The Challenge # 35

The Challenge has an inspiration photo

Here I used PTI Sweet Life along with the jar from Friendship Jar: Summer

My jar was die cut using the dotted vellum.

Some lime sorbet Pretty Pink Posh sequins were used also.

PTI Anniversary Day 4 ~Build a Bouquet Challenge

I love the Sweet Life roses in a vase for a bouquet, I added some sprigs that came from Larger than Life.  I embossed with white powder, then sponged on a bit of spring moss to make them pop...I was going for a 'baby's breathe' look.  Not sure I accomplished it, but I do like the added texture and depth it gives the bouquet.

The card front was dry embossed with the Deco Die cover Plate.

The sentiment is from Words of Comfort,

the vase has an embellishment that was stamped with versamark and then clear embossed on fine linen paper.  You can go HERE to check out the details for the challenge on Nichole's blog.

 

Seize the Birthday ~ No toppings!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

DEAR JODENE,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO YOU!!

Today we are celebrating a birthday of one of our own!

I hope you will stop by Jodene's blog  and give her some birthday wishes.

This is for you Jodene!!

 

I liked the No Sew Quilted card from the Make it Monday (a PTI video) a couple of weeks ago and thought this would make a lovely card with some soft flowers...and make it feminine...at first I was thinking a Mother's Day card, but decided to make this one for the special birthday card today.

I cut each square 1.5 inches, used four pattern pieces and rustic white.

I laid them all out on the diagonal and taped them to another piece of paper with less weight (not computer paper though, that is too thin.)

After all the pieces were adhered, I cut off the excess hanging over the sides.

Then I ran it through the cuttlebug using a PTI hexagon cutting plate, but by using the soft mat I was able to get an impression instead of a cut.

I hope you will go HERE to Seize the Birthday Challenge Blog and play along with us...

This is an "ANYTHING GOES" CHALLENGE!

The card Concept # 4

 the Card Concept  challenge this week is a floral theme.

I pulled out the Sweet Life and Mega Gracious Vases.

I think I would still consider this to be Clean and Simple.

I added some dots from here for the roses to just give a little dimension.
