There is Sunshine

Make It Monday #253

Reverse Stenciling

Today's card was made with my new Make It Market
Mini Kit: Sunshine & Rainbows from Papertrey Ink.

If you view Betsy's video, you'll see how to do this technique.

As you can see from my photo, we have a sunny June day!

The word "sunshine" was die cut out of the stenciled panel, 

backed with bright yellow card stock before mounting the 

panel on a light orange card base.

Happy for you

Create Along with Us June 2016

I really enjoyed this month's release at Papertrey Ink especially the Woodblock Prints collection.
When I saw Amy Sheffer's "Thanks" card I immediately thought of the Irresistibly Ikat set.

Amy used stencils to create her background but mine was stamped. 

Card Menu:

Stamps: PTI Irresistibly Ikat, One Big Happy

Dies: PTI Tag Sale: Quilted, Tipped Tops; PTI Linen Impression Plate

Ink: Hero Arts Lime Green & Pool, Versafine Onyx Black

Misc: Silver DMC thread, Clear Wink of Stella, fun foam for mounting the quilted die

Enjoy This Special Day

This was a fun card to make after viewing Dawn McVey's video on making Gradient Watercolor Die Cuts. Using three Distress Inks, I watercolored a piece of watercolor paper. Next die cut a medium size feather and inlaid it on a woodgrain paper bookmark which was adhered to a chartreuse card with foam mounting tape. The sentiment was stamped directly on the feather and a vellum banner die cut. The bookmark was completed with a baker's twine bow. All products except for the twine and woodgrain paper are from Papertrey Ink.

Card Menu:

Stamps: PTI What the Doodle: Butterfly

Dies: PTI Basic Bookmark #2, Feather Finery, Tag Sale: Quilted 

Inks: Ranger Archival Black, Distress peacock feathers, tumbled glass, twisted citron
