Copic Colour Challenge #29 meets TECC Sketch #80

I used TECC Sketch #80 for the Copic Color Challenge #29. The colors this time also matched with the Pottery Barn Catalog that had baskets and oranges/greens in it.

Here is my card. I used the PTI Vintage Picnic set as the basket in the Pottery Barn catalog reminded me of this set. I did not have the exact colors mentioned in the copic color challenge and I used the nearest ones for the brown and orange. I did use the Spanish Olive color,

I used the PTI Polka Dot Basics II set and stamped directly on the Kraft CS. Then I adhered the PTI Bitty Boxes DP (This is my fav DP). A bow with button completed the card.

NOTE - Sorry for the blurry picture. Will try to get a better picture tomorrow in daylight.

Here is the TECC Sketch #80,

PTI July Blog Hop - with catalog inspired colors



PTI July blog hop was twist on text integrated into our projects. I started out with creating a card with crayon resist background using PTI Background Basics - Text and Garden of life. I kind of liked that effect as well. But when I saw my finished card, I realized that I had glued on the text portion upside down. It might not make a difference, but some how I was not happy with it. So, I had to create another card. Here is my card for the blog hop.



Here is a closeup of the flowers - I cut them out with cuttlebug, stamped with the PTI Background basics - text and then crumpled them a bit for a vintage look and added a New Leaf button in the center.



Here is the catalog that inspired the colors of the birdhouse,



And the copics I used for the birdhouse,



I decided to add my first attempt as well...even thought the text is facing upside down. I some how liked this card. I used glossy card stock and first stamped the PTI Background basics - text in stazon black ink. Once that dried, I stamped the flower from PTI Garden of Life. Then I colored it with crayon and dabbed Berry Sorbet ink all over the card stock. I added a simple ribbon, sentiment and some flowers that I did the same treatment as the first card, cut with cuttlebug and stamped with PTI Background Basics - Text.



Sorry for the long winded post and thanks for stopping by. :)

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Background Basics Text, PTI Garden of life, PTI Bird Watching
Paper - PTI Spring Moss, Kraft, Vintage White CS
Ink - PTI Berry Sorbet, New Leaf, Memento Black
Other - SU Small Oval Punch, SU Corner Punch, PTI Vintage Button, Copics, Cuttlebug, PTI White Ribbon, Generic Flowers with bling

Mojo Monday 89, GKD Challenge and Catalog Inspiration

It seldom happens that I get to combine multiple challenges in one card, but this time it just happened that way. I combined Mojo Monday Sketch with the challenge from GKD forum which was to create a Red and Blue colored card without a patriotic theme. And the latest catalog from Pottery Barn was also showcasing red and blue colors so it all came together pretty well.

I stamped the Kite image from GKD Stamps in PTI vintage cream and added some glitter on top, but somehow it does not stand out as much as I expected...Maybe it would have looked better paper pierced...but oh well, next time.

Here is my card,



Here is the Mojo Monday Sketch and the Catalog,






Supplies:
Stamp - Gina K Designs - Stamp TV Eclectic Summer Set
Paper - GKD Pure Luxury Navy and Red, PTI Kraft and White, American Crafts DP
Ink - PTI Pure Poppy and Vintage Cream
Other - Offray Red Ribbon, Stardust Glitter Pen, Stickles
