Raspberry Suite #6

This challenge surprised me, because I ended up really liking this color combination.  At first, I thought it screamed '80's, but I suppose it all depends on the proportions of color.  I had a lot of fun, and I made 2 cards.  I think I might even make more...

For the first card I used all kinds of circles and dots from various sets.  I've been waiting to use those concentric ones from PTI's Father Knows Best for a really long time.  I like how it turned out.  I also traced a Maya Road flower onto Aqua Mist cardstock and cut it out.

I spent a lot of time on this one, trying to get it right.  What I had in my head didn't translate exactly, but I still like it.  Those are Maya Road flowers, and I just tied a knot in the ribbon, then pushed it through the center hole.

Card #1:
Paper: PTI White, Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist
Ink: PTI Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist, Fresh Snow, SU Chocolate Chip
Stamps: PTI Father Knows Best, Women of Life, Polka Dot Basics, Everyday Classics
Other: PTI Dark Chocolate Satin Ribbon

Card #2:
Paper: PTI White, Dark Chocolate, Berry Sorbet, Bitty Dot
Ink: PTI Berry Sorbet
Stamps: PTI Friends 'Til the End
Other: Maya Road Flowers, PTI Aqua Mist twill and Fresh Snow satin ribbons, dimensional tape

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
