More PTI challenges

I'm back with some more artwork for the Papertrey Ink anniversary challenges. First challenge was to create a floral card that used two or more PTI flower sets.

I managed to get three sets on this card and four different ink colors - kind of outside the box for me. I used Doodlie-Do for the main image, Funky Florals for the purple bursts and Ruby Reprise for the leaves and small yellow filler flowers. The colors are Melon Berry, Royal Velvet, Lemon Tart and Simply Chartreuse. The "frame" was embossed with a Nestabilities die and the front card layer was added to the card base with foam tape.

The other challenge was to use a stamp set that hadn't been inked up yet. Now I normally play with all my stamps right away but this one, Block Party, hadn't been touched yet so I created a simple card that would be a great invitation - to a block party or to a child's birthday. How fun would a building block party be?

I stamped all of the pieces on cardstock and cut them all out to assemble my building on the cream card front. The words were stamped with Type Strips 2 and added to the card front. So what do you think? Great party invitation idea?

That's it for me for today - back again soon!

Papertrey Playhouse invitation challenge

I am the hostess this time around for the Papertrey Playhouse challenge. I thought since the holidays are a great time for parties and gatherings, invitations would be the perfect theme for the challenge. Here is one I made for a holiday party:

I used a few different Papertrey Ink stamp sets - you can see the list of them at the PTPH blog. I also have another invitation I recently created posted at Moments of Your Heart - I hope you'll stop by there and take a look, too. Then join in the fun and create an invitation to share with us! Be sure to use PTI products. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!!

I'll be back with more artwork to share soon. The craziness that has been my life lately is starting to calm down and that means more time in the stamp room - YAY!! See you soon!
