PTI Make It Monday #121: Colored Vellum Flowers

I had so many stamp sets that I thought would work great with this week's Papertrey Ink Make-it-Monday challenge, that I ended up making 4 cards!  My favorite card is the gumdrop one :)  I am actually impressed I was able to pull off this week's challenge, as my heat tool is on the fritz.  Thankfully we are in the US in July for a family reunion, and I can stock up on all things scrapbooking!


Here's a close-up of each card.  For this one, I wasn't sure how the black ink and white embossing would work together, but it was fine!!  I used Stazon just in case.
 

This was is so-so, basically I wanted to see how the butterflies turned out.  I went for an ombre effect, but it's difficult to tell, as so much of the butterfly is embossed white.


I like how this one turned out...though I mess up the sewing in the bottom right.  At that point, I wasn't going to re-do the card though!!


Finally this one!  I was excited to match the rainbow thread with this colorful card, but in the end, the thread looked a bit dark.  The backside actually looks much better.  Next time I'll try using white on the bobbin!!

This is Emily's take on the Papertrey Ink Make-it-Monday challenge this week.  My girl did this card fast!!  She was already coloring her embossed images while I was still die-cutting stamps :)

PTI Make It Monday #120: Overlapping Ombre

Emily and I loved this week's Make-it-Monday from Papertrey Ink!!  Of course, technique was super easy, but never something I would have thought to do on my own!  That's why I really enjoy these challenges....stretches me to try new things!!!

PTI Make It Monday #119: Flagged Borders

We had a craft day today for the PTI MIM flag border challenge!  Emily, our friend Lauren, and I all had to much fun trying out this technique!  Of course, the craft room was a DISASTER afterward, but we got it all cleaned up!!  I enjoyed playing with the butterfly and text background stamp sets, which a friend just brought me from the US!
