PTI February Blog Hop - Sweet Spring 1

It feels so good to be able to participate in the PTI monthly blog hop again after a very busy month last month. The theme for February is Spring which is perfect for a few wedding cards I need to make. I've made two for the Blog Hop and here is the first one.

Washi masculine card

It is so much easier to make a card for a female than a male! I have another farewell card for a work colleague and decided to go with the Paper Smooches Sparks Designer Drafts sketch. This sketch screams washi tape! I started off with some non-feminine colours and went from there. This card is another A4 sized card. As I've used washi tape, I've also decided to add this to Ribbon Carousel's Washi tape challenge.

Ingredients

Neenah carstock, PS note die, Reflections and Sentiment Sampler, Hero Arts Soft Granite, Cup O'Joe and Navy, Memento Luxe Bahamas Blue, washi tapes in my stash and MME enamel dots to match.

Masculine Farewell Card

It is sad at work when Voluntary Departure Packages are offered and quite often, some of our fellow colleagues who have been there for over 20 years take them. This week in our department at work, we say goodbye to 4 colleagues, some of whom I have worked closely with in the past. They are all leaving at the end of this week and there are lots of farewell lunches, afternoon teas and dinners. Well hey, guess what? I've been asked to make some of these cards. Here is one for a colleague I have worked with when I was in the laboratory three years ago. I used the colours of the current Color Throwdown #280, the vanilla being the cardstock colour and the PTI Love Potion stampset which was quite appropriate for my work! This card is A4 sized! Thanks for popping by!

Ingredients
Neenah cardstock, Papertrey Ink Love Potion and Folk Art, Hero Arts Pool, Green Hills and Navy, Ranger Archival Jet Black, My Minds Eyes Enamel dots.

PS Get well!

Fusion Butterflies

When I saw the Fusion #4 Challenge, I could not wait to start. I love butterflies! I gathered all the butterfly stamps I have and used them all for this card, except for the Tim Holtz one which did not quite fit in with what I wanted to do. Initially I tried heat embossing with black but when I used my Copic markers, the black smudged! Boo! So I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, coloured with Copics and then added a bit of glitter.. This is an A4 sized farewell card for work. Thanks for dropping by!
