PTI Blog Hop - October 2015

The challenge for this month's blog hop is to create a project inspired by the photo.

I straight away thought of Christmas... so I made a Christmas card. I used quite a few stamps from different sets to make this card. I used the smallest bloom from 'Christmas Poinsettia', one flourish from 'Fancy Flourishes', another flourish from 'Holiday Photo Finishers' and the sentiment from 'Think Big Favorites #20'. I just love traditional Christmas colours!

I also made this gift card holder which I CASEd from Claire Daly.

Masculine with a touch of sparkle

Made this masculine card with a touch of glitter to add some sparkle. Entering this card in two challenges:
Addicted to CAS - Sparkle
Less is More - Masculine

CAS(E) This Sketch #143 and Color Throwdown #363

Always helps to have a sketch and know the colours to use.

The colours are much paler and closer to the CTD colours IRL...they brightened up when I touched up with Photoshop.

Smile

I used inspiration from two challenges for my card:
Color Throwdown #361 and
CASology - circles

Birthday Balloon

Made this card with two challenges in mind:
 Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes
 and
 Just Us Girls - Balloons

I am so in love with Tim Holtz's Bird Crazy and Crazy Things stamps. Hope to "dress up" some more birds soon.

Card Concept - Daisies

Such a pretty inspiration picture for the challenge at Card Concept. I was also inspired by this gorgeous card by Jennifer Rzasa. I really don't enjoy colouring or fussy cutting...so I'm trying to find ways of using line stamps without colouring them in or cutting them out. I think my card fits in the Clean and Graphic section this week. Never sure what my style is.

Less is More - Green and Gold

This week's challenge at Less is More is a colour challenge and it is Green and Gold.
I decided to go with a Christmas theme for this card.
