The Great Cover Up

For todays card I used vellum to emboss my sentiment.

Here is my card.

 

Papertrey Ink Challenge

 

I love doing background blending and was keen to make a card for this challenge where embossing was also to be added. I used Spring and Sprays Stamp set and blended the background with Lovely Lady, Winter Wisteria and Blueberry Sky.

So enjoying the last order I received and hope to play more with this beautiful set in the next few days

Papertrey Ink The Great Cover-Up

 

Playing along with the Great Cover-up today and very happy to have been able to make an order of some much desired stamp and dies which I have used one set on todays card.

Amy K made a beautiful card and I delighted in playing along as I don't think I have ever used my dies to create an impression for the background of a card. I was really pleased with the effect. Used was  Floral Bliss and background border die and I am so happy with the beautiful impression it left. I then got to play with a new to me set Abundant blooms which is soooooo pretty and I want to make more and more cards with it. Papertrey sure make it easy with the beautiful stamps and dies they design.

Here is my card for this challenge

Papertrey Ink Challenge

 

Today was the nicest day I have had in a long time because I got some longtime desired Ink to Paper stamps and I cannot wait to ink them up. For the latest What do I do with this Challenge I coloured up my Peonies on Parade set. I coloured then with Zig pens on bristol smooth cardstock. 

I coloured my raindrops Yellow in the center of my flower, pink on the flowers and added some grey to those sitting on the border. I so love this stamp set and it has been some time since I last used it.

Papertrey Ink Live around 5

 I really enjoyed this water colour technique running the ink pad across slightly wet paper then brushing it out a little more. I think the black ink against it is quite striking and I love this set and will be making more of these cards for sure. Thanks for doing this series as I have found a lot of inspiration though watching them. Here is a link to this technique if you would like to watch here 

Thanks for dropping in, I hope your day has a little crafting time in it!

I so enjoyed making a card for this challenge as there were lots of options. I decided to blend over  a background of snow flakes from the lovely set Fab Flakes, I used Blueberry Ink which is a favourite ink of mine from Papertrey Ink, To fiinsh off I added both drops and silver sequins, Thanks for dropping by today I hope you have a change to take time out and create,

Papertrey Ink Challenge

 

For this Challenge Kayva made an amazing card with Happy Birthday on it in Braille. The challenge calls for texture with dies and or heat embossing.

I decided to use the dies that go to one of my first Papertrey Ink sets........Happiness in Blooms. I love this set still to this very day and I don't think it will ever date. I used the dies only to make my flowers and then added a coordinating button in the centers. I love to use buttons on my cards but often struggle with how to add them and this was so easy. It adds further texture to the card. My background was heat embossed with the rustic brick background and then I lifted my heat embossed sentiment with dimensionals and lastly added a few sequins as a finishing touch.  I had fun with this challenge and look forward to seeing others interpretations. Happy Cardmaking! Lyn
