It is time for another Make it Monday Challenge from Papertrey Ink. Challenge #6 is titled "Impression Plate Tricks #1". You can see the posts regarding all of the PTI challenges on Nichole Heady's blog at http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/ . See the post for Monday March 14th for the current challenge video and post.
I chose to use an embossing folder to go with the flower I had planned for this card as I only have 1 texture plate from PTI called "Admit One" and it did not go with the theme of the card I wanted to work on. (NOTE: If I have more crafting time this weekend I may make a birthday card using this impression plate and upload a second card. I love these challenges!)
The flower is made using the Tim Holtz tattered florals sissix die with lots of stamping, inking, glitter, and a brad in the center to hold it all together. I found some velvet leaves at my local thrift store a few weeks ago and added these to the side of the flower and used stamps from the Mat Stack 4 collection with the new banner die from PTI. This card is another thank you note that I am sending to one of Stuart's cousins who has been helping us very generously during Stuart's illness. We are so blessed by our family and friends.
Here are a few more pics of this card:
Thanks so much for looking! I am having fun learning to make cards and the PTI challenges really help expand my techniques! Plus they are so fun! Have a great day! Each day is truly a gift so celebrate it!
Smiles,

This card is exquisite. The colors are lovely, with such a soft touch to them. The embossing folder gives just the right amount of texture to complement the flower. Can you tell I think your card is fabulous?
