Make It Monday #228: Pearlized Blending

Today's card will be entered in the Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink challenge.  This was not an easy one for me.  I am ok with what I got, but not crazy about it.  Check out the the Challenge.  It is called Pearlized blending.  It can be quite gorgeous, so check out what the others have done to achieve the look.
                                                           Here is mine. 

I went with the light colors of blue, pink and gray along with Perfect Pearls in white.  I do like the "brushed" off background, and the look of the flowers "floating" in water.  Sorry, I thought my picture would catch the shimmer. 

Recipe:
GKD card stock Moonlight Fog, White and scraps of Pink
Ink, Mama Elephant Winter, Memento London fog, Berry Sorbet, and Raspberry Fizz
Stamps, Brushed Off, Vintage Linens and Big Hugs by PTI
Clear embossing powder and Perfect Pearls in white

Thanks for checking out my post.  I really do enjoy reading all of your comments if you care to leave one. 

Papertrey October Blog Hop Challenge

Papertrey Ink is challenging you to make a project inspired by the photo here.

 

The colors of Red, White and Green are beautiful Christmas colors.  I was inspired by the tag and the shiny red ornaments as well.  I add some navy and here is the card that I came up with. 

Recipe:

GKD heavy and layering weight white card stock

Swiss Dot embossing folder

Pretty Pink Posh tag die cut twice, One from Red foil paper and the other was sponged with Distressed ink Red Barn

Papertrey Ink stamp set Tinsel and Tags, GKD navy ink, colored with copics

The leaves and red berries are dies from my stash.  

You have until 11:30 EST to make a project and enter it in the Challenge. Better get going!

Power and Spark, Power Poppy Challenge

 

The challenge this month is to used just a bit or piece of a digital or stamped image.  I had a large digital image of the Country Bouquet printed out for sometime, and decided to used just a bit of that.  I choose some soothing colors to used on this card in orange and green and put in on a base of Dusty Sage card stock by GKD.  The image is colored with copic markers and I also used some design paper from my stash.  Here is my card.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I do love to see the comments and they are appreciated.  

Best wishes for a wonderful weekend.  Mine is filled with activities and fun with friends. 

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 251

I must say that I purchase some new stamps and dies from that last MFT release, and I have not had time to play with them.  It was keeping me awake.Seriously.  When this week's sketch challenge came up, I was right there.  I really wanted to use the elf stamp set and die, as he is so cute, but decided to use the Dashing By image instead.

The circle is cut from vellum with the Cross-stitched die and then embossed with a snowflake folder.  I put frozen glitter on it and it really sparkles.  I did the same with the cut out snowflake die.  The rest is stamped and colored.  It was hard to glue down the vellum circle so that you would not see the glue.  I used score tape here.  Well, dinner is in the oven and I think that I will be doing some more crafting.  But no more posting today.  
Thanks so much for dropping in and I love your comments.  

 

Mod Squad Challenge

My BFF Judy Woodland is the host this week at the Mod Squad.  Her challenge is to Flip Flop a design.
The challenge  is to take a stamp you would normally use for one purpose, and use it for another.
I love Judy's design to use a Pansy for a Christmas card.  I went with the obvious way, to use a flower for a wreath design.  In this card, I used Kitchen Sink Stamp set called 3 step Daisy.  I only used 2 steps, as I wanted an "airy" feel. 

 This is a 6 X 6 card on white card stock with a layer of gold and then green.  I have stamped the finish layer with the two step daisy in GKD ink in Jelly Bean Green and Grass Green.  Then stamped the greeting from Simon Says in Gold Embossing powder on to the vellum.  I added the gold stickles for the bow and the ornaments.  
There is still lots of time to enter this fun and challenging idea that Judy had for this week.  I hope to see lots of you there.  
Thanks for stopping by I really enjoy hearing what you have to say.
