Enjoy Your Day card for PTI May Blog Hop

It's Blog Hop time and this month PTI has a stunning inspiration piece!

I busted out my Lukas water colors and made a stencil from PTI's Chevron Cover Plate, so  I could use it to make rainbow stripes. I then pulled out my Wet Paint sentiments to create my sentiment.  Here's my card:

Be Merry card for MIM!

I'm back with a card for Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday #248: Ink Blending through Die Cut Masks. I love the look of ink blending but struggle with it at times. It is a technique I am still trying to perfect, so this week's challenge was a good one to work on that. I went for a one layer Christmas card this time.This card was my second attempt because I was almost done my card and decided to add something and it just looked horrible and could not be undone or fixed, so back to square one and better success!

Here is my card:

Another mother's day card for OCC Clear & Sheer Day 4

It's the last day of Online Card Classes' Clear & Sheer class! Day 4 featured more techniques for both acetate and vellum.  I went with using an embossing folder on acetate - LOVE THIS technique! I've done this before on vellum but did not like the cracking it left but acetate works so well!

Here's also a detail pic to see the embossing better:

This was such a fun class - as they all are!

I am also submitting this card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.
