ATSM Challenge #157 – MYM

I’m back with a post for this week’s ATSM #157 which is our Make Your Mark (MYM) Challenge.

Here are the rules for the MYM challenge:

Make your Mark – your entry MUST contain the use of anything that can make a mark – Stampin’ Write, Copics, Promarkers, Painting, Chalks, Watercolors, Sponges, Stencils, Masks etc etc

Our Sponsor for this challenge is:

The Prize is a $20 gift certificate!

 For this MYM I made 3 cards, each one is slightly different from the other,

but all using the PTI Peony Cover Plate Die and Faber Castell Gelatos.

The first 2 are a sister pair. I colored the die cut itself and used it for this first card.

I lightly traced the outline of the peony onto the card front as a guide, then I sponged some ink onto the front of the card base and adhered the die cut and the sentiment. The sentiment is a free digi stamp from Little Tangles.

While coloring the die cut I also used it as a stencil and used it to make a print for the 2nd 1-layer card.

Here’s a photo of the work in progress.

Here’s the resulting print.

I added some color with my Stampin’ Write markers and the sentiment with PTI’s sentiment swoosh stamp set.

      Here is the 3rd card that I have to share with you.

Please see the following slide show for more details of how I made this 3rd card. I used the same basic technique for this last card as for the second one in this post. However, for this last card I added I white die cut on top of the colored background.

You can see the sister of the 3rd card in this post, where I used the colored die cut itself, here.

Be sure to stop by the blog to see all of the inspiration from the rest of the team and to play along.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Speaking of flowers, my brother and his wife have a new baby in their house. My niece, Zinnia, was born on Sunday! It’s amazing to see their new little baby on FaceTime! She’s beautiful.

I love her already!
