{ippity} Blog Hop Time!!

It is Monday and that means {ippity} blog hop time. I was quite excited about today's blog hop and ended up making three sets of cards. So please have some patience to go through my post :). Check out {ippity} blog for the list of all the other participants in this blog hop.

1) I did the first card for the Sketchy Thursday Second Chance Card Sketch. It was so much fun doing this card. I used the Ranger Acrylic Paint Daubers in Metallic colors and drew the lines...I used the Gold, Silver and Copper. I used the white paint dauber on the edge of the kraft paper. The image from Because of you set completed the card,


Here is the Sketch,


2) The second card was done for the Just Us Girls Challenge #16 - Which is a color challenge. I used Scarlett Jewel, Sweet Blush and Vintage Cream CS from PTI and Grey from SU. Kept it simple, but loved how this card turned out.


Here is their Color Challenge,


3) Last but not least, I cut out the Flower Image from the Because Of You set and Paper Pierced it :)

Friend Card for Just Us Girls Challenge

It was a technique Challenge at Just Us Girls - Sewing. I did this quick card for my close friend...Just to say Hello.

Here is my card. I kept it simple. I used this Guidelines DP from PTI and stitched on it to kind of make a border. But later I realized that the thread I was using was very light for this DP. I should used some darker color - like brown or pink.. Oh well..I still liked how this card turned out. I used the Friend's 'Till End set.


I took a couple of close up shots to show the stitching,




Banu's Quick Tip - I stamp a bunch of these flowers on CS and I cut them out when I am watching TV or something like that. So at any given point of time, I have a bunch of these flowers cut out - which makes it very easy to put together a card.

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Friends 'Till End
Paper - PTI Raspberry Fizz, PTI Guidelines DP, PTI White CS
Ink - PTI Raspberry Fizz, PTI Dark Chocolate
Other - Generic Pearl Embellishment

Just Us Girls Week 10 - Sketch challenge

Just Us Girls Challenge #10 - Was a sketch Challenge. I had to work on some thank you cards this week for one of my friends and this sketch was perfect for it.

I used the PTI sets - Giga Guidelines and Big & Bold Wishes. I stamped the sentiment from the Big & Bold Wishes set and then cut it out in a rectangle. Images from Giga Guidelines were stamped and punched out with circle punch :) Then it was just a matter of putting it all together.

Here is my card,

PPA 17 Sketch using Just Us Girls Color Combination

I used the PPA 17 Sketch along with Just Us Girls Week 8 Color Throw down - which was to use Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, and Bashful Blue. I did not have those exact colors, but substituted with what I thought was closest to those.

I somehow had made up my mind to create a holiday cards and these are not traditional holiday colors, but I am quite happy how it turned out.

Here is my card,


I used PTI Aqua Mist as my card base. I used Really Rust ink on white CS with Darling Dots and Cute & Curly stamp sets :) I had this SU DP from a while ago, while it was not Pumpkin Pie, that was the closest I found :) Some PTI Orange Ribbon added another color to it :)

Triple Challenge Card

I wanted to share the card that I did for three challenges today. I used this digital freebie image from Inger Harding. I love her images.

Here is my card,



The three challenges were,

1) Copic Creations Challenge - Coloring Black with Copics. I used C5, C7 and T6 for coloring the hair black in this image. As per the tutorial you can see on Copic Creations site, the colors that Suzanne Dean uses are C5, C7 and C9. I did not have C9, so I had to substitute.

2) Copic Color Challenge - Challenge #36 was to use the Colors V17(Amethyst), YR68(Orange), G99(Olive).



3) Just Us Girls Challenge - To add a 3D flower to your project. They have a fantastic tutorial also. But I did not have the Blossoms nestabilities. So, instead I used the five petal flower punch from Paper Wishes and created my own 3d flower. Basically I punched out three flowers, edged with ink, then folded two of them and then curled the third one using a tooth pick and then put them all together with a jewelled brad.

Supplies:
Stamp - Digital Freebie Image from Inger Harding, PTI Simple Things Anniversary Set
Paper - 120 LB Pure Luxury CS from Gina K, SU DP, SU Orange CS, PTI Rustic Cream CS, Bazzill Yellow CS
Ink - Memento Black, Copics, PTI Avocado Ink, Brown chalk ink
Other - Jewelled Brad, Paper Wishes 5 Petal Flower Punch, SU Word Window Punch
