WPLUS9 - Monday Mood Board #15

Here's a birthday card for a friend using MMB15 as the basis.   I was trying for the antique vase look in an animal print.  I just got my WPLUS9 order a few days ago and I think that Fresh Cut Florals will be well used.

Happy Canada Day Weekend!   I'm am so grateful to live in this wonderful country.  (Just wished there was a warm tropical island somewhere that belonged to Canada). 

My pink dogwood in the background is almost done, but it's been in bloom for about a month now and I've really enjoyed looking out the den window - through all the rain - at the lovely pink flowers.

The sun is out today - my 3 year old grandson said " I don't see any clouds today. I think they're on holidays."

Here's a closeup of the vase.  



Supplies:
Cardstock:  PTI White, Black and Fine Linen
Stamps: WPLUS9- Fresh Cut Florals, Stampendous - Simply Safari, Paper Smooches - Shadows
Dies: PTI - Gracious Vases
Other:  glitter, rhinestones, Crackle Accents, gold embossing powder, Roman Tiles embossing folder.

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes!

Here's a birthday card made from a  Doodlefactory (Rooftop) and PTI Birthday Basics.   I did a bit of coloring with Copics and used tape and glitter for the spotlights. Paper by PTI as well.   Thanks for looking!

Make it Monday #121: Colored Vellum FLowers

 I usually make a card with a specific recipient in mind and find inspiration in who they are.   I didn't have anyone in mind at first, but I thought the cards made using this technique were really beautiful so I decided to give it a try.  And I did think of someone that I want to thank!  I don't know if it's the type of white embossing powder I have or the ink I used, but the ink dyed the white embossing lines, which I didn't like and trashed.   So I tried again and colored the back side instead.   Paper is all from PTI as is the stamp:  Year of the Flowers:  Mums.  The thank you stamp is by Technique Tuesday.  

Make it Monday #110 Collage Elements

 Here's a card for the latest PTI challenge.   I used Mendhi Medallions, Background Basics: Sheet Music and Year of the Flowers: Sweet Peas.   All paper from PTI as well,    Fortunately, my latest order arrived today with the die for the Sweet Pea stamp.   I'm new to Copics coloring, so that was fun to try too.   Another photo taken at night, so the colors aren't quite true.  

Make it Monday #109

Happy Easter,

Here's a card I tried using the watercolor and embossing challenge by Betsy Veldman for PTI.   The paper is from PTI as is the stamp and I used distress inks as I have no reinkers.  I used a clear embossing powder that has some sparkes in them, a bit hard to see with the photo, but nice effect IRL.   I would have liked to have tried again as I had a little smudge on the sentiment and the photo is terrible, but it's a beautiful sunny day and I need to go prune my rosebushes!    

PTI: Make it Monday #98 Chalkboard Technique

I've enjoyed the "chalkboard" look and have tried a few cards now.   Betsy Veldman's tutorial was great!
