4PM: 1st Anniversary Tradition- Paper, presented by Rebecca Luminarias

For this challenge Rebecca Luminarias  asked that we create paper embellishments to decorate a package or gift. Her video was super easy to follow and visually inspiring.


My entry for the challenge used Papertrey Ink cardstock - aqua mist and raspberry fizz. The box is also from Papertrey Ink.  I think it is called the recipe box.

Thank you for stopping by to check out my entries for Stamp a faire 2017.

2PM: Warm-up Challenge

It is lovely to be back blogging after a long break. I have to give all the credit to Papertrey Ink's annual Stamp a faire weekend of challenges and fun. It has motivated and inspired me to spend some time inking up some stamps and get creative. Make sure and check out all the fun here
The weekends activities starts off with a warm up challenge where we have to pick one of the photos with the colour combinations and make a project using at least one Papertrey Ink products.




2PM: Warm-up Challenge

I used bright buttercup cardstock for the card base and Papertrey inks bright buttercup, vintage jadette and aqua mist inks on watercolour paper. The butterfly is from the You are a Masterpiece stamp set and the sentiment is from Pretty Peonies stamp set using Stazon jet black ink

SAF 2016: FAREWELL

Sending many thanks to Papertrey Ink for another wonderful Stamp A Faire event. As always it was a very well thought out and presented free online resource for everyone to enjoy. A special thank you to Nichole Heady, all the designers and those behind the scenes at Papertrey Ink who put so much time and effort into each of the classes. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

SAF 2016: COLOUR BLOCKING WITH LEXI DALY

10 PM: COLOUR BLOCKING WITH LEXI DALY

For this class Lexi Daly inspired us with a video on how to create our own Andy Warhol inspired pop art card. This is a great technique for using lots of colours on a card to make a strong vibrant image.

I used a floral image from Brushed blooms by Papertrey Ink. Inks, dies and cardstock all from PTI.

SAF 2016: Watercolour like a master with Kay Miller

8PM: WATERCOLOUR LIKE A MASTER WITH KAY MILLER

This super video tutorial was given by Kay Miller. It is hard to believe that this is the first time this talented lady has ever presented a video tutorial. It was excellent. Clear, straightforward and very easy to follow. What an lovely accent. I could listen to her all day.

Kay said, "I am going to show you how you can create beautiful watercolor works of art on your cards, with just a few simple stamping supplies and dye inks. With this easy technique you’ll be able to use many of the stamp sets and inks you already have on hand, to mimic the lovely watercolor paintings of the Masters!"

She sure did. I love my cards I made using these techniques.

All the stamps, inks and cardstock are by Papertrey Ink.

SAF 2016: Pointillism play with Heather Nichols

6PM: POINTILLISM PLAY WITH HEATHER NICHOLS

Heather Nichols a super senior designer for Papertrey Ink presented this class. It was a real pleasure to take and follow. I would never have thought of using a tiny little dot stamp as a painting tool. It was a relaxing way to ink up an embossed image and it is something I intend to again.

For my card I used Spring Hills stamp set with various inks from Papertrey Ink.  Cardstock and die used are also from PTI.

SAF 2016: Mastering drips and splatters with Lizzie Jones

4 PM: MASTERING DRIPS AND SPLATTERS WITH LIZZIE JONES

For this class  Lizzie Jones a young vibrant designer over at Papertrey  Ink presented Jackson Pollock and his work and inspired us through her video tutorial to get messy with our paints and inks. This was much easier for me than I thought it would be. Lizzie coaxed me into her world by suggesting to those of us who don't like dark inky fingers to try the colour yellow. Once I had started I pulled out that enchanted evening dark navy blue re inker by Papertrey Ink and splattered away anyway.

My card  uses hibiscus burst, enchanted evening and aqua mist re-inkers. Sentiment from Art with Heart Stamp set and card base enchanted evening. All by Papertrey Ink.
