Throw Back

 

PapertreyInk is celebrating their anniversary and have some challenges using older stamps. I just picked up a couple of the new TH oxide inks and couldn't resist playing with wilted violet to make this card. I used Tiny Treats Valentine and Bakers Dozen. I am having fun with this new ink and can't wait for a birthday so I can send this card.

Perfect Pear

 

This week I played along with a Share Joy challenge and used the sketch. I made this card for the owners of the store I work in, as they are a perfect pear. They have had their store open for 15 years and it runs like clockwork because of them. Happy Anniversary!

Masculine Floral

 

 

I took the PapertreyInk Challenge this week to make a masculine floral card. It was perfect timing as I had to make a birthday card for my nephew and I just got the sunflower cutting plate in the mail. So excited to use it. I hope my nephew doesn't think it's too flowery.

Thanks

 

This week I played along with PTI and for their challenge lifted from this card made by Maile Belles. I just loved the look of the gold on craft. I didn't have a good gold ink so I used Versamark to ink and then went over it with my gold Perfect Pearls.

Sketch Challenge

This week I used the Share Joy challenge to make two cards. I wanted to send a card to my son who plays football in college and I needed a card for a friend who is retiring from the National Guard after 30 years of service. It was fun to use the sketch for two very different cards.

Bowl of Cherries

This week I took the PaperTrey Ink challenge of strip grounding your sentiment. I just got this stamp set so it was new to me and I was very excited to ink it up. It's called "A Second Helping of Sunshine". I just love that name. I used glossy accents on the cherries. I can't wait to make another card using the pears in the bowl.

You Eat What?

 

I just love puns and this new stamp set from Taylored Expressions called "If Cows Could Talk" makes me laugh. When I saw the sketch all I could think about was a fence. So here is my cow card.
