PTI Anniversary Challenge: Day 1 Sketches

February 6th, 2018

         Yesterday was day 1 of PTI's 11th anniversary celebration. To kick off the celebration, the design team was introduced. Each member of the design team picked one of their favorite projects from last year and created a sketch to go with it, Of course, the challenge was to create a project using one of the sketches provided.

      I just love the work of Melissa Phillips. She is one of my favorite designers. I try to replicate her work at times, but I don't do her justice.  Here is her favorite pick.

  This is her sketch, followed by my creation.

  I pretty much used her color combinations. I added diagonal score lines on the Aqua Mat; however, they are not visible in the photo. They really added some texture and depth to the card. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

First Double Challenge of 2013

I'm on a roll in 2013. I have been able to spend some time each day in my craft room. Since I am going on a cruise later this month, I know I'll be needing some thank you cards for the wait staff and room attendant. So I decided to create this card for two challenges.
     The first one is the ColourQ challenge.

     I used the palette Deanna  chose.  

The 2nd challenge is the Cas-u-al Friday's Thank you card challenge.

   

Here's my card.

 I fussy cut the stamped image after coloring it with my Copics. (Y21, R29, BG15, YG25)  The sentiment was stamped first with VersaMagic Turquoise Gem and then with PTI Simply Chartreuse.

A New Year with Retrosketches

  I decided to start the New Year off right by joining in the Retrosketches' latest challenge using this sketch.

 I used the newly Released Quilled Elegance Stamp set from PTI. I think this is a first for me; using a stamp set before the next release! I fell in love with this set the moment I saw it.

  An up close shot of the piece I fussy cut.

I love the color combination of Simply Chartreuse, Spring Rain and Winter Wisteria. Just wonder if I should add the little stamp image from this set to the purple panel? What do you think?
