.

These are regular A2 cards, not sure
why the picture is distorted!

Supplies:

PTI Sketched Shapes & Balloon Bash sets

Ranger DI in these colors:

Chipped Sapphire, Hickory Smoke

Ground Espresso & Stormy Sky

SSS Black ink

MIM #201 Texture Paste & Stencils

So the Make it Monday Challenge

this week is to use a cover plate die

to make a stencil and then use 

texture paste through the stencil.

I only own one cover plate so

had to use this one to take 

part in the challenge.

I used Ranger Texture Paste

on top of a textured card stock.

I was surprised at how good this technique

worked with this intricate of a die cut.

I used the same die to cut the frame from

some old patterned paper.

I covered the paste with Rock Candy Stickles

when it was completely dry.  Also added some

coordinating jewels.

PTI Day 7 Foils and Neutrals

I'm just beginning to use

foils on my cards after seeing

Jennifer McGuire use some the

other day. I love how it looks so

I was glad to see today's challenge

from PTI which you can find HERE.

*EDITED*
And here is my card that actually 
fits the neutral challenge!

I used foil tape for the strips, silver embossed

the banner from Sketched Shapes and then

used StazOn to stamp the sentiment from

Bigger Blooms. Lots of sequins to finish it off.*

I used the foil but missed the part

about using a neutral so after posting

this, I am going back to the drawing 

board to make a card that actually fits

the challenge--haha! Unless blue is 

considered a neutral!

Here you can see the shine of 

the foil and the embossing.

I put VersaMark Ink

gently onto this PTI birthday coverplate die.

I ran it through my Big Shot using a silicone

embossing pad, added Platinum EP from

Ranger and was pleased with the results.

I also added VersaMark around the edges

of the image and dipped it into more EP

before layering it onto the card front.

When its all said and done, I have

a card for my SIL whose bday is 

coming up in week or so. 

PTI Day 5 Spring Into Action Challenge

Papertrey Ink's 8th Anniversary 

celebration continues with a challenge

to use a stamp set that is new or has

been used very little. 

I love this stamp

but it was bigger than I expected.

(When does THAT ever happen?!)

I guess the name should have been a 

dead giveaway--Think Big Favorites #24!

Anyway, the stamp steals the show

on the front of a card!

I embossed the sentiment, water-colored over it,

added some black splatters and then

finished it with some twine and gems.

That's all folks!

PTI-Build a Bouquet Challenge

I am so enjoying these challenges

from PTI's 8th Anniversary Celebration!

The 4th challenge is to build a

bouquet. I've always had an interest

in floral design so this is a fun way

to make that happen on paper!

I used Bigger Blooms stamps and dies

and Sketched Shapes stamps. Love 

both of these sets! Again, I added

Wink of Stella to the flowers and 

finished the card off with some sequins.

The color is a little washed out, may

have to take another picture in daylight 

tomorrow!

PTI Day 3- Bagged & Tagged

Happy 8th Anniversary to PTI!

Here is another challenge from

their celebration. We were to make a

matching Bag & Tag. My "bag" is

about as small as my tag, but good

things come  in small packages, right?!

I used Balloon Bash stamps and die

to create the tag.  The bag is a Silhouette file.

Had to add Wink of Stella to the stars & balloons.

PTI Challenge #2

     

Our second challenge for PTI's

8th Anniversary celebration is to go to

Maile Balles' blog and use something she

has made for our inspiration.

I chose this card:

I used Balloon Bash for the string and

tiny flower and Bigger Blooms for 

the sentiment. I love how she uses

the space down the side and raises

the panel up for dimension.

Here are my takes on her card:

I like hers 10Xbetter!!!

PTI 8th Anniversary Day #1 Color/Sketch Challenge

Papertrey Ink is celebrating and having several

challenges. I chose this sketch and 

color scheme for my card:

I'm lovin' my PTI stamps! I used Bigger Blooms

stamps and dies and Sketched Shapes for the

sentiments and banner. Enamel dots are by

Recollections and Wink of Stella on the flower.

PTI Make it Monday #200 Challenge

I've been AWOL for almost 4 months!

How can that be? I have been creating,

 just haven't been posting. 

So I'm jumping in on this challenge 

at PTI to layer cover plates die cuts. 

MIM #200

I made a background with rainbow colors, 

die cut the three ballons and inlaid solid

colored balloons, adding white gel pen patterns.

Some Wink of Stella on them, of course!

Next I cut three cover plate dies in gray,

black and green and layered them on my card. 

More Wink of Stella on the green layer.

The last step was adding the sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

PTI Diamond Wallpaper Stamping

Make It Monday #174 at PTI included

a video showing how to do this

Diamond Wallpaper Stamping technique.

 

Since the only

PTI stamp I have that would

work wasn't very long, I choose to

make my wallpaper section 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".

 

I used the dotted line from Balloon Bash.

The heart, sentiment, and bow are also

from this set.
