Hey friends!! Back with a couple more cards for PTI's 8th anniversary celebrations. Today's cards are for the day 2 challenge (inspired by Maile Belles) and the day 5 challenge (spring into action). Up first is my card for the day 1 challenge:
I didn't have to look for long on Maile's blog to find a card to inspire me! I chose a card from her day three post. I like the way she split the panel on her design. I pretty much copied her design except I used a flower instead of a butterfly. I used Happiness in Bloom and the color combo from Color Throwdown so I will be posting my card to that challenge, as well. I stamped the main flower using red and purple inks and then covered it with a mask and stamped the leaves with aqua and green inks. The sentiment was stamped in black. After cutting the panel I adhered it to a light grey cardstock base.
The challenge for day 5 was to use a stamp set that hadn't been used before or not used in along time. I used the YOF Gladiolus set... one I have never actually inked up! I stamped the main image in white on kraft cardstock and then colored it with Prisma pencils. I cut the panel down on one side and then added a strip of Plum Pudding Bitty Box Basics patterned paper. I was reluctant to stamp the sentiment at the bottom so I stamped it at the top... not sure I really like it.
Thanks for stopping by...
