PTI 9th Anniversary - Saturday Snail Mail

The last challenge I am completing today is a thank you card for the warehouse staff at PTI.  I can just imagine how busy they are after the 15th of the month as that is release day.  When I get my order, which is always right, it puts a huge smile on my face.  So hopefully my little card will do the same.


I wish you could see in the picture the shine on my little oval as I covered it in wink of stella.

Supplies:

PTI
Make it Market - Garden Gild for Happiness stamp, Ruby Reprise- thank you stamp and Make it Market kit - Lovely Laurel for the little sequin flowers
Ombre stripes background paper
Wink of Stella pen

Thank you for stopping by today.

This challenge was a very big challenge for me as it usually takes me more than 5 minutes to gather supplies.  Then my eye caught on a Make it Market kit and I knew I was set.

This card is for my best friends birthday next week.  She just loves flowers and birds so I thought this was appropriate.

PTI Anniversary paper crafting alphabet challenge

For this challenge you could either use four letters from your first or last name.  There was also an option to use all letters but my last name is a bit long for that.
I had to use:
W - watercoloring
A - add a border
L - lean sentiment on an angle
K - kraft cardstock

Here is my card


I learned a few things about the zig water color pens that I will use next time.  Like get the paper a bit wet first......but I still like the outcome.

Supplies:

PTI
Bold Blossoms coloring sheets
Stamps - Plaid builder from Make it Market a la carte and Keep it simple Birthday II
Ink - Classic kraft, Summer sunrise and Royal velvet
Kraft cardstock

PTI's 9th anniversary continued

This is the last day to work on challenges over at PTI.  I have written down a bunch of the challenges as I have a few cards that I need to make so that I can get them out in the mail on Tuesday.  I always plan on getting my cards done in advance but it never works out that way.
This challenge is the Color pop fortune teller.  I remember making these when we were in grade school but for the life of me can't remember what we wrote inside.  I will have to ask one of my girlfriends.

My colors were raspberry fizz, berry sorbet and royal velvet.  I had to add a leaf color for my flowers so choose spring moss.
Here is my card


Supplies (all are PTI)

Ombre stripes paper for background
Fall Florals stamps/dies
Ink - Berry sorbet, Royal velvet and Spring Moss

I will be back later with more :)

PTI's 9th anniversary

PTI has a multitude of challenges, new product peeks and just bunches of un going on from the 5th until the 15th of this month.  You can find the fun here PTI.
For their color challenge I chose one of the lighter combinations to color this simple sympathy card.
I masked off the flowers and colored the background with the classic kraft ink.  After removing the mask I put some of the ink to color the flowers and leaves on  my craft sheet and used a Brushstix by Imagine to color in my image.


Supplies
PTI Bold Blossoms coloring sheets & cardstock (berry sorbet)
Ink- Classic kraft, Aqua mist, Berry sorbet & Lemon tart
Jillian Vance design - Sympathy stamp
And stamp inside the card is PTI tucked in sympathy by Raspberry Suite
Masking fluid
