PTI SAF 2015: More Patterns and Runway Inspiration Challenges

Just had to use Dawn McVey's Go-To-Card Pattern #4 for the Patterns Challenge and also her Runway Inspiration for a thank you card as I continue working on more cards for PTI's SAF.

My watercolored background on Stamper's Select White card stock was created using Simply Chartreuse ink smeared on an old CD case spritzed with water. Dawn's card was so beautiful I wanted to create something similar using the color palette above. 

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White and Simply Chartreuse

Ink: Scarlet Jewel, Pure Poppy, Raspberry Fizz, Ripe Avocado and Simply Chartreuse

Stamps: Mum's The Word

Dies: Mum's The Word and Edgers Die #1

Other: CD case spritzed with water for watercolored background and SU Dimensionals

PTI MIM #218: Watercolors With Die Cut Stencils

After having a very busy week, I didn't think I'd get a chance to play along with Lexi's challenge here on Nichole's blog to watercolor with die-cut stencils. So, here I am late Sunday night with a finished card and rushing to get this posted so I can go to bed. Without further ado, here it is.

Since I don't have an artistic bone in my body, my watercoloring leaves a lot to be desired…but it's fun to try. I also "need" those labels Lexi used for removable masking. Think a die-cut that isn't quite so intricate would also make it easier. I'll try this again when I have more time.
