Papertrey Ink ~ Make It Monday #38 Brayer Techniques Challenge

I've been wanting to play along with Papertrey Ink's challenges...but didn't have any of their products...Until now!!...so I was able to play along this week!!


Here is the card I made for the Brayer Techniques challenge...sorry for the bad photo...it was after dark when I took the pic and the lighting was bad!!:

and a close-up:

I haven't played with my brayer for along time...I really enjoyed making this card...

My card base is Gina K Designs cardstock...I embossed a piece of white cardstock with an embossing folder and then used a brayer and ink to add color...I cut part of the front away on both of the card base and the embossed piece...I used a piece of vellum and made a window...This took a few tries to get it just right...but it was worth the extra effort!!...I used a glitter pen to add glitter to the white swirls on the cardstock...and tied some blue Tulle around the card front...

Using the Flower Fusion #1 Stamp set from PTI...I stamped one of the flowers and the stem six times...I used the Flower Fusion #1 die to cut out the flowers...and cut the stems out by hand...The stems were glued together back to back...and attached to one set of the flowers...I used pop dots to layer the flowers together...a Quickie Glue pen was used to add MS glitter to the centers of the flowers...I added a strip of score tape to the top and bottom of the vellum piece...and attached the flowers and stems the back side of the front of the card...

The sentiment is from Unity Stamps...and I thought I was finished with the card...I didn't like the way the flowers looked through the vellum...and the glitter on the center flower wasn't completely dry and smooshed onto the vellum...so I decided to add Brads to the center of the flowers on the front...now it's done!!...I think!!!...LOL!!

Have a great night!!

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES

Here are the cards I made for this round:


The first card I made I used the awesome turkey image by  Sew Many Cards

and a close-up:

That turkey is just too cute!!

I used Kraft cardstock for the base...the patterned paper is from DCWV...I colored the turkey image with copics...the little things that look like dew drops...I made using a hot glue gun...and then colored them with Copics...I tried coloring them by putting them in a little baggie and then adding alcohol ink refills...but the colors weren't very vibrant...so I colored the backs using Copics....I added glossy accents to the hat and boots...the buckle on the hat was cut out of "metal" paper and then attached to a little piece of ribbon...I also added glossy accents to the pie pan...I wrapped some baker's twine around the card and tied a bow on the left side...

Here is the second card I made:

and a close-up:

This image is from Digis by Phooka  and also too cute!!

I was only going to add glitter to the hat...but I just couldn't resist glittering the whole thing!!...and I just love those googly eyes...all of the glitter except for the white on the hat is from Martha Stewart...the patterned paper and ribbon are from a CardMaker's kit...I had so much fun making this card, I might have to print the image again and see what else I can do with it!!

That's it for today!...I have a couple more calendars that I need to finish!

Have a great night!!

and a close-up:

This beautiful image is from Just Inklined Digital Stamps...You should go check out the awesome stamps they offer!!

The card base is Bazzill...the PP is from sei's Happy Birthday...the green strip along the bottom is Bazzill Bling...

I had a lot of fun with this image!!...I colored the image with Bic Mark-it all Markers and Sharpies!!...Gina K of Gina K Designs has done a couple of videos showing how to use Bic markers with a Copic blender pen...I really like the way the flower turned out...I used four different colors of markers..and the blender pen on the flower petals...I used Martha Stewart micro beads for the flower center and on the body of the butterfly...I colored the butterfly and the leaves twice and cut them out...popped them up on pop dots for some dimension...I also used some Martha Stewart glitter on the butterfly...the sentiment is from a CardMakers kit club...I used Making Memories black ink...

The pearls and ribbon are from my stash...

Thanks for stopping by...and have a great night!!

Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas card that I made.

You can't see it in the photo, but the PP is shimmery and has a little glitter on it. More paper from my stash. I don't know who the manufacturer for this one is. I used my nesties to cut out the two oval and then used my Quickie glue pen to put glue around the edges of the ovals. I used Martha Stewart glitter around the edges. I love this glitter!! I read online somewhere, can't remember where, that Swiffer sheets work great for cleaning up glitter. I had been using a lint roller for messy spills and such, but these Swiffer sheets work WONDERFUL! Oh, back to the card...I used a Fiskers border punch for the bottom of the PP. I then attached self-adhesive half pearls along the bottom and on the two upper corners. The snowflake is from Spare Parts, I think...I stamped Merry Christmas on the inside to finish off the card. The card base is Bazzill Bling.

I only have a few more cards to make. I need to finish off the cards and box for my mom, I "think" I am going to try to make ornaments for my son and his new wife and a pretty box to put them in. We'll see just what I am able to get done...LOL!

Well, have a great day!
