CPS 153

As part of the PTI anniversary celebrations, Papertrey Ink has teamed up with CPS this week.

Here is the sketch:


And my card:


I used Heart Prints to create a background with the words and the tiny heart using Hibiscus Burst and Sweet Blush ink. The heart background on the bottom is from Background Basics: Hearts, stamped in Taken with Teal by SU! (Please PTI, I need a turquoise!!)

Peace on Earth

Hello everyone!

I'm back today with another Christmas card. I realized that the background of this tag stamp is the same as one of the Retro backgrounds, so I designed this card to use both! I followed the Card Positioning Sketch 132 .



I stamped the background on Vintage Cream cardstock using Antique Linen ink and colored each circle with the three Copic markers that matched the PTI colors.

Thanks for looking!

RSCC #15 and CPS #130

So I worked really hard on this card...starting it as a smaller size and then resizing the pieces for 5x7 card...but after all my work, I don't like it! I'm not sure what exactly I don't like...



I used a whole lot of stamps on this card and followed the CPS Sketch #130 as well as Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #15 . And this also qualifies for our Papertrey Princess Challenge given by Lee to use a sketch.

Thanks for stopping by and hope this card won't scare you away in the future!!
