Make it Monday #140 & Festive Friday

This week Ashley Cannon Newell provides the challenge for PTI's Make It Monday #140: Ink Pad Designs. I started by swiped a few different colors of ink onto cardstock, trying to figure out how to use this idea for a Christmas card or two.

The rounded shape of the PTI ink pads created some interesting swirly designs and my first thought was to go with a snowflake card, but instead went with sequins.




I love the PTI one Liner dies!




The inked panel is cut narrow to leave room for a trio of jingle bells.




This second card is for the Festive Friday Challenge 21.



I've used the aqua & red color combination a few times of the last couple of weeks - it really is one of my favorites!


This card is super simple - it started with the patterned paper and some paper scraps. The snowflakes extend from the paper and the simple die cut provides the sentiment. I need a number of flat cards for mailing, so didn't add any bulk to this one.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

    Both beauties, Jacquie! Also bought the deer paper, love the colors and design! Your ink swiping
    looks like flurries, and the sequins like snow! Perfect effect!

    Both cards are gorgous! Love that soft swirly background, it reminds me of the way the ice looks when a pond freezes. So pretty!!

    Both of these cards are so pretty! LOVE the jingle bells. I really like the look of swirling the ink pads. The paper for the Peace die cut is perfect too. The colors on the next card are my favorite. The deer paper is sweet... Just perfect for Christmas!
