PTI Countdown Day 1...

Welcome to Day 1 of the Papertrey Ink August release countdown.  I have a fun new background stamp to share with you today.  Lexi designed this amazing alphabet background with lots of different fonts all combined to create a fun background.  It's called Alphabet Soup.

For my first project, I stamped the image in black ink and then cut out a portion of the large image with Tag Sale #3 die.  Next, I used the same tag to cut out a vellum tag.  I used a sentiment from Apple Prints stamp set and heat embossed it on the bottom of the vellum tag.  I die cut and stamped an apple and stem from the same set.  I added that to the tag with a piece of foam tape for some dimension.  I finished the tag off but layering them with a piece of black twine.  Perfect for upcoming teacher gifts!

For my next project, I wanted to showcase the entire image...

I heat embossed the stamp on watercolor paper and then did a simple wash with three colors.  After it dried, I got brave and went in with some splatters of the pink watercolor.  I cut the image out and popped it up on fun foam on the card base, after I stamped the sentiment from Keep it Simple: From All of Us.

I thought I would throw one more teacher card into the mix.  This one is a super simple card that would be easy to mass produce.

I used a Soft Stone card base and stamped Alphabet Soup twice in Fresh Snow ink.  Then I used Enclosed: Apple for a quick and easy die cut sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects for today.  There are so many fun things headed your way this week, so stay tuned! Head over to Nichole's blog to see some more sneaks for today!
