PTI Blog Hop May 2016:

I loved the pastels in the Picture and of course had to put out PTI's Summer Sweetness.

I used glossy accents to cover the popsicles  and the So Happy sentiment from Color Pop Butterflies kit. The Polka Dots are from Day Dreamer. 

Monograms:

I loved what Nichole did with the micro pen and defining the letters so I tried it..It works pretty well.

Make it Monday: Score Lines

Laurie had some really good ideas on how to use score lines. I decided to frame my sentiment by putting two lines above and below the Celebrate (from PTI Birthday Cheer) and I used flowers from Nostalgic Notions Market Kit. I used a vellum panel over some Hibiscus checks.  I think I will use them more often now as they really add to the white space.

Make It Monday Challenge:

Since my PTI hasn't yet arrived, I improvised and used the You've Been Framed Diamond die, Background Text, Flowers from Color Pop and some that I had stashed, and the Celebrate from Birthday Cheer.  I sure do better blending over heat embossing than on plain paper!  Cute challenge.

Today PTI challenged us to make a card to Thank the Staff:

I used the Doodlie-Do stamp set and colored it with Copics. I then Zentangled the rest of the card, It's so much fun to Zentangle (controlled doodling) - very relaxing. Anyway, this is a Thank You card to the amazing staff at PTI where I can't imagine all they have to do to get organized and get out all the orders, I really appreciate them and I've worked with them for several years. They're the best!

PTI Challenge- Inspired by Amy's card

I was inspired by Amy Sheffers design with the stencil background and the scalloped frames from Tag Sale #10. I used the seasonal stitched bird and the new Lovely Lady inks to use on a stencil I had in my stash.

Day 5 Watercolor Class

I used PTI stamp Beautiful Brushstrokes as a guide as my free form sucks! The Sentiment is from PTI One Big Happy.
