Passion For ProMarkers #38 – Agean, Skye Blue and Cool Aqua.

10.02.2010 by 2 Comments

Well this is a day late as I have been completely without t’internet for almost two days!!  It’ so debilitataing!!!

Our challenge at Passion For ProMarkers this week is a colour theme – Agean, Sky Blue and Cool Aqua.  These scream snow to me so I opted for a very early Christmas card!!  One of my favouruite Mo Manning images, Kai in the Snow has been coloured using the challenge colours and then a little bit of ice stickles and there we have it.  The dotty background is Stampin Up Bashful Blue card stamped in Fresh Snow ink from PTI with the Polka Dot Basics set.  I can’t get enough of these stamps!!!  Please check out the rest of the DT’s cards – they’re all amazing as ever!!
Have a great day,

Papertrey Ink Emboss-Resist Challenge

05.02.2010 by 6 Comments
Ok, this is the first time I have EVER tried this technique – I am way too safe to be dabbing ink directly onto anything!!  However, I have been avidly following the anniversary celebrations over on Nichole Heady’s amazing blog for the last 5 days and today she has set a challenge to use this technique.  There is going to be a challenge every Monday which is so exciting to me now that I own a healthy supply of PTI goodies (more to be added V soon!!).  If you, like me are new to this technique then there is a great video tutorial (videorial??) showing how it’s done over on Nichole’s blog.  I have used my Peaceful Poinsettia stamp set (there is a GORGEOUS background stamp in this set) with Aqua Mist and Ocean Tides inks and card.  The little sentiment is from the Mega Mixed Messages set.
Well, got my fingers and toes crossed as there is another awesome prize up for grabs.  I wonder what tommorrow will bring?!

Hugs,

A Passion For Papertrey?? Just a bit!!

04.02.2010 by 288 Comments

This is a another card I made with my new goodies from PTI (swoon).  I have been having SO much fun with them and just love how easy it is to make something that looks so coordinated and clean.  I just love it all and can’t wait for the 15th (the date of the next release) to come round so I can order some more!!!!

This card was made for my lovely friend Kate as a belated birthday/thank you (she sent me a gorgeous little gift from her recent travels to LA).  Her favourite colour is Aqua Mist so I knew I had to use that!  The stamps are from the Blooming Button Bits set, the buttons are Aqua Mist and the ink and ribbon are Spring Moss.  The backround is done using Polka Dots Basics also in AM.  When I inked up the leaf stamp I then stamped one of the polka dot backgrounds onto the stamp before I stamped it onto the card.  If you look closely you can just see some little dots on the leaves!!  Kate and Aimes have a challenge on at the moment over at A Passion for Papertrey to use a nature theme so I think this qualifies!!
