More PTI Layering Inks for Make it Monday

Here's another card I made for this week's challenge at Papertrey Ink.  I used white pigment ink with a swirly stamp in the background, then layered different green dye inks for the leaves and brown dye ink for the tree trunk.

Thanks!

Papertrey Ink Make it Monday: Layering Pigment & Dye Inks

I'm a bit late posting this even though I made the cards like on Tuesday this week...oh well, life goes on, right.  Anyway, Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday this week is all about layering pigment and dye inks to make for some great results.  On this card, I first laid down some zigzag stripes in creamy pigment ink, then used various dye inks in pinks and purples for the flowers, and a touch of green on the leaves.

Thanks for looking!

Papertrey Anniversary Continues: The Word Challenge

Today's challenge from Papertrey Ink is to use a large word as a focal point on a card.  I made a card, and I found a couple "word" cards I submitted into a magazine a few months ago, but they were never chosen and I never posted them on the blog.

Here's one of my cards for the word challenge:

 Hello to you!

Papertrey Ink Anniversary Day 4

Papertrey Ink is continue the celebration with yet another challenge.  Today's challenge is all about trading cards.  PTI is beginning to release a new monthly series called Monthly Moments, and I am very excited to see what's in store!  The challenge is to make a trading card using at least one PTI product.  This was a great challenge, and I think I found my true calling.  I am not a scrapbooker AT ALL, but I think I can handle this trading card thing!  So, I made 7 of them today...yep, you read it right, SEVEN of them!  We had a rough day today...had to put down our 12 year old kitty, Maisy.  My hubs took it VERY hard as it was his cat before we married.  So, I decided a day of crafting was just what I needed.

Here's the first one I made:

YOU are fabulous!

Papertrey Ink...One More Window Screen Card Attempt

I tried my hand at one more window screen card for the Make it Monday challenge at Papertrey Ink.  I'm so excited because Papertrey Ink is celebrating 7 years of being one of the best stamp/die/etc. online companies this month.  I think I check the PTI website DAILY, and enjoy seeing all of the great ideas from the PTI designers.  Anyway, back to my window screen card.  I found this cool card with heart cut out in a package of buttons I bought at Target in the dollar bins.  It was the backer paper for the buttons with a clear plastic case thing (great wording here!) encasing it and the buttons.  I flipped it over so the label isn't showing, and voila...a perfect window for my card!  I went bold and used Berry Sorbet ink and cardstock with Limeade Ice ink and cardstock along with the kraft heart window. 

Have a wonderful day!
