Pen and Ink Hello

Wednesday Challenge : Framed Sentiments

For my card there is lots of inking going on. The pens are inked up in the PTI inks: Lilac Grace, Hawaiian Shores, Limeade Ice and Aqua Mist. The dye set itself did the patterning. In order to do this I made pen templates for each part in two different Misti's so I could mix and match up colors and patterns. After the set up it was easier to make several different pens.

the background was inked with Limeade Ice, Hawaiian Shores, and Aqua Mist. Then the sentiment was die cut out twice as well as the oval frame in Limeade Ice and Hawaiian Shores.

The envelope is from Parcel and Post cut from some Hawaiian Shores pattern paper.

My take on this on was also to start with the Blueprints 33 Die Set. Total game changer made so easy .. what great way to pull together some cards. I used the happy Party Penguins Stamp  and Die set with some MFT papers, including the glitter paper that does  not flake!

Win It Wednesday with Laurie
Make A Shaped Card
My card is using the PTI Onesie die and the Worth the Wait stamp and die set. I used a lace heart die to make the collar and edges of the sleeves. By using Delicata Rose Gold ink for the sentiments it added just bit more sparkle plus blending in with the bow.

Bubble Over

My Favorite Things
Sketch Challenge 
I was inspired by a few things in the sketch ...the circles as bubbles so the Soda Pop Bottles did come to mind. It did held that the inspiration designer Donna used the 'Bubble Over  with Joy' set for an added idea for the bubbles to add the punch to my card. For added fizz the back bubbles are sprayed with shimmer mist,
