PDCC #51

The colors at PDCC worked perfectly for a masculine card. I usually struggle with 'guy' designs but this one came together pretty easily. I used the trees from Through the Trees by PTI. And I really liked how Aimes (Amy Wanford), one of the PTI Peeps, got a different look by stamping on patterned paper so I found something in light green with a touch of blue--and not flowery! For the trees I used Color Box ink in a metallic copper and then embossed with clear embossing powder. I added the deer on the inside as a finishing touch. Actually turned out to be quick and easy and I am happy with the results!

Supplies

Stamps: Through the Trees (PTI), Deer is from Martha Stewart

Papers: Kraft cardstock (PTI), Patterned Paper (My Mind's Eye), Colored Cardstock (my stash)

Additional: Spellbinders Square Dies, EK Success Border Punch, Clear Embossed Powder

Whimsical Christmas: PDCC Challenge #50

I love this week's colors and the clean, fresh design in the inspiration photo for the current Play Date Cafe Challenge. So I decided my card needed a lot of white. I also like to color so I chose a house and the funky tree from Wonderfully Whimsical (PTI). Becky has another PTI set being introduced this month and I am so anxious to add it to my collection--it's another tree and it's fabulous! LOVE trees!

The dies are also PTI--Mat Stack 4 and Fillable Frames 7. Together they are perfect for making a frame. The sentiment is from Signature Christmas. The embossing is Cuttlebug-Snowflakes and I added some glitter and rhinestones for sparkle.

Supplies

Stamps: Wonderfully Whimsical, Signature Christmas (PTI)

Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, New Leaf, Berry Sorbet (all PTI)

Additional: Mat Stack 4 and Fillable Frames 7 (PTI Dies), Snowflakes Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Rhinestones, Pearls, White Glitter, Copics
