Make It Monday #138

Inlaid Die-Cuts

        With PTI's Mighty Oak Die I first die cut a kraft sheet.

        Next used the same die to cut a 4.25 x 5.5  piece of ivory

        card stock removing all of the leaves and tree. 

       The kraft negative die cut sheet was laid over a top fold

       A2 ivory card and various leaves were stamped with Hero Arts shadow inks.

       After removing the kraft sheet, I glued the ivory die cut sheet to the A2 card

       aligning all of  the leaves to show through their holes. Then inlaid the

       kraft die cut tree which had been stamped with gold ink to give it

       some shimmer. Text is from the Mighty Oak stamp set. Voila.

Die: PTI Mighty Oak

Stamps: PTI Might Oak

Ink: Hero Arts Shadow Inks: Butter Bar, Soft Sage, Soft Wheat,

                                               Soft Cantelope, Just Rust, Cup O Joe



Yay! it's your birthday

TRENDY TRIANGLES

I finally unwrapped my new PTI Cover Plate: Triangles Die

and embossed it with the Big Shot on white cardstock. Used

PTI Trendy Triangles Mini Stamp set with various Hero Arts

Shadow Inks to create the rainbow look. PTI Birthday Sentiments

used on banner. Mounted it on Bazille aqua cardstock, a score line

frames the panel.

Have some fun with your triangle ideas at Trendy Triangles Challenge at Moxie Fab World

love you Forever

Make It Monday #111:Watercoloring Embossed Images

Started with white watercolor paper, stamped heart images from PTI Framed Out #11 with Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. Next pressed 3 different Distress Inks: Victorian Velvet, Fired Brick, Shaded Lilac on an acrylic block, wet my brush and blended the colors on the embossed paper. Directly adhered the colored card stock to a white A2 card. Die cut the PTI Trendy Tree Tops and stamped one circle with the plaid PTI Trendy Tops circle and watercolored Shaded Lilac Distress Ink on it. Dry embossed a Cuttlebug folder on the other Trendy Top die cut. PTI Trendy Tops sentiment stamped in Versafine Black ink on top of half a Nestabilities Labels 8 die cut stamped with PTI Polka Dots Basic II in Hero Arts Soft Lilac ink. Added 2 Fiskars scallop lilac strips to two sides and 3 silver pearls.

Happy 33rd birthday, Matt

Not the best photo. A dark gray top fold card with a Hero Arts chevron background stamped in Brilliance Moonlight White on light gray card stock mounted with dimensional tape. Not having any speech bubbles I improvised with Hero Arts/Sizzix dies. Stamps: PTI, Impress, HA and Marvy Heart punches enhanced with Glossy Accents & Candy Cane Stickles
