PMS Monday Challenge

It's time for another Paper Makeup Stamps Monday challenge (on a Wednesday!). Tina Hale issued a color challenge for this one...olive, ruby and chocolate. Lucious earthy, fall colors! I used Sprout for this because of the earthy colors...I thought she would look good in them. I started with my dp. I have a list of all the SU decorative papers and the colors that go with them (this is a year or so old now). It's so helpful, and sorry I don't know where I got it from...probably somewhere on SCS. Anyway, I came across Fall Flowers and Ginger Blossom (both retired). I chose the olive one from Fall Flowers and the ruby from Ginger Flowers. Then I went to my sketches (we all know I'm sketch challenged), and chose Beate's Weekend Sketch. I added the flowers, and I had to color the red one with my copic marker because I didn't have one to match. The sentiment is also from PMS.

If you want to see what the other DT members have done, go to the PMS blog. You can also post your card to Mr. Linky there...we'd love to see what you do with these colors. If you post to SCS/PCP, use the keyword PMSMC29.

Also, sneak peeks for the PMS October release will begin on Friday, October 2 (I cannot believe it's almost October already!). Be on the lookout for that...lots of great new images being released! Thanks for stopping in today! Have a great week!

Getting Punchy with PMS!

Paper Makeup Stamps' Monday Challenge this week was to use punches or die cuts. Tangii came up with this idea, and I'm glad she did because it got me to use a couple of these die cuts I've had from SU forever! I think I may use them more now that I've finally pulled them out!I'm in an autumn mode...can you tell? This is my favorite time of year! We had a BEAUTIFUL fall weekend this past weekend and I was just lovin' it! (Perfect for football too...and the Bills won, Christi!!) Anyway onto the card. I used the PMS Swirlie Tree image and colored it with SU markers in chocolate chip, old olive, really rust, and only orange. I like how the tree trunk looks...it sort of came out like a real one. The dp is also a retired SU one called Autumn Vine. I paired it with pumpkin pie and chocolate chip. The sentiment on the old olive circle (also a die cut) is a PMS one stamped in chocolate chip. I added embossed dots on the bottom of the card, some bling, and some star dust stickles on the tree. The sketch is Beate's weekend sketch from this past weekend. I just changed the orientation a bit because of the way the tree was "swaying"!

PMS Monday Challenge on Friday!

I'm doing the Paper Makeup Stamps Monday Challenge on Friday! The challenge was issued by Jamie Morris and she wanted us to make a flap card. The directions in the SCS Resources gallery are so easy to follow and they are really fun to make!I used PMS stamps from two sets: Dream Big (the swirls) and Nature's Song (the bird). The wordart on the outside and sentiment inside are separate stamps. I got my color combo from the SCS color challenge: soft suede, pink pirouette (it was supposed to be pretty in pink, but I liked pink pirouette better), and white. I distressed all the layers with soft suede. The bird was colored with watercolor crayons, spritzed with water, and stamped on watercolor paper. I used one of the newer nesties for the flap of the card and mounted the pink paper on top of it using the same nestie. I used the swirls from the Dream Big set stamped in pink pirouette on the wordart and on the inside. I added the brown pearls on the bottom. The flap is held shut with a Basic Grey magnet. These are so fun to make and a nice change from the normal card.

If you play, you can post your direct link to Mr. Linky on the PMS blog. If you post to SCS/PCP, please use the keyword PMSMC27.


Also, today is Friday, so it's also Freebie Friday at PMS. You can snag a free digital wordart for a week, then it's gone. So stop by the PMS blog for your free gift! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
