Pink & Pretty

I'm playing along with a new (to me) challenge on The Cutie Pie Challenge blog. It's a monthly challenge and for October, we are to create a "pink & pretty" card.

This is a favorite die set from Papertrey Ink which is so fun to assemble and create a diaper bag that acts as a gift card holder! I die cut most of the pieces from white card stock then color blended. I layered it over an arched vellum layer to soften it up a bit.

STAMPS: None.

PAPER: Vellum, Stampers Select White, True Black (Papertrey Ink); Metallic silver.

INK: Lovely Lady, Bright Buttercup, Blueberry Sky, Fine Linen, Honey Nut (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Love to Layer: Arches,  Go-To Gift Card Holder: Diaper Bag (Papertrey Ink); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Simple Stitch Crochet Stencil (Small) - Papertrey Ink. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! It's another beautiful fall day in VA. Hope your week is going well!  ~Wanda

Color Throwdown #815

 

Happy hump day crafty friends! It's time again for a new Color Throwdown challenge with Susie hosting and using the colors of orange, aqua and green. I've sadly never used the autumn accessory stamp/die set that goes with the Top Down Day set from The Greetery. It was high time I got it inky!

I started by stenciling the base panel using a tartan builder stencil. Next, I stenciled a watercolor background with Aqua Mist ink on the arch panel. This VW car always takes me back to the 70's when my very first car was a navy "Bug". 😍

STAMPS: Top Down Day, Top Down Autumn Day (The Greetery).

INK: Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Saffron Spice, Orange Zest, Canyon Clay, Cocoa Bean, Dark Chocolate, Pure Linen (Papertrey Ink); Key Lime, Turquoise, Misty Coast, Metropolis (Pinkfresh Studio); Versafine Clair Nocturne; Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness distress inks (Ranger).

PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Stamper's Select White (PTI).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Christmas Sprigs, Love to Layer: Arches (PTI); Top Down Day, Top Down Autumn Day (The Greetery).

OTHER: Tartan Builder Diagonal stencil (The Greetery); Watercolor Wonderful stencils (PTI). 

 

We'd love to have you play along with us! Happy stamping!  ~Wanda

Color Throwdown #813

 

It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge. This week, Broni is hosting with yellow, pink and orange. I used two shades of pink along with the yellow and light orange so I'd have 4 colors to "piece" in the quilt pattern.

I decided to combine the new sunflower edge die (just released from PTI) with the pinwheel quilt top dies by Concord & 9th. The jury is still out on this design - haha! I added tiny pop dots under each flower petal to give it more dimension.

STAMPS: None.

INK: Summer Sunrise, Dark Chocolate (Papertrey Ink).

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise, Lovely Lady, Lemon Tart (PTI).

DIES: Elegant Edges: Sunflower (PTI); Pinwheel Quilt Top (Concord & 9th); Small Hello (Simon Says Stamp).

We'd love to have you play along with the challenge! Hope to see you in the gallery!  ~Wanda
