And now for something completely different ...... PTI-wise that is. Inspiration from a photo is abit new for this challenge, but a very welcome one.  I have had some SEI papers for awhile with this kind of graduated colour, so was delighted to be able to use them (I think it can be seen in the photo).

Whilst waiting for my daughter to finish ballet last night, I saw a gorgeous card at the newsagent, in rich tangerine colours with embossed swirls on it and gems in several colours, just beautiful, but I don't buy cards anymore...

Cardstock - American Crafts white;  PTI black, scarlet jewel,

Unfortunately I missed the cut off for this challenge, which is a pity because I was really happy with the results of this card.  I have had this stamp for a long time and it hasn't seen ink  - this will change in the future, could be a good male birthday card

What you need
Cardstock - PTI Simply Chartreuse, Dark Chocolate, white
Patterned Paper - Jillibean Soup (Olive Sugar)
Stamps - Hero Arts Decorative Bamboo;  PTI Inside and Out:  Birthday
Ink - SU Old Olive;  Choc Chip
Button - PTI
Twine -  Jillibean Soup

I have been really impressed with SEI papers, which seem to be very hard to get in Australia (maybe I am looking in the wrong place).  Unfortunately, the official site does not ship to Oz which isn't helpful (and they don't answer emails).  So I will go on with what I have.  This is Moonrise, all gold, orange, black and green (seems to be my favourite combination at the moment).

What you need
Cardstock - PTI Orange Zest, Black, White
Patterned Paper - SEI Moonrise
Stamps - PTI Mega Mixed Messages;  Marks Finest Papers Brick Wall
Ink - SU Old Olive;  Memento Tuxedo Black
Die - Spellbinders Labels 14
Gemstones - Kaisercraft

Thought about using this for the PTI Blog Hop but no doubt other people had that idea before me.  Was abit stumped for colours till I came across the Play Date Cafe challenge for this week.  Unfortunately in my zeal to get this card done, I have just realised there isn't an ounce of green on it!

The light wasn't so great this afternoon but the card is white.  I wasn't going to add the pearls, still undecided whether I should have, and,again resorted to my Fiskars oval stencil, which I used for the scallops on my PTI blog hop card (hope that helps Robyn).

What you need
Cardstock -  PTI Hawaiian Shores, Orange Zest, White
Stamps - PTI Text Style II, Inside and Out:  Birthday
Ink - PTI Hawaiian Shores;  Memento Rich Cocoa
Ribbon - SU Pumpkin Pie
Pearls -  Kaisercraft
