Paper Dolls - Challenge #14
Hello! This week's Papertrey Paper Dolls challenge was issued by C. She asked us to do two things:
(1) use a color that you would not typically use and (2) use a technique on your card that you have not used in a while.
The technique that I chose to use (other than hand-cutting the kites which I rarely do) was to mix patterned papers. I am not the greatest at doing this but Lindsay has inspired me to give it a try again! She is the queen of mixing and matching patterned papers! For the second part of the challenge I chose to pick papers that I could use Berry Sorbet with. I don't know why but I rarely reach for this color. I didn't use it tons on this card, but I did incorporate it like was asked.
The kites are popped up on pop dots to give dimension and all of the clouds are distressed with PTI's Tea Dye inks to match the background paper.
Also, I just had to share with you another new ring I made (sorry if you are tired of these). I know I say this a lot but I really like this one! I listed it on Etsy and it sold in a few hours so I've relisted it again. You can see more images of this ring and purchase it in your size at my Etsy store Jen's Ink Spot.
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this card (and ring)! Have a wonderful day!
Supplies (all PTI unless noted)
Stamps: Up, Up & Away
Paper: Aqua Mist, October Afternoon's Cherry Hill (kites), My Mind's Eye (grid), PTI Library Ledger (clouds)
Ink: Chocolate Brown, Berry Sorbet, Simply Chartreuse, Sunflower Palette, Tea Dye Duos
Other: Cloud Dies, circle punch, EK Success Border Punch

Christmas in July
Hello everyone!
Jill of Anjillic Creations is hosting a Christmas in July challenge! How fun! This has been on my to do list all month and I figured I had better get after it since the month is coming to a close quickly (how is that anyway?).
She wants everyone to join in and play along, so if you would like the chance to win a gift certificate to PTI (!!) then hop on over to her blog and enter your card!
I had to turn to my inspiration book for this one! I really don't have many Christmas stamps in my supply right now. I've sold them all and haven't bought any to replace them. So, I flipped through my book to figure out what images I could use and make them Christmasy. And, a few pages in, I found the PTI "Round & Round" set. Wala!
Here's my entry:
Have I said how much I LOVE the Linen Impression Plate by PTI? It turns smooth cardstock into textured beauty! I used it on my Ripe Avacado piece and it finished off the card nicely. (I did stamp the sentiment first and then textured it.)
Instead of stamping a sentiment in the Mat Stack 3 die space I tied a ribbon. I really like this look.
Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget if you'd like to play along, visit Jill's blog and enter your card! Thanks Jill for hosting this fabulous and fun contest!
Supplies (all PTI unless noted)
Stamps: All Booked Up, Round & Round, Holiday Wishes
Paper: Pure Poppy, Ripe Avacado, Rustic White
Ink: Pure Poppy & True Black, Palette Landscape
Other: Linen Impression Plate, Mat Stack Die 3, Red Pearls, Pop Dots, Ribbon

Funky Swirl Button Ring
This one is my FAVORITE!! I just love it! It is a one inch button but aren't those colors and swirls so much FUN!! And...the BEST part is that the button on top is from my favorite PTI color collection Hawaiian Shores!! LOVE!!
Blue Shine Button Ring
This button is gorgeous and so uniquely shaped!
Chocolate Caramel Button Ring
This ring is neutral so it can be worn with so many different outfits! I've been looking for the perfect caramel button to put on top of the chocolate/caramel swirled button for months now and finally found the perfect one to compliment it!
Aqua Flower Painted Button Ring
This one speaks for itself. Gorgeous and unique.
Green Painted Wire Button Ring
The button is chartreuse green and features recessed green-painted flowers on it.

Coral & Clear Wire Wrapped Ring
This is a follow-up to my most popular ring the aqua & clear wire wrapped ring. This is the same style, just in a pink coral. It is such a gorgeous color!
There are lots of other rings in my Etsy shop, Jen's Ink Spot, to see too! I'd love if you stopped by and took a look!
Thanks for visiting today! Have a wonderful day!
