Make It Monday #152 Layering Dye and Pigment Inks

This is a fun technique for Make it Monday. You can see it here:

Make-it-Monday-152

I just love the results! I stamped first with PTI chevron background stamp set with fresh snow ink and then used the new stamp set from PTI- Leave it Be with some SU inks I have (Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, and Calypso Coral).  I added little dots with the PTI- Polka Dots Basic II. And finally for the sentiment,  I used the new PTI - Keep It Simple Birthday set, embossed in white EP, and cut out with the banner basics dies (PTI). I love seeing the subtle chevron though the leaves. So fun!

My Favorite Things Card Sketch 162 - 2nd try

I hope it is okay for me to post another card for MFT's Sketch challenge. I LOVE this sketch! I really enjoy the gold trend that is so popular right now. I found this shinny gold paper at Michaels and I knew I had to use it behind the MFT Polka Dot Cover Up Bkg. I know I changed the Sketch just a little and I hope you like it.

Other supplies (all MFT unless noted): Happy Hellos, Fishtail dies, Pierced circle dies, SU card stock, SU gold sequins.

Papertrey Ink 7th Birthday

Okay, so I have to tell you a story.....I made this card and when I was all done I just felt like I had seen it before, that it really looked familiar to me. So I looked on the PTI gallery and found that it looks JUST like Jessica Witty's card from June 2012.

I guess her card really stuck in my head and I do love it!  Hope you like my version!

My Favorite Things Card Sketch 162

I adore these doodle stamps! They scream to be colored in! I hope some day MFT comes out with a basic set with - Happy Birthday, Thank you, Hello, etc in this style. I would be over the moon! Here is the orginial sketch (new favorite sketch)!

It is hard to see in the photo but I colored in the words with my new wink of stella glitter markers. So the saying is all glittery and fun! 

Other Supplies (all MFT unless noted): fish tail flags die, pierced circle dies, polka dot bkg, sunny day doodles, doodle bug enamel dots, unknown 6x6 pattern paper packs.

Stenciled Class #5

Okay one last card, I have learned a lot and I have more ideas rolling around in my head. I used Wendy Vecchi's silver embossing paste (so shiny). I love the silver chevron paper, I found it at Michaels. Have a great night! Other supplies- Flower and vine from MFT, Thank you stamp and die from PTI)

Stenciled Class #4

I have to try for a better photo tomorrow when we have some sunshine in Iowa. This card has way more shine and so much texture in person. I used Wendy Vecchi Gold Embossing paste.  I have collected so many stencils and I am finally using them. This class has been so much fun!

Stenciled Card Class #3

I am in love with this stencil from Crafter's Workshop - Echoes! I love it! I used versa mark ink though the stencil, embossed and sponged on color with 3 SU inks (Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, & Calypso Coral). Other supplies - SU coral ribbon, Verve Stamp, PTI Fillable Frame Die #11
