Papertrey Ink's MIM Challenge #241: Ombre Stenciled Background

Hi, there.  Today's project was created for Papertrey's Make it Monday.  Betsy created a beautiful stenciled ombre background and has challenged us to do the same.  Don't forget to stop by and check out her tutorial.

I used Tim Holtz distress inks and a layering stencil to create my background.

PTI's scene it and love lives here dies were used to create the center of my card.  I really wanted to add a few sequins but I was out!

Papertrey's MIM #240 Watercolor Resist

Hi, there! I hope everyone is having a great week.  I wanted to share a quick project with you today that I made for Papertrey's Make it Monday.  Lexi has challenged us to create a watercolor project using rubber cement as a resist.  I can honestly say, I never would have come up with this idea...Lexi was definitely thinking outside of the box!

Let's get started.

I started off by painting my watercolor paper yellow.  After drying, I applied a few swirls of the rubber cement.  Once the rubber cement dried, I water colored everything in green, waited for the paint to dry, and then removed the rubber cement to show those little pops of yellow.

I went back in with my paintbrush and added a few spots of green here and there .  The sentiment was embossed using Papertrey's Happy Hexagon stamp set.

Papertrey's Saturday Snail Mail Challenge

Hi, again!  I am so glad the weekend is finally here...how about you?

I have a quick project to share with you today.  Papertrey asked us to create a thank you card for their warehouse staff in honor of their new  #saturdaysnailmail campaign.  Isn't that the neatest challenge?  

I absolutely love the idea.  

 

I used PTI's Stacked Statements stamps and dies to create my card.  I love how feminine this set is.

I had a difficult time getting the lighting right but I do so love this card in person.  I hope the recipient enjoys it, as well!

Papertrey's Sampler Square Challenge

Hi, there. I'm dropping in for a quick post.  I created a project for Papertrey Ink's Sampler Square Challenge.  I must admit, this is probably my least favorite challenge...I have never had much flair for designing cards like this so it was definitely a challenge for me.  I decided to keep it extremely simple and pull out my nostalgic notions button stamps and dies.

valentine ombre...

Hi, there!  Today's post is for Papertrey's Make it Monday.  I am excited to play along as Melissa Phillips is the host of this week's challenge.  She has provided us with a wonderful tutorial on how to create an ombre valentine project.  Isn't her card beautiful?  Simple yet elegant...I love it!

Here are a few takes on this week's challenge:

I stamped confetti toss in sweet blush, lovely lady, and hibiscus burst and created an ombre heart border using watercolors.  

I used the same ombre technique on the diecut word and polished it off with a little red felt heart, sequin, and sweet blush ribbon.

Third up is a tag created using various shades of pink.  

My final project wasn't created with the ombre technique in mind but I thought this little Valentine jar topper fit well with the other projects.

Thanks for stopping by!
