Challenge: Whatever the Weather!

Wow - well, thanks to my computer trying to outrightly reject the new blogger layout I am finally able to post this weeks new challenge (sorry for the delay!).

The challenge for the next fortnight is entitled "Whatever the weather" - perfectly appropriate if you live in the UK at the moment as we've certainly be having some "weather" here these last few days!!

For my card I went very "me" in that it is predominantly Pure Poppy and uses {one of} my all time favourites stamp sets - Scattered Showers. I have said before but it's worth saying again.... those new inks are just GORGEOUS. It makes me happy just looking at them!!

Card Deets:
{Cheer Up Buttercup}
Stamps: Scattered Showers
Ink: Pure Poppy
Cardstock: Pure Poppy, Stampers Select White, Beautiful Blooms pp
Dies: Heart Border, Label Basics, Scattered Showers.

Over to Aimes
"Hmmmmm...weather.....gotta admit that this challenge had me a little stumped for a while until I looked outside my window and inspiration struck:

Card Deets
{You Make Me Smile}
Stamps: Signature Greetings (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Cardstock: Orange Zest, Stamper's Select White, Lemon Tart (Papertrey Ink)
Accessories: Various ribbons in shades of Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold and Summer Sunrise (Papertrey Ink)

Yup, it was actually sunny! Right now that seems like a rarity!

This sun was super easy to create with a scrap circle of cardstock and scrap pieces of ribbon. The sentiment seems so fitting for a sun; in fact, I may dedicate this card to the sun in the hope that it will come out a little more *wink*"

And here's Kate: "Well this non-stop rain and flooding made me leap towards a set that shouted sunshine at me, this card came together in a flash and makes me dream of cocktails on a beach where it's NOT raining!!"

Card Deets:
Stamps: A Day at the Beach/Scattered Showers
Ink: Summer Sunrise/Harvest Moon/Aqua Mist/Raspberry Fizz/Smokey Shadow
Card: Stamper's Select White
Other: Oval die/Cuttlebig Swiss Dots Embossing folder

And the prize up for grabs this week is?

I accidently posted the wrong picture on the Inlinkz and it is not giving me the option to delete and add the correct image... The link is right - just the picture is wrong...

If you can delete my link I will repost.

Thank you for your help.

Welcome to A Passion for Papertrey - a place where lovers of Papertrey Ink can get together to share ideas, inspiration, take part in challenges and join swaps!

We're Kate, Aimes and Caryn - we all live in the UK and became friends thanks to our mutual love of all things Papertrey. We soon found out there were lots of other fans in the UK and Europe and thought there should be a corner of the web to bring us together.

Of course we welcome readers from around the world but our primary aim is to unite stampers who use Papertrey products from the UK and the rest of Europe.

Every fortnight we will set a challenge using Papertrey products AND at the end of each challenge we will randomly draw a winner who will recieve some Papertrey goodies! This may be a roll of ribbon, a selection of papers and matching cardstock or even a stamp set!!

We know that as it is an overseas company you may not have a large collection of stamps and Papertrey colours so these will be kept quite general.

For example if you don't have the Papertrey colours you could use one of their stamps and cardstock/papers from other companies, or get creative with just some Papertrey papers and ribbon - the main thing is to have fun!
