PTI MIM #328: Creating Shadow Backgrounds

This week it's Laurie Schmidlin's turn to host Make It Monday for Papertrey Ink. Details can be found here. She told us "it's a super easy technique" that she loves. Well, I didn't have a lot of time to ponder what stamps to use as I'm leaving town tomorrow for a week and didn't want to miss out on participating. Let's just say I'm not thrilled with my first one but do like the second one better. Why is it all the stamps I own never seem to fit the challenges presented? Anyone else feel that way? On with my cards. (I'm packed and ready to go so thought I'd try a totally different version of a "shadow" background using Americana ink for my third card.)

PTI MIM #319: Graffiti Word Art

Lexi Daly was this week's host for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. She challenged us to create die-cut word art inspired by street art, and you can find details here. Graffiti artists are very talented…just wish they'd use these talents in more useful ways rather than making their marks on other's property. Lexi made it look so easy and shared some great examples of her graffiti art. It was a bit challenging for me to decide on what supplies to use, but here's what I completed.
