Altenew March Challenge

Since starting to work full time (well, two part time jobs) last week, I've found it hard to find time to make cards again. I have a few wedding cards to make so I spent a bit of time on it this weekend. I used the inspiration photo from the Altenew March challenge to make this card. I used the Altenew Vintage flowers stamp set, Simon Says Stamp stencil and sentiment from Papertrey Ink to put it all together. The inks I used were - Hero Arts Passion Flower and Bubblegum, Ranger Wild Orchid, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Mowed Lawn and Ranger Archival Jet Black. I'm also adding this card to the Simon Says Stamp March Flickr challenge - Anything Goes!
Thank you for joining me!

Fusion of two challenges

It's so nice to have time to make cards... (not looking forward to working full-time)! I tend to make multiples every time I'm doing a design now, as it is easier to ink up two images and then you can pick the better one to post.  For this card I've used the inspiration photo from Fusion Card Challenge and the technique from PTI Make it Monday Challenge #235 - Adding colour to the stamped image. For the flowers, I stamped with Hero Arts midtone inks and then removed some of the colour by using the Copics blender. I actually did have enough to make two cards out of it! The first one is for the Fusion challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

MIM - No Sew Quilted Card and CTD287

Here is my take on Dawn McVey's PTI Make It Monday challenge on a quilted card. I've used this technique in the past using Washi Tape and now I've used Patterned Paper. One good thing about going to a Retreat with Joy Taylor, apart from meeting her for the first time, was getting her Studio Calico hand-me-downs! I picked some lovely colours from her stash to match the colours of the current Color Throwdown #287 challenge. I had a very productive night making cards last night, after a very busy (no Crafting time) week! Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients

PTI March Blog Hop

I had a day off work today to get over a cold. I ended up doing housework, packing and labeling my craft items I'm taking with me on a Craft Retreat this weekend. I then realized that I have not made a card yet for the PTI March Blog Hop. So out comes the stamps, dies and ink I had packed! Here is my card using my new PTI Make-it Market kit. This kit is ideal for the theme of the March blog hop - High Gloss! The only extra piece not in the kit is the MT tape.  I'm really looking forward to this weekend, so no more cards until the Retreat! Thanks for dropping by!!
