Papertrey June Blog Hop Challenge

Yes, I said PTI, as in Papertrey ink! If you have been around here long enough you know I've loved this company from their beginnings. Now I just don't get the time I would like to play with them. Like I said the other day, that changed for me on Thursday. I made a point to put some of my new goodies to work.

 This month's Blog Hop theme was this inspiration photo.

The color on the wall just spoke to me, plus I wanted to try the copic background technique Nichole showed during her June sneek peeks. I'm not sure i did it justice, but I did enjoy working with the fun colors.
The colors I played up are Simply Chartruse, Melon Berry, and Aqua mist. they are all mounted up on a kraft card base to help tone them down. Can you see the fun zebra print on the melon berry square. LOVE that new Animal Prints impression plate. Stamp set is Hello, Friend.


I also recently got the super fun boy set, Game on. Now it has nothing to do with the inspiration phot, except that I used the same marker technique, just on a skinny strip of cs and in grey tones. I again, had to try out the animal print impression plate, this time Cheetah!

Thanks for stopping by! Join me to see all the wonderful PTI creations today!

  19. Lisa, what a lovely inspiration card! I particularly like how you used the Copic technique on just one panel, instead of the whole background--very effective! Gorgeous color combo, and the Kraft as base is just right! Love the gradient strip on the boy's card too--the monochromatic version of the technique is so cool too! Happy June Hopping!

  20. Wonderful cards! You've got that technique perfectly and it is fun to see how it works on a feminine and masculine card!

  21. Lisa, I love the background with the Copics. I thought the same thing when I saw the inspiration (about Nichole's cards during the countdown) - however, I'm lacking on Copics (that is more accurately stated as, "I don't have any" LOL) And I really like the boy card - both the cheetah IP and the marker technique in greys.
