PTI Stamp a Faire Challenges

Nichole is  hosting card challenges all day long on her blog HERE. I will be lumping the three challenge pictures together on this post. I got a late start with the challenges. I also found it impossible to keep up with the hourly challenges, and finally, I left to go to church. So here are cards for challenges 3, 4 , and 6. 
First up Challenge #3 -
Punch a window from you card cover and tie ribbon or twine from the window to the side of your card.  There is SO much opportunity to have fun with your creativity on this one!
Paper: PTI-Kraft, DCWV-Nana's Nursery Baby Boy
Stamps- PTI-Baby Button Bits, Tiny Tags
Ink- Color Box Chalk Ink-Dark Brown
Other- PTI-Tiny Tag die, button, twine, heart button-Walmart, Spica Glitter pen in Chocolate, corner rounder

Challenge #4- I thought it would be fun to do a color challenge for this go-around!  Papertrey colors you would use are represented as Ripe Avocado, Simply Chartreuse, Hawaiian Shores & Enchanted Evening.

This is one of my favorite cards I've made in awhile. I never would have thrown these colors together, but they sure are pretty...
Paper: PTI-Enchanted Evening, Ripe Avacado, Vintage Cream
Stamps: Flutterby Friend
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink-Olive Pastel, Deep Lagoon, Memento- Tuxedo Black
Other: Hobby Lobby-gems, Spica Glitter pen in Clear, Copics (BG13,B37,G99,YG95)

Challenge # 6- Your challenge this afternoon is to use the little notch technique to hold twine or ribbon in place across the cover of your project.  You can use a circle punch of any diameter to create a round notch or a square punch for a square notch.

Paper:PTI-White, Orange Zest
Stamps: Star Prints, Mixed Messages
Ink:Stampabilities Pigment inks-Light Green, Orange, Bright Pink
Other: embossing folder, twine, 1/2 in circle punch
