Felicitations

I'm playing along with the Embellish color challenge.



This card is going to a friend who received some fabulous news recently. (Felicitation means congratulations).



My card uses the Fabulous Frame die from PTI. I stamped the pram from Bitty Baby Blessings onto Enchanted Evening patterned paper and again onto the white cardstock. The French sentiment is from Global Greetings: French (also PTI), as this is going to a French friend! Also, the background was stamped with the Newsprint background set.

Thanks for coming by!

You did it!

Back today with another card for PTI's anniversary festivities! My card is based from Sketch #1.



The pretty papers come from Pink Paislee's Nantucket line. I stamped an image from Year of Flowers Collection in the oval, and the sentiment is from Enjoy the Ride.

Thanks for looking!

Paint by Numbers Challenge

Happy Monday! We made it out of our house today despite the snow--which was quite necessary as we ran out of diapers! Another foot or so of snow is headed our way tomorrow, crazy!!

Being at home is rather nice though and I was able to get the time to participate in another PTI anniversary challenge! Today, we were given the sketch and assigned a color combination based on our forum username.





Orange is not a standby color for me, so this was definitely a challenge. I tried several things and ended up with this. I actually really dislike it, but at least it's done!



The card uses several background patterns from Background Basics: Retro. I added little touches with my white gel pen to add uniformity to the card. The sentiment is from Scattered Showers.

Hope you are having a nice day!

Hope you're having a great weekend! I made this card for the Polka Dot Paradise Color Challenge at Embellish , the new on-line magazine by Ashley Cannon Newell.

These colors are very fall, I thought, and I couldn't wait to try out my new Vintage Label set. I colored the tiny gems with my Copic marker, so they could match Scarlet Jewel.



Thanks for coming by!
