MFW-TT Fancy Schmancy and Papertrey Ink - Day 5 (card #2)

I am entering this card in two challenges today.

PTI' Day 5 Celebration:http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/


Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger:http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/01/tuesday-trigger-fancy-schmancy.html

I took another photo in daylight, although it is cloudy today (hoping for rain) I think you can see the pretty pink card base and the the brown mat under the pink and white striped paper like the cupcake liners and the mocha twine tying the key are a little closer match to the inspiration photo :)

NOTE: I do have a fabulous camera with all the gizmos and lenses of a "Professional" photographer which my DH gave me as a B-Day gift a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I always relied on this sweet man to read the manual and learn to use, adjust the settings on all the techy stuff in the house and then asked him "to just show me what to do".
I have the manual on my craft desk, so hopefully my next photo will be better :o?

I stamped the key on PTI white heavy weight cardstock and the heart is a chipboard I made (from one of the MIM challenge last year) with a scrap piece of Raspberry Fizz Mix Paper Collection from PTI. The glittery ribbon and the key stamp are both from Michael's

Papertrey Ink - Day 5

edited photo to portrait instead of landscape ~ like it better this way :)

Today is Day 5 of Papertrey Ink's Anniversary Celebration.
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/

The contest is to pick one of the team members Pinterest inspiration photos or select your own piece of Pinterest eye candy to use as a jump-start for your very own creation. WOW! There is so much inspiration from the DT in this arena AND you can hit the Pinterest site for waaaaay more :)

Well this turned out different than I had pictured, isn't that always the way?
I chose the colors, butterflies and flourish in the Pinterest photo of a Bookholder for the car. I had the card 'portrait', but photographed it 'landscape', I am sure I will send it out facing portrait and it will be a B-Day card...maybe I need a do-over here :o?

My Card~
Cardstock: heavyweight white card base is PTI and embossed with a woodgrain (look closely to see it peeking out from under :)
Lime Green and Grey are from Recollections
Stamps: Fancy Flourish from PTI; that large fern stamped in both Chartreuse and Shadow Grey inks is Martha Stewart; the trio of butterflies is an old wood stamp with no name :(
I cut out the largest butterfly and popped it over the original cause you couldn't really see it with the fern showing through.

Thanks for stopping by~

Papertry Ink - Day #4

So at Papertrey Ink's Day 4 celebration contest, we are to create a project inspired by one of the team's favorite color combos from a free download of combinations.
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2012/01/5th-anniversary-day-4-cafe-press-new-pattern-packs-color.html
I went with Danielle Flanders. Besides really loving the combo it matched up with Melissa Bickford's LOVE image free download from yesterday~ YAY! All I had to add was the Pure Poppy red which I added in back of the L-O-V-E using my 'Stamp' die from Cuttlebug. Now let me tell ya, those letters looked straight when I popped them on their backgrounds with Pop Dots, but in the photo~not so much :o)
The blingy exclamation point is from Sudio G, Corner Rounder from EK Success and White base cards stock is PTI.
I hope to get a couple more cards done for this fun challenge -?- we'll see
