Addicted to Stamps & More #225

 

It is so nice to have some new challenges besides Christmas and winter ones.  

When I saw ATSM I immediately thought of butterflies.  Love that when it happens.

I also got the rest of Catherine Pooler's party collection inks yesterday and could hardly wait to use them.  They are simply amazing.  One time stamping to get these bright images.  Love them.

And this was on Linen paper which is sometimes hard to get a good image the first time.  I used PTI's Butterfly Dreams one of their oldies and Swoosh sentiment.  The flowers are from CP's Amazing Floral.

Some PPP sequins and Perlen Pen for the middle of flowers and butterflies.  Yeah, less than an hour to come up with this and finish it without having to start over.  That is unheard of for me.

Here is the inspiration photo.

Creative with Stamps #4 Ink Splatters

 

Well after several tries, I finally was able to come up with a card to post.   Kept getting too much  spray on the butterflies, so decided to spay the panel first and then die cut the butterflies.

PTI's 9th Anniversary -Color Pop Fortune Teller

 

I was finally able to make a card for yesterday's challenge.  I had a routine Endoscopy yesterday and was out of commission most of the day.  Everything was good.  Have 2 of my granddaughters here for the weekend so I am not always able to just come in here and play.  The 10 year old likes to play along so she  has been in here with me.  The 15 year old is off by herself and comes up for air every once in awhile. 

Avery discovered sponging on stencils.  She watched Betsy's video on the Mini Market Kit and thought that was pretty cool.

Here are the colors I picked from the Color Pop Fortune Teller

Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores and Blueberry Sky

PTI's 9th Anniversary

PTI's 9th Anniversary Celebration Day 5: Sampler Square Challenge

 

This was a difficult challenge for me.  I have been trying all morning to create this.  I finally came up with something that I liked.

PTI Anniversary 

Click on above to join in the festivities.

I used the Take 3 Die to make the squares, although they are about 1/4 " too small.  I sponged Distress Inks from a stencil on the 3 middle  squares and then had to come up with 3 butterflies and 3 leaf images .

PTI's Butterfly Dreams, Harvest Berries, Sending You & Bitty Bouquets in Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores, Harvest Gold and Raspberry Fizz.  I see that I didn't add a sentiment, but not going to send as a card anyway cause I don't have an envelope that size.

My third card is another wash using Kristina's technique.

The 3rd lesson for the day was to paint a rose freehand, needless to say I have nothing worth showing.  Like I said before, I can't even draw stick people.  

And I have two more backgrounds to make into cards using Laura Bassen's technique.  May not get to them until tomorrow.

Make It Monday #227 Focal Cluster with Lexi

 

Love it when cards come together so easily like this one.  I actually made one with Garden Grace, but it was too big, so came up with this one using Harvest Berries.

PTI's Butterfly Dreams embossed in white and then colored with Zigg watercolor pens.  Then spritzed with water to get the colors to flow.  I little masking fluid for some dots.

The Paper Studio embossing folder on background.  The strip was also watercolored and spritzed.  This was a technique that Darlene showed on Love, Live Cards.   Love it.
