Some PTI cards

I made a few more cards today with some of my PTI stamps and thought I'd share them with you all.

This first one uses a new set that came this week - the only stamp set that wasn't a Christmas one in the box! I used Taylored Expressions sketch #130 for the layout and Just Add Ink's #37 to use Rose Red, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Always Artichoke. Although I'm not a fan of orange as such I love it when paired with pink and this was no exception. I'm also entering it for SCS Hope You Can Cling To Challenge #3 to make a card without a sentiment. SCS have decided to dedicate a month of daily challenges to make cards for the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and I hope to be able to do every one of them and send all the cards I make off to them to raise money for this fab cause!

Recipe:

Stamps: Flutterby Friend, Turning A New Leaf 

Papers: Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Always Artichoke, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP

Inks: Rose Red, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Always Artichoke

Accessories: Rose Red 1" stitched grosgrain ribbon, Pumpkin Pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, corner rounder, clear gems from Papermania

My next one is for Papertake Weekly's sketch, SCS Hope You Can Cling Challenge 2A to create a pink holiday card. I love using pastel colours for Christmas cards and this design is definitely going to be my cards for this year - I jut love it! It's also for Sweet Stampin's #46 to use punches or die cuts. I thought I'd enter this one in A Passion For Papertrey's square card challenge as well.
