Two Cards for Three Challenges



I have my second card for this week's RetroSketches RS#40 because I just loved this sketch.  It seems the perfect way to get some patterned papers out of my stash and onto some cards.  I jumped onto the black chalkboard bandwagon for this card, and used a combination of white ink, white embossing powder, and a white colored pencil.





My next card is for both Dynamic Duos #31 and Less is More LIM#96, which are both red and green color challenges.  Who wouldn't want to receive a cozy sweater like the one on this card?




I am auditioning a new red ink for a match to PTI Pure Poppy.  I love the PTI Pure Poppy ink, but they are not selling the refills at this point, and who knows when that will change.  So, I will be switching to SU Real Red and/or Memento Love Letter, which is what I used on this card.  I think both are pretty good matches.


Supplies Used (PTI):
Get Well
Stamps:  Sentiment Signs
Paper:  Kraft, True Black, Basic Grey Out of Print
Ink:  Colorbox Frost White
Other:  White Embossing Powder, White Prisma Color Pencil, Twinery Twine

Warmest Winter Wishes
Stamps:  WPlus9 Fairisle Backgrounds, Winter Wishes
Paper:  Rustic Cream, Simply Chartreuse Patterns
Ink:  Simply Chartreuse, Memento Love Letter & Grey Flannel
Other:  Sweater Die, Aida Impression Plate


Thanks for Visiting
