PTI Make It Monday #129: White Crayon Resist

Since I bought a new box of crayons just for Heather Nichol's crayon resist technique for PTI's Make It Monday, I had to force myself to stay up late just to create this card. Had company all week so this was my only chance to get in my stamping room.

It's difficult to see where I used my white crayon outlining the flower centers and leaf veins, but they did resist my dauber of Harvest Gold ink on white cardstock. This is popped up on dimensionals over a Hawaiian Shores Nestabilities circle. The Simply Chartreuse leaves are tucked behind my sentiment, which is raised up with dimensionals. I love the color combination, and the card is growing on me.

PTI Make It Monday #128: Stamping Random Background Patterns

No surprises here! It's Sunday night once again, and I'm squeezing this entry into Papertrey Ink's MIM before the deadline early tomorrow morning. Ashley Newell showed us how to use any color combination and individual stamps to randomly stamp creating our own background. Well, I did just that but kept mine to one layer ~ clean and simple, easy peasy!

Cardstock: Rustic White

Ink: Simply Chartreuse, Harvest Gold, SU Pumpkin Pie, SU Baroque Burgundy & SU Chocolate Chip

Stamps: Think Big Favorites #6 & Beautiful Butterflies

Other: SU Chocolate Chip Marker & sequins

PTI Make It Monday #127: Double Backgrounds

It's only Friday, and I'm posting my latest creation for this week's Make It Monday.  Dawn McVey inspired us to create a really fun and interesting double background using two different stamps. This was certainly a different challenge out of my comfort zone, but it's healthy to attempt those once in a while. Here's my "wishing you a very happy birthday" card using Crackled and Background Basics: Chevron Stripes for my double background:

PTI July 2013 Blog Hop (Card #4)

While my DH was painting the exterior of our house, I spent much-needed time in my stamping room. That explains why I've been on a roll lately because I'm way behind on thank-you cards. My card uses another of Nichole's Fruits of Summer Color Inspiration from July's Blog Hop.

My "Thank You for your Kindness" card was created by stamping several flowers in the colors above to design my own background paper. I cut it in two pieces and adhered them to my card base using foam mounting tape. Once again I had to use some color substitutes. 

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White

Ink: SU Pumpkin Pie, SU Summer Sun, SU Regal Rose, SU Baroque Burgundy & SU Groovy Guava

Stamps: Beautiful Blooms II, Iconic Images

Other: Linen/Canvas Impression Plate, glitter, SU Baroque Burgundy marker, Glossy Accents & foam mounting tape

PTI July 2013 Blog Hop (Card #3)

Just had to try another one of Nichole's Fruits of Summer Color Inspiration for July's Blog Hop. I had to substitute because I don't have all of PTI's inks and cardstock…yet.

Summer brings lots of social events so I'm due to send some more thank-you notes. Hence, this card came to life. 

Supplies: (all PTI unless noted)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White

Ink: SU Pink Passion, SU Regal Rose & SU Green Galore
