Pals Paper Arts Challenge #50 Using CPS 174 Sketch

Pals Paper Arts Challenge #50 was to use the colors So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Basic Gray. I did not have So Saffron, so I used Crushed Curry Instead :). I used the CPS 174 sketch for this card.



I used some Chocolate Chip Designer paper from SU and mounted it on Basic Gray Card Base. I used the sentiment from SU Think Happy Thoughts set stamped in Crushed Curry and Mounted on some crushed curry paper. I colored a white prima color using Copics and added it to the card as well. I kind of like how this card turned out.

Here are the Color Challenge and sketch,




Supplies:
Stamp - SU Think Happy Thoughts
Paper - SU Basic Grey, chocolate chip, white and crushed curry CS, SU Chocolate Chip Designer Paper
Ink - SU Crushed Curry, Copics

Unscripted Sketch #63 and Guest Designer

I was quite excited when I was chosen to be the Guest Designer for Unscripted Sketches. Please visit Unscripted sketches to play along with the sketch.

Here is my card,



As soon as I got the sketch from Sarah, I knew I wanted to use the Big and Bold Wishes set from PTI. The panel was perfectly made to hold a sentiment. :) I used a combination of red and black on my card inspired by the BG Patterned Paper. I used some Pearl Smooch Ink and accented the black mat for the sentiment. I also put some smooch ink on the butterflies. I had fun creating this card. Hoping to see some of you create something with the sketch.

Here is the sketch,



Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Big and Bold Wishes
Paper - PTI Vintage White, Pure Poppy and Black CS, BG Patterned Paper
Ink - Memento Lady Bug, PTI Dark Chocolate
Other - Smooch Pearl Ink, SU Red Ribbon, MS butterfly punch, Red Rhinestones, SU 1" Circle Punch.

Framed Art Swap

I wanted to share this framed art that I created for my friend Jen's swap for Framed Art on SCS.

I used the butterfly images from PTI Butterfly dreams stamped on Rustic White CS. Inked the edges with Chai Inking Cube and then just arranged them on SU Soft Suede CS. I added some bling and pearls to give it some jazz. I kept it simple and loved how it turned out. I used a 5x7 frame for this. This particular frame has a depth kind of giving it a shadow box look.



Here is a closeup of the image,



Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Butterfly Wishes
Paper - PTI Rustic White, SU Soft Suede
Ink - Memento Bamboo leaves, Ranger DI Spiced Marmalade, PTI Dark chocolate
Other - Rhinestones and Pearl Embellishments

PTI July SWAP - Regular Card Category

I wanted to share this card that I did for the July PTI Swap on SCS hosted by my friend Amy.

I was inspired by Lisa Johnson's card shown here.

I chose different color combination for my background and chose to put my sentiment differently, but overall this card was inspired by Lisa's card.



I stamped the Large Diamond pattern from the Little Argyle set using Vivid Red Ink (from GKD). I stamped the large dotted line over it using Memento Black. Then I used the smaller single diamond shape in Memento Pear Tart. This Pear Tart is a really neat color, I love how it looks with red.

Then I mounted this background CS on black and added some gingham ribbon with button.

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
All Supplies are PTI Unless otherwise mentioned
Stamp - Little Argyle, Chair-ished
Paper - Kraft, True Black, Vintage Cream CS
Ink - Memento Black, Memento Pear Tart and Vivid Red
Other - Black gingham ribbon, white vintage buttons, rustic twine
