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

Zip clean color real brush - violet, light violet and deep green

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

Simon Says Monday challenge

Dinner is done and cleaned up.  Company has gone home so I thought while I was waiting for the dishwasher to finish I would make another card.  I have this really cute die from SSS that I have not tried yet so wanted to break that out with a stamp set from PTI.  I have to say I really love how this turned out even though it was a little more challenging with the masking that I decided to do with the little deer.
Here is my card





I used the stick it product behind the die but want to put a little multi medium matte behind a few places that I see not quite down the way I want.

Supplies:
Simon Says stamp die - Merry Christmas
Papertrey Ink - Tinsel & tags stamps, Winter woods paper and ink colors are fine linen, hawaiian shores and tropical teal

Thanks for stopping by!

It was so nice that this challenge ran for 2 weeks and as usual I waited until almost the last minute to create!  Here is a link to the challenge as there is still time to enter Simon says and enter you should.  The prize is a gift cert to Simon Says online store.  Ok who doesn't like shopping there lets be honest.

Without further ado here is my entry






I bought these moose stamps when they were released and this is the first time I have used them.  I learned a lesson however which is the PTI paper I used for the background doesn't like Copic markers very much.  There was quite a bit of bleeding but I thought it added to the charm.

Supplies:

Unity -
Itty bitty's - (moose)ing you, Happy Kiss-Moose and A(moose)ing holiday
Avery Elle - Wonky stitches Die (found here) wonky stitches
Papertrey Ink - Tinsel and Tags paper
