PTI September Blog Hop and Mojo Monday 207

This is my first participation in the Papertrey Blog Hop.  This month we have to use the inspiration photo below.

 I am also using this week's Mojo Monday 207 sketch. 

I started with making my background paper using a stamp from Mad for Plaids and multiple ink colors.  Lately I've made lots of different patterned paper using inspiration from the PTI Make it Mondays.  The snow man and tree are from Holiday Tags.  I colored them using Copics and a Tombow marker.  I've had lots of fun finding ways to use the Snowflake die trio.  For this card, I embossed it with white embossing powder and accented it with a button and baker's twine.  I hope you enjoy.

 I don't think I've ever made a card with as many layers as the one above.  I had to balance out all that layering with a clean and simple card.  This card is also inspired by the PTI Blog Hop photo.  In this card, I made 4 rows of colors using Washi Tape (summer collection).  I added a simple sentiment from Celebrate in Style.

Mojo Monday 186

The focal of my MOJO186 card is an image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I love the images from Maurie J. Manning at Mo's Digital Pencil.  I colored in the image with Copics. Since this is a masculine card, I used twine in both locations instead of ribbon as shown in the sketch and eliminated the scallops.

Supplies:

Paper: Stampers Select (PTI), Smokey Shadow (PTI), Orange Zest (PTI) and Papaya (a|s))

Stamps: The Big Guy Golfing (Mo's Digital Pencil), Swingin' Day (a|s)

Ink: Smokey Shadow (PTI)

Mojo Monday 181

My new blog friend Keva pointed me to some card challenges to try.  One of those was Mojo Monday.  This week is challenge #181.

I had an idea come to mine when i first saw the sketch but it didn't come together the way I had pictured it.   I changed my approached.  Instead of throwing it out, i took my Top Note die from SU! and reused a portion of it.  Here is my final card.  I have to admit that i really like the color combo.

Supplies:

Paper:  Stampers Select, Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, Dark Chocolate (PTI), Distressed Dots (PTI), 72&Sunny (WRMK)

Stamps: Signature Greetings (PTI)

Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Chamomile Tea Dye (PTI)

Other: Ribbon (PTI), Buttons (PTI), Top Note Die (SU!), Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Black Hemp (CTMH)
