Papertrey Posse Challenges cards

I found the Papertrey Posse challenge blog a while ago through the PTI forum and did the first blog hop challenge ages ago here and then completely forgot about checking back for some more, and low and behold they also do petite challenges during the month as well, so I've gone back through them to catch up and these are all of them so far I think including today's one! Be warned this is a very long post, but I wanted them to all be together!

So in Challenge order... For Petite Challenge #1 you had to use Summer Sunrise, Terracotta Tile and Enchanted Evening. Now at the time of making this card I only had Summer Sunrise DSP out of the 3 colours so had to substitute them with SU colours instead. (I do now have Summer Sunrise and Enchanted Evening cardstock and buttons - just need to get some ribbons and ink when the new inks come out!) This card also uses Mojo #12 for the layout.

Petite Posse Challenge #2 was called Fabulous Folds and you had to make a card using folding in a different way from the usual fold a card base in half! I chose to make a middle step card - I love the little scenes you can create with this type of card. I also used CC145 to use Wild Wasabi, Elegant Eggplant and So Saffron.

Blog Hop Challenge #2 was to use Ocean Tides, Aqua Mist, Melon Berry and Dark Chocolate. I don't have Melon Berry so I used Groovy Guava and I used Chocolate Chip instead of Dark Chocolate as well.

Petite Posse Challenge #3 was called Back to the Beginning - you have to say where your love of PTI began and what your first stamp set was and then to use it. I discovered PTI as with most other stamp companies on SCS about 2 years ago or so. I fell in love with a card using the Women of Life set, so I bought that along with Piece of Cake and Little Lady, some Berry Sorbet and Aqua Mist cs, ink and ribbon. Unfortunately that first purchase started a long addiction to PTI and I now have a nice collection of stamps, ribbon, buttons, inks, felt, impressions plates and dies building up! I love the style of their stamps - they do both solid and outline stamps so if I feel like colouring in then I can and if I don't I don't have to! Their DT is just to die for - the samples they make are just amazing! And to think they are only 3 years old as well - they really have come so far in such a short space of time!

Anyway back to the card! I used Little Lady on this one and combined it with Mojo #1 and CC138 to use Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron and Real Red.
