PTI MIM #279: Curved Sentiments

Well, my company is gone and so I hit my stamping room. This week's Make It Monday Challenge for Papertrey Ink is spearheaded by Ashley. She shared a video showing how she curves a straight sentiment to fit around a stamped image or on a die-cut.  Her wedding card is just delightful and so colorful. I came up with a Thinking of You card shown below, which I often need at the ready. 

My Mat Stack #3 die-cut is backed with white foam to pop it up, and on the top portion I used an Ink Blending Tool with Blueberry Sky ink. The center bouquet is popped up using SU Dimensionals and the other two adhered directly to the Mat Stack die-cut. The stems are tucked behind the "almost" Scarlet Jewel Glitter Paper from Joann's. To add to the Kraft layer adhered to the Stamper's Select White card base, I splattered watered-down white acrylic paint. That's all for now, and I'm looking forward to seeing what others have created for this challenge. Thanks for the reminder, Ashley, as I often forget to curve my sentiments.

PTI Create Along With Us Challenge: July 2016

When PTI's release week coincides with Make It Monday, we get to choose a designer's project that inspires us. Details for the challenge can be found on Nichole's blog. There are always so many fabulous creations it's challenging to decide which one I want to recreate. This month my inspiration is this one by Betsy Veldman. Not only do I like the layout, but the bold colors speak to me.

Of course, Betsy used newly-released products, which I don't have, but I came up with dies and stamps that I thought would work improvising. Without further ado, here's my version. 

Ink blended a "happy" die-cut from Pretty Peonies using Summer Sunrise and Orange Zest inks on a piece of acetate, water and paintbrush. Definitely think reinkers would be the answer to get brighter colors. The bottom portion of my Mat Stack #3 die is Tropical Teal blended ink. The watercoloring behind the focal image is Tropical Teal, Enchanted Evening, Summer Sunrise and Orange Zest over white heat-embossed stars from Scene It: Celebration. Added Enchanted Evening sponged stars, white stars edged & colored with Gelly Roll Stardust Pen - all die-cut from Scene It: Celebration. The white crochet thread took the place of Betsy's Paper Clippings swirls. "Birthday!" from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday was stamped with Enchanted Evening. Some SU Dimensionals gave the added dimension necessary.

And here's my third take using twine on a card ~ this time wrapped around one part of the card for PTI's December 2013 Blog Hop.

The patterned paper determined what other colors of cardstock to use for this design. It's pretty basic.
