PTI Make It Monday #32: Stamping with Acrylic Paint

Here's my take on PTI's Make It Monday #32:  Stamping with Acrylic Paint.  I tried 3 different variations:  stamping in solid color, stamping off with solid color, and blending colors.  I love how the blended paints turned out!

I had always thought of acrylic paints in very basic colors.  I was pleasantly surprised to find new Martha Stewart acrylic paints (or at least new in our town) in some great colors.  I picked up a few more to try this technique again because I really love the coverage of the paint.  I was a little freaked out when I tried to clean my stamps though.  It took a bit of elbow grease with a soft scrub pad to get all of the paint off.

PTI Make It Monday #31: Creating Backgrounds With Non-background Stamps

Hello,

Here's my take on the latest PTI Make It Monday challenge #31.  The background is made from a tag frame from Boxes, Bags and Tags, one of my earliest PTI purchases.  The butterfly is from With Sympathy.

I started with the one layer Baby card, but then decided to make a second version with some dimension.  This butterfly embellishment was inspired by Nichole's card here.

Hi.  I'm back with a third card using the colored pencils for the Make It Monday challenge.  I borrowed this layout from the Harvest Berries card by Debbie Olsen on this post.  I almost didn't get the Harvest Berries set and I am so glad that I did!  Super easy to stamp with.

PTI Make It Monday #30: Colored Pencils

The PTI Make It Monday #30 video gave tips on using colored pencils.  I picked up some Prismascolors almost a year ago and have barely used them.  Using baby oil to blend the colors made all the difference for me.  Love the results!  Now I wish that I had bought a larger set of pencils!

I stamped the jack-o-latern face after I had colored with pencils because I changed my mind on the design.  The ink didn't take as well, but I think it works nicely with the slightly vintage look of the card.
