The Card Concept begins a new challenge today, very timely,
called: Spring Has Sprung.
Crisp white, bright sunny yellow, with a few color accents, guided my choice to
center a card around Easter, in a favorite style: Clean & Layered.
I was recently introduced to Lindy's Magicals, during a craft weekend (thank you Marcia Hill),
and created a bg for my birds with them, and a scrap left over from a die cut.
Marcia demonstrated her Magicals, and I was hooked! You never know what will
turn out after the powder dries, and these little jars are filled with iridescent magic!
With the exception of the Magicals, and some sequins, my Clean and Layered card uses all PapertreyInk stamps & dies.
Inks are another new find from the Craft Weekend, Catherine Pooler Inks.
(Thank you, Colleen, Linda & Marcia!)
You will find links to each PTI product at the end of the post.
Hope you'll be inspired to play along.
A list of styles, and much more inspiration by the designers can be found on
The Card Concept Challenge Blog.
Happy Crafting!
Lindy's Stamp Gang: Magicals (Amazon)
Inks: Catherine Pooler, Tiki Torch, Tiara, Mint to Be, Aquatini, Skylight
Oh Nancy...this is BEAUTIFUL!! I'm so happy you like the Lindy's Magical powders...they just really take a background up another notch or two, don't they?!! And I will never get tired of seeing those Brushed Birds...SO sweet! Can't believe you got the whole bundle of CP inks...that's quite an investment, but they are wonderful inks! (I have 27 of the 40 colors she has available and LOVE them!!) Hope you are doing well...miss you something fierce already!!

ReplyDeleteStunning card, Nancy! Love the backgrounds, I have to admit to hoarding them right now, but will have to break down and use them to show them off...have you already made a purchase? *wink I came home and purchased a few things from that weekend with you girls...BTW, wonderful article by PTI! And I miss all the girls and can hardly wait for our next community building adventure!
