Hi! Today I'm joining along with the PTI 11th anniversary day 7 challenge where the challenge is to create a project featuring dies only. I created a valentine's day card featuring a variety of die cuts including a sentiment made using dies from the PTI Wet Paint combined with the Wet Paint 11 collection. The heart was die cut using a double layered PTI Primitive Heart die cut with the bottom layer being white card stock and the top layer vellum:
I stuffed the stitched heart with gold and white sequins then embellished with a homemade flower that was die cut using a PTI Beautiful Blooms die along with some die cut white PTI Fancy Foliage:For color and theme inspiration, I'm joining along with the current TIME OUT challenges which is to create a project inspired by the pretty photo shown below:
and for sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with the current TGIF challenges sketch challenge:
Up next is an 8" x 8" oil painting study featuring a couple of pears. I'm entering this painting in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge~Day 11: I'm also joining along with the Paint Party Friday site: Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)

Oh Mona, this is just lovely and so elegant! Your painting is fabulous too!
Your card is amazing. I love the contrast between the sentiment and the neutral colors of the rest of the card. The stitching around your heart adds such a lovely texture and hand-crafted look. Your luscious pear painting is also amazing. I always look at your paintings and wonder how you are able to create such vivid images with paint.
This is just stunning! Love the neutral colors and shaker heart. Thank you for joining us at TGIF Challenges this week.
So happy to see shaker cards making a comeback and yours is a delight. The painting is gorgeous in it's golden tones offset with hint of lavender. TFS
