Celebrating PTI

Hello there! I'm just popping in with a quick post with 2 cards for the cebrations that have been going on this past week at Papertrey Ink, who are celebrating their anniversary.

My first card was inspired by Emily's card in the year 2015 overview.


I used two of the few PTI sets that I own to case Emily's card. I 'inked' up the images with Zig markers and lightly spritzed with water before stamping. I used a tiny dot from another set to add a little more interest, since I felt that other tiny flowers would impact the design too much, and then added a sprinkling of even tinier dots using a stylus for stamping. I added a strip of gold glitter tape underneath my stamped panel and added a few Christmassy sequins (PPP) to finish off my design.

I'm also linking up this card at the following challenges:

AAA Cards - #84 Watercolour


SSS Wednesday - Fantastic Florals

Sweet Stampin' - Flowers

Seize the Birthday - Anything goes (no toppings for me)



The inspiration for my second card came from Ashley's card in the year 2014 overview.


I used my Zig markers again, this time inking up and spritzing the back of my butterfly before stamping. After drying my panel with a heat tool, I stamped the butterfly itself and the sentiment in black Archival ink.

I'm also entering my card in the following challenges:

Stamping Sensations - Animal magic

Allsorts - #403 Anything goes

CAS on Sunday - #102 Critters
