Get Well Card

Morning all.  It's Friday!! Yeah.  Hope you have some crafty plans for the weekend.  I have a quick get well card to share with you.

This is a CAS card that I like because of the boldness. The color is bright and the image makes me think of my mom.  And who doesn't want their mom when they are feeling under the weather?

The soup cans are from a PTI set called Comfort Food which was designed by Lexi Daly.  It was stamped in Amuse ink Wheat.  The sentiment is stamped in Versafine black and comes from PTI Think Big #10.

Water Color Wonder

Today I have some cards to share that are made from the newly release PTI Watercolor Wonder.  I have fallen in love with this set!  You can make one layer cards that pack a lot of punch.

This weekend I needed Thank You cards for the band teachers so I whipped these up in our school colors.  I used Amuse Ink.  The above card has Winter Sky and Blueberry stamped twice.  Below is Winter Sky, Blueberry and Navy.  I think I like the effect of the top card the best. 

In the next card I was going for an abstract sunrise.  

I wasn't happy with the way the orange color stamped.  I felt like I smeared it so I decided to embellish the mistake away.

I created a three layer vellum butterfly adorned with rhinestones.

Monograms

Good Morning.  Today I am participating in the PaperTrey Ink Blog Hop which is all about Monograms.  I chose to make an anniversary card for a friend to give to his wife.

I decided to give the card some elegance by embossing the background with sparkle embossing powder in a damask print.  I used 1/8 scor-tape to add glitter to the top and bottom.

I added the pink mulberry spring roll  paper cinched in the middle to look like a bow.  I think the card ending up being reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe.

This next picture is of the inside but the colors turned out horrible in the editing.  The card base is a light grey that I stamped with A.muse Seattle ink on the large damask.  The sentiments are Versafine black.  The bottom is a piece of card stock that matched the mulberry paper cut with  PTI edger die 1.  I decided to  covered it with more glitter because glitter is the gift that keeps on giving - LOL.

I am happy with how this turned out.  I struggled a bit with the monogram theme.  I think it is easier to monogram a piece of decor rather than a card. 

Finding the bling letter is what really turned this one around.  Once I saw it my head started running with ideas.  And to think it was only $.35!  I really should go back and get more.  These would make pretty wedding cards.  Oh and sweet birthday party invites for my not so little girl...I see a diamonds are a girls best friend theme in the future!!

PTI Boutique Accessory Challenge

Hi there.  Today I am showcasing some home made goodies my daughter and I made to give to her "besties".  We made earring sets from buttons and shiny embellishments.  The blue set was made in her school color and has a matching bobby pin.

We placed them on the die cut cards that were decorated with PTI Button Boutique.

PTI Favorite Project 1

Today's card inspiration comes from Maile Belles favorite projects.  I like her clean, simple style.  It is my favorite look but one that I find hard to achieve.  I always want to add one more thing :)

I especially like the lines of this one but I didn't have a stamp to use so I improvised.  I used my score-pal to make lines in some velum.

It's hard to see in the picture, but I added a touch of sparkle to the apple with a gel pen.
