Unexpected Colors

A new day - a new challenge!
Today I saw that the blog "Simplicity" host a one layer challenge using unexpected colors - from what I understood it is an ongoing thing with a new challenge every wednesday. But I have to admit - I didnt read it carefully through. Just thought "YEAH - I am going to participate in that" - you can participate too - just look here

I decided to make a dreamy card of a summer tree in unexpected colors. I love those colors mixed together.



Maybe the photo is not the best - it does seem a bit unclear/blured...Sorry about that!

My supplies are:
Cardstock: PTI Vintage Cream
Ink: PTI Hibiscus Burst, VersaColor 38 Sky Blue, PTI Enchanted Evening
Stamps: PTI Through the Trees, PTI Sentiment Everyday Button Bits

Its a wonderful world

Hi to you!

Today I was reminded that the world is wonderful and it can end to soon!
Remember to charish every day and those amongst you....

I am sharing a card I made using Hero Arts and PTI stamps. The small pink flowers are embossed and the peacock image is distressed a lot. I like how the card turned out, what do you think? There is no sentiment - because I didn't have any sentiment stamp suitable for the card's purpose.

My supplies for this card is:
Stamps: Hero Arts Peacock, PTI Text Style, PTI Out on a limb
Cardstock: PTI Vintage Cream
Ink: PTI Raspberry Fizz, VersaColor Brown 54, PTI Tea Dye Duo
Embossing powder: Filigree Clear
Other: Small Perls

Cardstock: PTI Kraft
Pattern Paper: PTI Guide Lines Patterned Paper Collection (6" x 6") and for the ballones I snatched some flowers from PTI Pattern Paper Beautiful Blooms.
Ribbon: PTI Saddle Stitch Ribbon Plum Pudding

Other: EK Success transparent plastic stickers ... no idea what they are called.

Live your bliss

HI to everyone reading this blog post :)

I have decided to share a card with you today - I have made quite a few lately and the one I am sharing today is made specifically for my dad who loves old stamps (no not stamps for papercrafting ... stamps for letters). I like to think of the stories old stamps have with them - just imagien them travelling around the world on ships and trains while carrying important messages of love, life and politics.

So I have tried to make him a birthday card which captures a sense of stamps and travelling.

The print inside the card is Happy Birthday.





Supplies:
Cardstock: Cream standard card, brownish Bazill paper
Stamps: Hero arts Branch Background, PTI Text style I, Sentiment from PTI Mega Mixed Messages
Ink Versamark watermark, Hero arts shadow ink soft sand, VersaColor red
Pattern Paper: Grafic45 Communique

Christmas in July

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the waaaaay.

I saw that Jill posted a christmas card challenge on her blog Anjillic Creations - and the challenge is to make a christmas card. You can play along too - just check out the challenge here.

I want to participate because lately I have been thinking about what to do with christmas cards this year. So this card was sort of a kick-starter and making this card made me realize that I definitely need to buy some christmas stamps once I get home from vacation. Because I only have Holiday Wishes from PTI...I am not really quick at making a card, so if I need to make christmas cards I have to start early!

Thanks for posting the challenge Jill - it was fun to play along. Although the true christmas spirit was hard to find without christmas cookies and candles (just dont have any cookies in the house and burning candles in this heat would be crazy!!). But I enjoyed making the card on my balcony in the nice summer weather.

Here is my card:




And here are my supplies:
Pattern paper from My Mind's Eye - LUSH collection, red medium polka dot / stribe paper and from same collection Red Damask Paper.
Ink - from VersaColor Onxy black and Red Satin
Stamps - frame from PTI Fillable frames and PTI sentiment from Holiday wishes

I used cork for the frame, and used a standard cream card.

Volá - Merry Christmas.

Aspiring to Creativity's 1st Glimmer Challenge!

Well I am tempted to start off by writing: Oh time does go fast ...
It seems I have not been able to upload any cards on my blog as I promised to myself in last entry. Anyway :)

I saw that Aspiring to Creativity had a challenge - and I thought: I want to play along before my vacation starts on Wednesday.

It was quite funny to make this card, and it incorporates 6 different colors. I was quite surprised to see that I had all six colors in my supplies ... :)

Here is my card for this challenge:
