Altenew February challenge

I took a class by Altenew at CHA and fell in love with their layered flower stamps. The class didn't offer freebie sets, so I had to go buy my own. I chose the stamp set called Golden Garden with matching dies and another one called Super Script. I love the bold mod look and these flowers and sentiments make it easy to whip up a quick tag.

PTI Release Challenge

The last challenge was to use the first three layers of your name to create a project. This was a perfect simple project for a last minute Valentine's tag for my mom. My name challenge came out like this:

J - jewels
O - ombré
N - something new

And here is my tag:


I used my new PTI tag die and PTI Scribble Circles stamp.

PTI Thank-you

My last card that I'm sharing today is a thank-you card. 


This is a nice flat card since it's going in the mail today to PTI. And of course there is a matching envelope. :oD

I used an old PTI stamp set called Bird Watching. I also used Wonderful Words:Thank-you and Circle Scrbbles.

PTI Color Pop Challenge


This challenge involves a color picker...

Pick a number: 5
Move the picker 5 times and the color over my left thumb is my first color
SIMPLY CHARTRUSE
Flip 11 times - November
open flap on the left to get the next two colors
SPRING RAIN - BLUEBERRY SKY

These aren't colors that I would have picked... kind if too monochromatic for me, but I really like how it came out.


I used the PTI Enjoy frame die cut, and Beautiful Blooms stamp set and dies.

In this challenge we were asked to cut 9 squares and use a different technique on each. I used the following techniques:

Masking
Dry Embossing
Stenciling
White on White
Coloring with Copics

I also used PTI Framed Out Set #1 and Beutiful Blooms Stamps and Dies.

Time to clean up. Thanks for stopping by!
