Under Pressure

Talk about under pressure LOL! Have you visited Nichole's blog? It is PTI's 3rd anniversary this month and they are celebrating in a BIG way. There are new products being introduced, challenges, and best of all LOTS of prizes to be won! Woohoo!

Here is my card for the 'colour by numbers' challenge along with the colour palette that I had to use. I didn't have all the colours, but fortunately my PTI order arrived yesterday with lots of new goodies to play with ... I was sooo happy when one of my colour choices was kraft! LOL!

Stamps: Baby button bits (PTI), Polka dot basics II

Card: Very vanilla, kraft

Ink: Lemon tart, versamark, kiwi kiss, baja breeze

Accessories: Lemon tart satin ribbon, ocean tides vintage buttons, white gel pen, sponges, glue dots, dimensionals

Embellish Colour Challenge w/ Ribbon

I received my new 'Stampin' Bella' stamps this week WooHoo! and couldn't wait to ink them up. I loved the colours from the Embelish challenge, so I did another card using them. The 'ribbon' flower came from a video tutorial on Youtube (there are quite a few).

Embellish Colour Challenge w/ Ribbon

Just a quick post today .... I will come back later with recipe ....

Happy Birthday

Hi y'all,

Just popping in quickly to share a card with you. My girlfriend turned **** this month, and because she is a papercraft addict, our instructions were to make our birthday cards ourselves (no cards bought from a shop!) ... needless to say, I had to really do something special AND of course I had to use kraft (my favourite neutral), HAD to use polka dots (Sue's favourite). I was very happy with the way this card turned out and was going to use it in this month's PTI Blog Hop (but missed it because of the different time zones LOL! maybe next month). You will have to excuse my fingers in some of the photos, acetate is quite difficult to photograph.



You might not be able to see, but I stamped the flowers in versamark on the front, inside and back.

Stamps: Friends til the end (PTI), Birthday basics (PTI), Trademarks (PTI)

Card: Kraft (of course), basic black

Ink: Black stazon, versamark

Accessories: Swiss dot black ribbon (PTI), black brads, Kaiser rhinestones
