PTI Paint a Sketch Challenge


Papertrey Ink is celebrating their third anniversary with a number of fun challenges, cool product teasers and great giveaways. Today's challenge is to 'paint a sketch.' Nichole provided the sketch, with the measurements (to make it easier for literal stampers like myself) and then your color palette to 'paint' your sketch was determined by the first letter of your user name. So as Peggysue I fit into the color palette you see listed above.I was so sure I had some smokey shadow somewhere in the house, I spent at least 45 minutes looking for some and then gave up and simply used some gray. I know as soon as I put some in my cart and hit 'buy' I'll find the missing cardstock and ink . . .I blame it all on the kitchen remodeling.

AND right before I took my photograph I got blood on the cream colored ribbon . . . I had cut my finger preparing dinner and that sucker was still leaking. Ugh! So rather than contribute more of my DNA to the card recipient than a person might wish, I put on new ribbon. Aren't you glad? :) Thanks for looking and good luck to everyone playing! There is quite a list already! I have seen some beautiful cards and I hope to make it all the way through the list to look at all of them.

Stamps: PTI Guidelines Two, Giga Guidelines, Damask Designs (sentiment)
Ink: Versamark, Scarlet Jewel, Black, Vintage Cream
Cardstock: Kraft, Gray, Scarlet Jewel, Sweet Blush
Other: cuttlebug folder, Vintage Cream satin ribbon, Sweet Blush ribbon, decorative pin, rose, rhinestones, Fiskars corner punch

LOL, I thought you were going to say that the pink ribbon was tinted with diluted blood! Haha! Hope your finger's doing better. :)

Awesome card, too... Love all the different elements you combined! :)

Don't you hate it when you've finished a card and suddenly something goes wrong?
All the elements work together perfectly to create a very elegant card!

Beautiful. It's such a pretty pallete and the embellishments work so well together. A kitchen remodel seems to affect all areas of the home. We finished the in October and we're still hunting for things that are missing. I'm sure you will find the errant paper, at the least expected moment!

Great card and such a beautiful color combo. Simply elegant!

Sharron said...

This is just beautiful! Great job with the embossing and bling. I think the gray actually adds to the soft look--maybe it was good you couldn't find the darker color. I know I really liked this color combo--great to work with!

Your card is Beautiful! I love the ribbon and how it is tied. Sorry about your finger and the card being done over. This was fun to do and today is another color combo challenge!

Don't you just want to stomp your foot when things like that happen. I love the soft feeling of this card. This is a pretty sentiment.

I don't know....I think the recipient might really appreciate a card with your blood, sweat, and tears (literally) :)

haven't the teasers been delightful!!! my wallet is already cringing though....I love those dies. Gorgeous card...this was my color combo, too; but I didn't find the time to play. Now I can live vicariously through your beautiful creation!

Grace said...

Oh Peggysue I have done that... blood on the card... couldn't remove it like a ribbon! Doesn't it just get ya? LOL! Your card is gorgeous! I love the color combo you name provided! Fun challenge!
