I don't really have kid images, so I pulled out PTI Balloons & Banners to make a card for a 10 yr old boy which is also my entry for the
PTI Challenge to create a card with a repeating element in ROYGBIV or monochromatic.
I made a mini slimline using my MISTI to stamp the balloons in Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, Bright Buttercup, New Leaf, Blueberry Sky, Amethyst Allure & Dark Indigo. I added the strings with a black pen & the highlights with a white gel pen. The card front is Dark Indigo cardstock & the sentiment cut twice from a white scrap is Poppystamps Happy Birthday Poe Script. I'm also entering
Snippets Playground.
I couldn't get my idea to work for the
PTI Challenge to create a card using your favorite cover plate. I switched gears still using the same die cuts plus a few & ended up with a card I love!
The cover plate is Herringbone, the flowers & leaves are from Into the Blooms II & the flag is from Tag Sale: Quilted. This is my entry for the
PTI Challenge to use a cover plate. I brushed Pale Peony on the tips of the blooms & Vintage Jadeite on the leaves. The card front was splattered with Gansai Tambi gold watercolor. I used the paint in my brush to add gold to the blooms & leaves.
The shimmer & shine is gorgeous in person! The gold embossed sentiment is from The Craft's Meow & I added Kaiser Scrapbook Chino pearls that go great with the kraft cardstock.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
