MIM # 75 Roll The Dice

This week PTI has a neat challenge. One has to fill out a form created by Erin Lincoln, roll a dice and create a card based upon the # rolled and the corresponding element recorded on the form. Instead of rolling a dice, I used a number generator on my phone. Here's a shot of my completed form. In the image category, I  put stamp sets that needed more love. Coming up with color combinations was the hardest part for me.

  This is what the number generator decided:
            Orientation: #4 Vertical
             Layout #6 
             Stamp Set Image: Lock and Key (what I was hoping would not come up)
             Stamp set Sentiment : Delightful Dahlia (I think I am in trouble)
             Color Combo: Winter wisteria, Kraft, Spring Rain, Simply Charteuse (I love this!)
             Embellishment: Button

And the resulting card:     As my granddaughter would say:   Ta  Daaaaa

The only other dies I used were the Striped IP and the Limitless Layers and Tag Dies

 To solve my sentiment dilemma, I selectively stamped the single word "love" from "I just love you" in Delightful Dahlia and added "...is the key that opens the heart" from the Lock & Key Set. Since the sentiment is so small, I could not get a clear picture. This was a neat challenge. I really enjoyed it. I hope you get a chance to play along. Thanks for stopping by.

MIM Triple Play

     This week's MIM sponsoredf by PTI is called "A La Carte". Nicole provided a summary of all 46 videos posted in 2011. The challenge is to pick one of the weekly posts one did not get a chance to play along with and to create a card/project using that technique or tutorial.
     My daughter's brother-in-law graduated with his Masters Degree in December. Given the hustle & bustle of the holiday, making a congratulation card was put on the back burner. When the Lock & Key set was released in December, I knew this would be the perfect stamp set. Since I didn't have a stamp with the image of a book, I knew I wanted to use some type of text on the card. 
   Now I am not an overachiever trying to combine 3 techniques in 1 card. It just turned out that way. I never had the opportunity to enter a card for MIM # 13 Ipression Plate Tricks 2,  because I didn't have a blog at the time.  However, I did try this technique & loved it. I made a Christmas card  using an IP with a die. 
      I just love how the woodgrain IP lends such a masculine look to a card. So I paired it up with the mat stack #1 die which I find to be very versatile.
                        

     Because I wanted to add some color to the woodgrain impression I used the MIM # 38 Brayer & IP Technique.  I had used this technique before with this card..   MIM #10 Masking with dies was not a technique I used before, so I was eager to try it with the mat stack #1 die. I propped the key up doubling the dimensional. I guess I could have included a 4th technique if I had made the key with chipboard. (hehe)

    

     Overall, I am happy with this card. However, if I were to redo it, I would stamp the text in black vs the sepia I used.  I can't wait until PTI releases their chocolate ink.

     Thank you for stopping by. Tomorrow I have a card using Mojo Monday's latest sketch.
