Papertrey June Blog Hop challenge!!

This month's Papertrey Blog hop challenge was a fun one!

"This month we thought it would be fun to focus on COLOR! We want to see your favorite Papertrey

color schemes put to work. Be sure to post the color scheme near the top of your post in bold letters so

everyone can collect them to use as a future reference! With everyone's different takes on

combinations from the Papertrey spectrum, we will surely build an amazing resource that we can all

utilize and fall in love with some new favorite color schemes! 

One of my favorite color combinations of all time is this:

I have been secretly wishing that PTI would come out with a stamp set that coordinates with the scallop dies sooo bad!  So, I thought I would look through what stamps I did have that might fit in the scallops.  I realized that my brand new set All About You has circles that are almost perfect for the medium scallop die!!  Take a look at my dotted scallop border I created!!  Ohhh, I am in heaven!!

Some other things that I tried for this card were coloring the rhinestones to match the Plum Pudding color, cutting out all those leaves and the flower (I don't do this very often at all), using my new impression plates for the background papers, and my new Plum Pudding pigment ink. 

{Happy Birthday to YOU}

Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #10--My turn!!

Hello.....This week it is my turn to host the Papertrey Paper Dolls blog challenge!

I knew I wanted to use scallops and after seeing this card by Dawn McVey......I knew I wanted to do a sketch similar to this!  I have used a similar layout before on a card here. 

I have to give a big shout out to Jen Carter for helping me with this sketch.....I'm just a little sloooow when it comes to using my computer to do things like making sketches!!

Here is my card using Beautiful Blooms II stamps from PTI.  I have to admit this is the first time I've inked this set up!!  ack!  I really really like this set after using it for this challenge!  Can you tell that I am really liking the Summer Sunrise and Pure Poppy color palette too?  Don't worry, I'm going to use a different color palette for the PTI blog hop tomorrow!!  :)

I also had to use my new set.....All About You.  Wow...this will

definitely be a GO-TO set for just about any kind of card you need!!

I mentioned that I used my Beautiful Blooms dies too.....I curled up the flower to give it added dimension without using pop dots for once!!  I also used the rock 'n roll technique again with this set.....just love how it turned out!!

Thanks for visiting and remember.........we keep the Papertrey Paper Dolls challenges up for

three (3) weeks!  So, why don't you come and play!!!
