PTI Gilded in Gold

Gilded in Gold challenge with Danielle Flanders 

Here is my card for the Gilded in Gold challenge that Danielle has going on for the Papertrey Ink 2016 Stamp-A Faire.

I was inpired from one of the masters, Manet's Lillacs in Glass, but changed the colours and mine is in the PTI pint jar.  I used stamps from Frienship Jar Flowers and Art with Heart sets.  Inked up in various colours (Blueberry Sky, Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Buttercup and Hibiscus Burst) sprayed the stamps with water and stamped onto Arches W/C paper.  The scripty and classy Thanks is also PTI and I cut from a gold pearlized sheet and layered another die cut from W/C paper.  The vellum pint jar is also swiped with some platinum ink for a little more interest.  I loved making this little bouquet!

Hello Friend

Hello again!  This is a second post for me today.  Another friend, the talented and card perfectionist extraordinaire, Anita of My Papercraft World is also on a design team and this would be for Time Out challenges.  

This challenge #22 had an element in it that was on my wavelength today.  Still feeling groovy from my previous post this morning, my eye spied the gorgeous floral pillow and I happened to have a colourful page of Basic Grey "Lime Rickey" out on a shelf...

All of the DT cards are lovely as are the cards submitted so far.  So many great elements in this photo to take a cue from and I wanted to also include the red hello and wood element.  As it happens, I have accentuated another heart and I am considering this to be my "Second Cup" for the MUSE challenge #100.  

No song title this time.

Thanks for stopping in and taking a peek!

CAS(e) this Sketch 84

Having some fun today with the latest CAS(e) this Sketch! #84

I wanted some drama for this birthday card for a friend's Fall birthday, so More Mustard and Sage, with a sprinkle of Calypso Coral, all against black! I was inspired by this beautiful card from Coleen Dietrich over on the current Card Concept colour blog.

Love these together!

I used a tiny mosaic EF for the black card front, PTI flowers stamps from Happiness in Bloom and Embroidered Blooms and the matching die.  The sentiment is stamped in true black from the Embroidered Blooms set.  My photo looks a little more orangey than IRL, but the mustard and sage are a favourite combo for me.

Thanks for taking a peek and I hope that you are having a great day!
