PTI Transformation Challenge

I always have trouble creating cards for the men in my life so when I saw this PTI Transformation Challenge.  I knew it was a perfect way to get  one done. 

This is the first card I made. I love that little PTI Envelope. This is an all occasion type of card. 

Here is my transformed card. I used PTI card stock and checked designer paper that I think is retired(good thing I bought lots of colors when it was on sale last year)  background paper. I stuffed the little envelope with a white piece of card stock embossed with a birthday embossing folder. The birds are from IO and the cat tails are Die Versions. This is a really quick and simple card.`

PTI Floral Challenge

PTI is celebrating it's anniversary so they have lots of challenges posted. This card is for the FLORAL CHALLENGE.

I saw this Video by Jennifer McGuire ages ago and have been wanting to try this technique. I still had my PTI tulip stamps out so I thought why not try it. Jennifer makes everything look so easy and the results are always gorgeous.                                                                                                                                                                   

 I am not sure how I feel about my outcome.  The technique looked really fabulous on her cards.  I used the PTI tulips set and You are Awesome die by Cheery Lynn.
