PaperTrey Ink 8th Anniversary Inspiration Challenge
Okay, I originally posted this on Sunday, never checked and figured out somehow I never saved it. Ugg!! I hate when that happens. So I will start all over again and hope that this will publish.
PaperTrey Ink is turning eight. I am in awe of the talent of the designers and the owner, Nichole Heady. I have a hefty order a couple times a year when I can get away with it. Their stamp and die designs are always so fresh and each designer is so different that I always have a hard time weeding down my wish list. The minute I get an old design I love, they release new sets. How can a girl keep up? For their anniversary, Nichole is sponsoring all sorts of challenges for the festivities and for this challenge, the prize is your ENTIRE wish list, up to a $300 value. How cool would that be?
The drawings will be on February 15th, my birthday. What a great birthday present this would be if I won!!
This challenge was to use colors and a sketch to make a card. I chose the inspiration cards below for my card.
To begin with, I cut white card stock into a 5 1/2" by 3 3/4" piece. I then used PTI's "Building Blocks" stamp set and stamped some blocks using Sweet Blush, Aqua Mist and Fine Linen ink.
Originally I wanted the blocks to be straight however no matter how hard I tried, I would mess them up. I finally decided that I would tilt the blocks in a random way so that I wouldn't have to worry about them lining up perfectly.
I then stamped a piece of Sweet Blush card stock with Sweet Blush ink using the "Ombre Builders" stamp set. I adhered it to a Fine Linen card base and then adhered the white card face over it.
Next I then stamped and die cut a circle from PTI's "Tag Its #11" set. I adhered this over a kraft colored, pinked die cut circle and then glued it over the stamped blocks.
I die cut the banner out of Sweet Blush card stock, stamped it with Melon Berry ink and the sentiment with Enchanted Eventing. I adhered it over the circle with foam adhesive.
My last step was to adhere pink, aqua and a melon sequin to the front of the card.
I really like how this came out. I was not sure about the colors at first. I like sketches but color challenges are more difficult for me. I think that it might have been less difficult if I had used flowers but I wanted to make a Valentine so it was a little more challenging.
I want to thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day!!
