JUNE 2016 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

                      

I decided that my In Bloom stamp set reminds me of the Jellyfish in this month's blog picture challenge. I also used the same technique that Betsy showcased for this week's Make It Monday for the background and will be posting it  on the MIM challenge too. My flowers were made with PTI reinkers and Tim Holtz watercolor paper. The background is Autumn Rose and Lovely Lady ink all adhered to a Hawaiian Shore card base. Thank your for stopping by. Enjoy this month Papertrey Blog Hop.  ~Angie~

MAY 2016 BLOG HOP CHALLENGE

This challenge was a fun jump start into summer mode! I water colored the popsicles and then recessed them into another piece of watercolor paper so my base was flat to stamp and emboss my sentiment.

I used PTI Soft Shadow ink for the grey sentiment, I wish I'd used a different grey ink with less brown undertones than the SS has.

                  

Supplies~ PTI Summer Sweetness Die, Soft Shadow ink, Headline Alphabet, Make it Market Still Life: Summer, Sparkle & Shine, Tim Holtz watercolor paper, Zig markers and Misti .

Thank you for stopping by~ Have a blessed day.

MAKE IT MONDAY #249:

My husband was very impressed with my money butterfly too!

Supplies~PTI Butterfly cover plate and cardstock, Altenew sentiment, Lawn Fawn alphabet letters.

Make It Monday #244

                                                                   SCORE LINES

This week's Make It Monday is all about adding score lines to your cards. Design Team Laurie Willison demonstrates a couple of fun different ways she adds score lines to her beautiful cards. One if her suggestions was to add random score lines to your card projects. So, since I had just finished making a card with the awesome "Tulip Time" stamp set and filled in the white space with a PTI stencil design I decided to give it a try. I have to say I LOVE the added texture the random score lines gave my card. Definitely a technique I will be trying many more times. I was also trying a new color combination for my tulips, one I had seen out on one of my morning walks. I am enjoying the new Bright Buttercup ink paired with Melon Berry and Terracotta Tile.

Enjoy your day. Thank you for stopping by.    Angie
