PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 2

Time for the second week of Win It Wednesday where Laurie shares her favorite card stock colors. Surprise, surprise! She used Pure Poppy and Aqua Mist and created the same card design twice, using each color. Beautifully done, Laurie!

It truly is difficult to choose one or even two favorite PTI card stock colors because I like them all. First colors that came to mind for me (at least today) are Amethyst Allure and New Leaf.  It's almost the end of February and time for my DH's aunt to celebrate her 101st birthday. She was widowed many years ago, still lives independently and is an amazing woman. Hope she likes the heart and added bling!

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

PTI Create Along With Us: April 2016

This month's release at Papertrey Ink was fabulous and so we're all the projects done by the Design Team showcasing these goodies. Several of these beauties are shown on Nichole Heady's blog. Which one do I choose as my inspiration? This time I went with one of Kay's from her Release In Review post.Trust me when I say you can't replicate anything Kay does because she is one awesome crafty lady, but I gave it my best shot anyway. She used butterflies, and I used feathers with watercoloring, smooshing and splattering. Oops, forgot to add sequins! Will do next time. 😀

After stamping the largest feather using VersaFine Onyx ink, I heat embossed with clear powder. The smaller two feathers are stamped in Harvest Gold and Summer Sunrise with black Sharpie lines and Wink of Stella Shimmer. Since sympathy cards can be so challenging when needed, I like to have a few in my stash. This is one more at the ready.
