CCC + PTI

Two cards, two challenges. No chatter. (Well....maybe a little)  The first card is headed off to the Card Concept Challenge. The 'theme' is monochromatic pink. Took a while for the ping to stop bouncing and settle in one place.

I really wanted to use green, but didn't.

A simple tag card. Probably fits best in the "Clean and Layering" category. There is a matching pink panel on the inside which shows up when the card is closed. All pink scraps. Neenah white base. Pink sequins. A bit of ric-rac and silver string on the tag. A smidge of leftover ribbon. That's about it for this one. 

And PTI's Anniversary celebration continues. Today, the challenge was to randomly choose one 'ingredient' from nine different categories, which were found on the various DT blogs. Mine has: 1) Hawaiian Shores (well, nearly that color), cardstock, 2) Raspberry Fizz (also really close to that color...) cardstock, though it looks red in the photograph, 3) Aqua Mist - had that exact ink!, 4) White cardstock, 5) the first sketch (I'll show you that in a minute, 6) it's a birthday card, 7) an inlaid die cut, 8) rhinestones, and finally, 9) thread.

And this is my take:

The rich, deep pink on the sentiment panel looks soooo red here, but truly, it isn't. A scrap of dp for the punched out hearts. White Neenah base, white thread from my sewing box. Pretty simple. Gotta run. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day everyone. Hope you get some happy dancing in. (I really like how it looks in real life)
