PTI's Stamp-a-Faire Masters

Hey friends!!  I'm sure that many of you spent the day yesterday watching all the wonderful videos the PTI design team put together for Stamp-a-Faire Masters and then making cards.  I watched the videos, but didn't get anything made.  This morning I put together a card for Danielle's Gilded in Gold challenge.   I used the color combo from ColourQ and the layout from Freshly Made Sketches so I will be adding my card to their galleries, as well.  I noticed that the pattern in the inspiration photo from ColourQ looked like peacock featehrs so I decided to use PTI's Feather Finery for my design.  I die cut the smallest feather in the Feather Finery set twice and then stamped the feathers in teal.  The dots were added in dark navy to one and purple to the other.  The bottoms of the feathers were then gilded with the Liquid Leaf in Classic Gold.  All the other pieces were die cut and layered and then I finished things off with some sequins in teal and purple.   This may be the only project I get completed before the Tuesday deadline.  Tomorrow is the July PTI blog hop and I want to get something made for that.  

 Thanks for stopping by today...

PTI Stamp-a-Faire Friday Night Gallery Reception

Hello friends!!  Tomorrow is PTI's annual Stamp-a-Faire and this year it is all about the Masters.  Tonight is the Friday night gallery reception where Nichole is asking us to share one of our favorite cards or "masterpieces".    I took a quick through my photo folder of cards that I had made and came across this photo of a card that I think I made for a PTI blog hop in November or December.   I absolutely loved how the card turned out.   I used the Brushed Off stamp set to create my ornaments.  What I loved about the card is that while it is very modern in the style and the colors I used for the ornaments it is also slightly traditional.   I liked the layout of the card so much I actually used it for a publication call that I responded to and the card inspired by this card got picked for publication! 

Thanks for stopping by for a look... would love to hear your thoughts!
