PTI June 2009 Blog Hop



2nd post of the day. Please scroll down to see the first.

It's time again for the PTI Blog Hop. This time's challenge was to get inspired by the Lazy days of summer. I had gotten the Magazine called Experience from Lifetime Fitness club just yesteday and it was so bright and cheerful for the summer. There was this lady holding basketful of apples and I just had to use the Vintage Picnic set to create my card...

Here is my card,


I used E57 and E59 for the basket. YG03 and G24 for the apples and G28 for the leaves. The Copic tutorial for these baskets and fruits as shown by Nichole during June release was very helpful. Here is a link for it.

Here is the Magazine that inspired this card,

Ink - Memento Black, PTI Chai Ink cube and Copics

Copic Challenge 6 and TECC sketch 73

I was very excited to find the Copic blog where they are posting copic related challenges. I have fallen in love with Copics and it is so much fun to participate in these challenges. You can see the link for Copic challenges on my right nav bar.

Copic Challenge #6 was Copic marker coloring techniques for Wood. I searched my stamp sets and found two stamp sets which I could use with this challenge. Boards and Beams by PTI which has the house and I can kind of treat it like a wood cabin... and also Time For you by PTI which has the wooden bench. So I decided to do two cards :)

This first card is using PTI's Board and Beam stamp set. I colored the main slats of the house using browns and tried to get in the weathered look, it has not come out that great, but for my first try..I kind of liked it.



Here are the copics I used for this card,



I used the W5 for the shingles and then used the colorless blender to kind of lighten it. I used the w3 for the door and Y11 for the windows -- in retrospect it feels too bright, I might have used some other color. The browns were used on the slats and Y28 was used for the posts and window slats.

For the second card, I used the TECC 73 sketch and colored the wooden bench....



Here are the Copics I used for this card,
