Create Along With Us - September 2017

For this month's Papertrey Ink's Create Along With Us challenge, I chose this card by  Betsy Veldman to emulate.

I don't have any of the Beautiful Berries sets, so went with Peaceful Pinecones.  I used my stencil brush to coloe the background with Aqua Mist Ink. I also used Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate, and Smokey Shadow inks. The die I used was the Mix & Mat Postal die.  

Create Along With Us : July 2017

Every month, Papertrey Ink has a Create Along With Us challenge during their new release.  This is the first time I've joined in.  There were so many inspirational cards that I loved, but I decided to make a tag that was inspired my one of  Michelle Leone's tags.

This is what I came up with:

I loved the graphic black and white background with the bold pop

of color from the floral image.  I don't have a diamond background stamp, so used an embossing folder that I inked up with with Smokey Shadow ink, then placed a piece of white cardstock on it and ran it through the machine. I then die cut a tag from the Tag Sale # 10 die, and than used some Raspberry colored twineI had in my stash to make a loop.

I used one of the Floral Fusion flower images, and inked it in Raspberry Fizz, Lemon Tart, and Green Parakeet inks. I fussy cut the flower head, since I couldn't figure out which one of the dies went with that particular image.  Time to do more organizing.  Ha ha.   The banner came from Tag Sale 10 as well.
