SAF 2014 Ancient Rome

This is such a cool technique. I will have to try it again soon! I used a light gray for my 'grout'. I hope you like it! 

Stamp-A-faire Morning Timer Challenge

I love this, PTI gave me the colors and the layout! What could be easier?! Love it! I used Bigger Blooms and the PTI inks from 2nd color recipe. See the post here.

I hope you are having as much fun as we are here in Iowa!

Stamp-A-Faire 2014 Friday Night Meet & Greet

My sweet friend Kriss invited us to her house- about 6 of us. Most of us got her at 5pm so we have been stamping away. I have only completed 2 cards at this point because we have done toooooo much eating and visiting. I LOVE stamping at Kriss's house because she has entire room dedicated to stamping! We all get to stretch out and it allows me to bring too much stampin stuff. We are stamping in West Des Moines, Iowa. Hope you like the card I made! Good night!

Supplies-PTI Make it Market Shaker Kit

Stretch your stamps 2 Day 2

I made this card for a friend that gave me 40 gifts for my 40th birthday! Amazing right!!! I followed Laura Sterckx's idea but used a stencil. I love how Tim's inks blend together to make a new color. I used 3 colors but I think it looks like I used 5. I used a PTI die behind the sentiment instead of thread. 

Supplies: Sentiment is from Hobby Lobby brand unknown, Stencil from MFT, Ink Tim Holtz- Peacock Feathers,  Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Tim Holtz Mini Blending tool, Enamel dots My Minds Eye.

PTI Make it Monday #170: Masking with Die Cuts

I wanted to keep it simple to bring focus to the masking. I want to try this again, I think the technique is really pretty. I masked off the leaves and the frame and then used Tim Holtz Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass to create the background (sky). The flowers are from Ruby Rose, stamped in Hibiscus Burst, and popped up with dimesionals 

Hope you had a great Holiday!

PTI June Blog Hop 2014 #2

This is the photo inspiration for PTI June Blog Hop. I love the colors!

I also used the 2nd sketch, but changed it up a little. I used watercolor paints to make the base of the flowers, and added the circle scribble dies over the top. I have to admit, I am kinda addicted to the watercolor trend. I hope you like it!
