Curtain Call Color Challenge: {ACT 49}

Today I am playing along with the Curtain Call Color Challenge: ACT {49}. 

Here are the fabulous color scheme for this week.

I did have to substitute some "other" similar colors for the tan colors.

I kind of went back to my roots so to speak.  I went with a technique I learned when

I first started stamping:  Chalk popping.  (At least that's what I was taught it was called!)

The centers of my flowers look a bit green but I used some tan

shimmery chalk for the centers....I promise!

For this I also had to do a little masking and I really like how this turned out.

What do you think?  I so wanted to add some pearls or something but I am

leaving it "off" so to speak.  :)

Have a great day!

On with the card right?  This card was made for the Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #11 hosted by Anika!  This challenge was to make a different sized card other than the standard size.  I chose to make a tall and skinny one like Anika did.  I don't think I've made a tall and skinny one since I first started card making!!

I used Friends til the End stamp set and most of the sentiments too!  I also went through my stamps and found another circle stamp that fits perfectly in the medium scallop die from PTI!!

Have a wonderful day!

PTI Desk Top Organizer template

A couple of months ago, I decided to break down and purchase the PTI Desk Top Organizer Timeless Template(I think of it as a stationery set). I really like the idea of using these; however, my printer doesn't take PTI cardstock very well so I've had to adapt and make an original and trace. Anyway, these turn out sooo cute!! This particular set was made for a friend of mine who graciously lent me her Twilight series books to read (which BTW were awesome). I wanted to thank her for letting me read them. Here I used the PTI stamp set called Friends til the End. I love the look of the flower stamped "off" the paper some and paired with Mega Mixed Messages to the side. Something else I love is that Fresh Snow ink on Pure Poppy cardstock!! It just shows up so nicely. I think I made 4 different note cards and added envelopes. Here is a pic of how I packaged this gift.
