PTI blog hop - touch of gold

Man oh man, did this card ever give me trouble!   I was inspired by Japanese chiyogami paper and wanted to create something like it.  At first I wanted to use Mini blooms, but that was more gold than I wanted.  Then I had trouble arranging the flowers 'just so'.  It's still not quite how I envisioned it, but I finally gave up.  

I found the perfect floral in an unlikely place - Strawberry patch set!  I embossed the outline large flower in gold and filled in with copic, embossed the solid small flower in clear, and stamped the large solid flower in versamark and white.  I added white dots with a pen, and some sparkly accents to the clusters.

I couldn't find a nice match for the sentiment so I stamped once in Berry sorbet, and overtop in Wet cement.

Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Supplies; Stamps - Strawberry patch, Mini blooms (sentiment), Paper - Sweet blush, white, Other - Gold embossing powder, clear embossing powder, white gel pen, silver gel pen.

And this for my second :





I don't normally do separate posts, but this one took some muscle, so I thought it deserved it.  :)  After stamping the flowers I needed something for the white space, and I found the perfect 'dot cluster' in the Strawberry patch set.

Supplies; Stamps - Mini blooms, Bountiful banners, Strawberry patch (PTI), Paper - white, Other - Bountiful banners dies.

I chose this colour combo:





And here's my card:

I resisted adding more blooms around.  It was hard!  Instead I added some silver glitter to the middle of the flowers.

This year's Christmas card

I knew I wanted to use In the Meadow, and white shimmer cardstock. And ofcourse it had to be flat/maileable. 

The drift was created by using a glue pen overtop of a diecut and then glitter.  At first I tried a few different colour combos -
blue and pink didn't seem right

traditional red and green was off too -

So I went with neutrals -

The tree was stamped in Shabby shutters, the child in sled in Crumb cake.   The white snowflakes show up when you move the card.

Supplies; stamps - In the Meadow, paper - white shimmer, other - glitter, glue pen.

PTI blog hop - Melon dahlias

The minute I saw the challange photo, I was drawn to the floral pillow.  Although this is such an awesome photo, I've already got two other ideas for future cards!




And here's my card -

A one layer copic card.  The details got washed out a little when I edited the lighting, so here's an unedited version.

I embossed the dahlias is white, then coloured in with R00, R02, R20, YG91 and LOTS of blender pen.  The sentiment is one of my all times most used - from Giga guidelines.

Supplies; Stamps - Delightful dahlias, Giga guidelines (sentiment), Paper - white, Other - copics, white embossing powder.
