Festive Friday

 

There's a fun new inspiration list for the Festive Friday challenge.  I chose blue(turquoise), green, brown, shells and seaweed. I started by stenciling a 2 layer Pool Water stencil using Cracked Pistachio and Salvaged Patina distress oxide inks. I brush blended inks onto the different shell and seaweed dies. Some dew drop accents were added for embellishments.

STAMPS: Salt Air Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).
INK: Peacock Feathers, Saltwater Taffy, Warm Lipstick, Salvaged Patine, Bundled Sage, Cracked Pistachio distress oxide (Ranger); Classic Kraft, Honey Nut, Harvest Gold (PTI).
PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI).

That's it for a leisurely Sunday afternoon.  ~Wanda

Just Us Girls




 This week it's CASE a DT Week on the Just Us Girls challenge blog. I chose Bobby Hagan's card and used stamps and dies by Papertrey Ink. After stamping all the florals, I then tucked them behind the sentiment slits. I added two punched corner pieces to give the design better balance (I should have lowered the sentiment more...it felt top heavy).


STAMPS: Blooming Beauties, Tuck It Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).
INK: Versafine Clair Nocturne; Scarlet Jewel (PTI); Olive, Key Lime, Sweet Mustard, Marigold, Clementine, Berrylicious, Candy Apple, Regal Kiss, Hydrangea, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum, Raspberry Bliss (Pinkfresh Studio).
PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI).
DIES: Blooming Beauties, Tuck It Sentiments (PTI); Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things).
OTHER: Corner Photo Punch (Stampin' Up).
