This week's Make It Monday challenge over on Nichole Heady's blog was "From Black and White to Color". This is a technique I see often and love, but hadn't tried before. And the main challenge for me was finding a Papertrey Ink stamp set that had outline stamps I could use! Haha! For this card, … Continue reading Make It Monday #260

Make It Monday #259
This past week's Make It Monday challenge over on Nichole Heady's blog was Ombre Cluster Stamping. Love me some ombre!

For the first card I used some … Continue reading Make It Monday #259

Make It Monday #246: Faux brush lettering
Hi everyone! This week's Make It Monday Challenge from Papertrey Ink was faux brush lettering, a technique that lends itself well to water color, markers, etc. I went the water color route with this card. I stamped the Oh Happy Day sentiment from the Paper Clippings: Happy Day set using Hawaiian Shores ink. Then, with a … Continue reading Make It Monday #246: Faux brush lettering
Oh Happy Day
Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a card I made awhile ago with the Paper Clippings: Oh Happy Day set from Papertrey Ink. I thought I'd play up a chalkboard effect, so I stamped and embossed the main sentiment and vine-y pieces onto black card stock. Then I stamped the little floral accent pieces first with … Continue reading Oh Happy Day

Today I have a couple of cards to share using the Christmas text-block die from Papertrey Ink, as well as the Fair Isle Borders stamp set, also from Papertrey Ink.
