Papertrey Ink 11th Anniversary- Day 8 (Color Challenge)

The 8th day of Papertrey Ink's 11th Anniversary festivities is all about Color Combinations based on the Design Team's posted projects. Our challenge is to choose one of the color palette recipes provided on their blog post here. This is the “recipe” I chose, inspired by Laurie Schmidlin. 

One of the Bold Blossoms Watercolor Sheets and my Zig Brushes needed some love. Hence, another birthday card was born. For those colors that didn’t quite match up with my Zigs, I used ink pads swiped on an acrylic block, misted and then painted with a brush. The sentiment was stacked three deep, and then I coated it with Glossy Accents to make it shine. This is it.

Thank you for stopping by, and I really do appreciate your comments!

PTI Make It Monday #271: 2016 A La Carte

Nichole refreshed our memories of every 2016 Make It Monday Challenge by Papertrey Ink. The A La Carte means we can choose any one of the weekly technique videos to create a project. You can see the technique I chose, Make It Monday #244: Score Lines, done by Laurie Willison. This is a great way to add a little extra detail and texture. I apologize that it was difficult to photograph at night showing the various lengths of vertical score lines from the top to the Bold Blossoms. Here's what I created:

PTI MIM #260: From Black and White To Color

Danielle shared her tips and tricks for stamping a black and white background, cutting off a border or die-cutting the center of the image. What's left of the main image is then colored using something like Copics or Zigs. That colored piece is then popped up and aligned with the strip or placed back in the die-cut opening. You can watch her video here on Nichole's blog. She showed two great examples: one cut vertically on the left and the other an oval die cut from the center. Here's my take for this week's Make It Monday Challenge at Papertrey Ink.

Hope all the women out there had a Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for any comments left on my blog. I apologize for not getting around to commenting on yours yet. My DH and I have been working on replacing steps to our deck, and yes, he's still recovering from his shoulder surgery just 10 weeks ago. Have a fabulous week!
