Poppy Seed Challenge 2

whew! Finally I'm able to make a card and get something new to my poor ignored blog. I put a quick card together for Lisa's Poppy Seed Challenge. This time we had to use light moss, buttons and polka dots. Since my new PTI goodies have yet to arrive, I had to pull out some old sets.

Now off to put something together for PTI's blog challenge on the 25th.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Beautiful Blooms, Mega Mixed Messages
Card Stock: Spring Moss, Hibiscus Burst, Dark Chocolate
Ink: Hibiscus Burst, Dark Chocolate
Patterned Paper: Bitty Dot Basics
Other: EK Success border punch, Stampin' Up Oval and Scalloped Oval punch, circle punch, vintage buttons, white Signo pen

Compose A Card 4

I try to participate in at least one challenge a week. It helps me grow as a stamper by forcing me to try new colors, layouts and techniques. And it gives me a chance to put some ink to new stamps.

Here's my entry for the Compose a Card challenge. It's my first time for this one but it won't be the last. Lots of fun! Sorry the black in my photo looks a bit funky. It's much better in real life - I guess I need to work on my photography skills!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Turning a New Leaf, Mega Mixed Messages
Cardstock: Ripe Avocado, True Black, White
Patterned Paper: Black & White Basics
Punches: Stampin' Up oval and oval scallop
Other: Ripe Avocado Saddle Stitch ribbon, vintage buttons, Copic marker
