Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Frosting!

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

I focused on the colors and overall look of the inspiration photo. I started with some PTI white linen paper. I used ranger hickory smokey ink cube with the dtp(direct to paper) technique brushed it across the paper. I added some pressure in areas to get a more saturated look. I really love the distress weather feel.

I stamped and die cut PTI Beautiful Berries stamp set in pale peony and lovely lady. I white embossed the sentiment from PTI Caligraphy Classics set. I added some white paint splatters for added effect. I finished my card with some clear sequins.

Graduation Congratulations!

Posted by Betty Wright

Happy Sunday! I am popping in with a card to share. I need a graduation card for a man! Check it out! I am playing along with this week's PTI Make It Monday Challenge: Watercolor Wash Background. I chose to do the emboss resist option using Papertrey's Tropics stamp set. I stamped the images in versamark, white embossed, then added different colors of ranger inks for my watercolor wash. I added some splatters as well in shades of greens with a touch of some black.

For my sentiment I used PTI Pen and Ink stamp set. I cut a strip of Pure black card stock. I stamped the sentiment in versamark and white embossed, I created my own fishtail at the end with some snips. I am using this week's CASE this Sketch as inspiration so all of my foliage is at the bottom and left edge.

I must admit, while I was creating the background, I did not realize this sentiment was so large. I feel it covers up a lot of the background images. I really did not have time to redo. After I added the clear sequins it started growing on me, though. It is quite manly so Win! Win!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Flutter!

Posted by Betty Wright

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

I started with a piece of PTI Lovley Lace Patterned Paper. All the paper butterflies created a pattern-like feel to me. I chose a scripture focusing on feathers as the flutter reference. I stamped the scripture from PTI Year of Psalms: March set.

I added aqua mist and harvest gold inks to two of the feathers to add some color from the inspiration photo. I added the focal panel to a smokey shadow card base using some foam tape for dimension. I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

Thank You!

Posted by Betty Wright

Happy Saturday! I had a chance to get crafty today! I have been on spring break all week and it has been very busy busy! A lot going on with planning for the move.

I have a card to share today using some new goodies from Papertrey Ink. I was trying not to buy anything, and I have not for a long while because it is just MORE STUFF to move. I caved! I felt I had to have something new just to jumpstart my dormant mojo!

I am playing along with this week's Make It Monday Challenge. This week we are to add a background pattern behind a cut out frame. I chose to go with a textured embossing folder background. This is an oldie, but goodie folder. I am also playing along with this rotation of the Fusion Card Challenge. I just love the inspiration photo with the beautiful spray of florals.

I started with a white cardstock that I embossed. The truck color looked alittle like ocean tides so I chose that color for the layered frame. I chose the smaller triangle from PTI Basic Banners set. I then inked and die cut the flowers and leaves from Gran's Garden stamp set and dies.

I used hibiscus burst, ripe raspberry, pure poppy, melon berry, scarlet jewel, ocean tide, and simply chartreuse inks. I added a sentiment from Bold Blossoms stamp set stamped in versafine onyz black. I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Tulip!

Posted by Betty Wright

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

I started with a white card base. I added a cut out oval gingham patterned paper over a linen cardstock layer.that so that the linen pattern could be seen through the oval. I used some foam tape between the layers.

I stamped several of the smaller tulips in PTI Tulip Time stamp set. I used green parakeet and new leaf for the leaves. For flower color combinations I used hibiscus burst with raspberry fizz, harvest gold and bright buttercup, and lovely lady with hibiscus burst. I arranged the flowers inside the oval cut out. I added a sentiment in versafine onyx black using the Tag Sale Quilted sentiment strip. The sentiment comes from PTI Keep It Simple Encouragement. I finished my card with a few clear sequins. I am using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!
