INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 47 -

Hi and welcome to our 47th hop. 

You may have landed here or hopped across from the delightful 

Allison McLeod and I can't wait to see

what she has made this fortnight

These hops occur fortnightly and Teneale gives us a sketch 
that we all work with.

Now here is the sketch for this fortnight

I wasn't quite sure what to make with this sketch

I decided to use the Fancy Frost Speciality DSP. I sponged a circle over the DSP using Dapper Denim.

I then cut the circle from one of the Delicate White Doilies and sponged it in place which gave a deeper blue to the area. Guess what I cut two doilies instead of one - sometimes hard to pull apart!!!

Then I stamped the Birthday Blooms rose and coloured it in using a Blender pen and Dapper Denim ink. Used a mixture of greens for the leaves including Old Olive. 
I then cut the rose and left only the main flower and leaves
to stick on my card!
I was a bit naughty as I didn't add a sentiment....

Thank you for joining us tonight.
Please take the time to hop around all the blogs.
Now it is onto the gorgeous
Barbara Williams and I can't wait to see what she has made

Bye for now

Hello and welcome to the ESAD 2017 Occasions Catalogue 
and Sale-a-Bration sneak peek. What a mouthful to say but this is such an exciting time for us 
and our customers - we all love January till March as you get free product when you spend $90.00 in Australia).
You may have hopped across from
Cheryl Algie and I can't wait to see
what she has made.

I went with the beautiful stampset High Tide which I am loving. Made a main card first then made a few tags.

Such a great set to work with. Applied a tag to one of

our clear tiny treat boxes that are

in the main catalogue.

 Used the burlap ribbon for the tags

Hope you enjoyed my sneak peek.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 46 -

Welcome to another INKspired sketch blog hop.

You may have landed here or hopped across from the delightful Narelle Macey and I can't wait to see
what she has made for us

These hops occur fortnightly and Teneale gives us a sketch 
that we all work with.

I was tempted to use one of the new sets but realised that I had a stamp set 

that had not seen much inking....

It is of course the lovely Vertical Greeting set and I do love 

having vertical sayings. This is a great set to use the markers on.  I  used the beautiful Flirty Flamingo for the main card.

I then used a strip of the  Flirty Flamingo on the edge In Color DSP 2016-2018  (love these new In Colors).

I used a mixture of Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo on the flowers with some

Wink of Stella clear on the flowers

Thank you for joining us tonight.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 45 -

Welcome to our INKspired blog hop - still recovering from a great OnStage Live event in Brisbane 

(I will put up some pics later in week as only got home

last night - been visiting!) 

Please take a moment to enjoy all the creations that have been made.

You may have hopped across from the delightful

Allison and I can't wait to see what she has made.

Every two weeks Teneale Williams gives us a sketch that we all have to use. 

 I had to use the Merry Mice Stampset - they are so cute.

Started with Dapper Denim as the main cardstock and then applied the Very Vanilla cardstock and roughed the edges of the top layer with my fingernail. Cut out Merry from the Dapper Denim. Stamped the mouse in Archival Basic Gray as mice are a gray colour and then coloured in using the Neutrals and Brights markers with the Blender pen.

Adhered some Basic Pearl Jewels to the card. I  cut the top layer of Very Vanilla into  two pieces before roughing the edges.

Thank you for stopping by

Now it is onto Artisan Louise Sharp.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 44 -

Hi and welcome to our INKspired blog hop.

You may have arrived directly here or 
come across from the delightful

Allison who creates such cute cards.

Now here is the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight

I had an idea but I had to change the oval from

 laying across the card.....

The base card and layer was Flirty Flamingo.
The layer was embossed 
with Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing folder and then sponged around the edge
with Flirty Flamingo ink.

I stamped the oval with flowers from the
Number of Years Stampset (love that set).
Placed the lovely Flirty Flamingo Ruched 
ribbon across the card and then another 
piece over the top and two pearls beside
the oval.

Thank you for stopping by

Now it is onto 

Louise to see what lovely creation 
she has made.

Global Design Project 058 | Sketch Challenge

I needed some male birthday cards 
 and was deciding what to make
when I saw the Global Design Project challenge
 for this week.
I then used the sketch from #GDP058 
designed by Teneale Williams
for my card.

Don't forget to check out all the other amazing creations at the Global Design Project page.

So here is my birthday card

Used Crumbcake as the base with one of the DSP from 
Candy Cane Lane (love this DSP).Then used the stampset - Guy Greetings for the car which is stamped 
in Early Espresso ink and the words are from the same set - so versatile for a male card.

SUO Challenge #158 – Thanks and Thanksgiving

It's the weekend and I just have time to finish 
off my card that I started for the  
SUO (Stampin' Up! Only)  Challenge.

I am especially thankful for spring

in Australia.

All our bulbs are blooming but hoping for a bit more sunshine instead of the rain and sleet

we have had.

The first part of the challenge was for a 

thanksgiving card or decoration but we could make a card or other project that expresses, "Thanks".

So I am going for a card

that expresses thanks.

This first card is Very Vanilla layered onto Crumbcake 
with Real Red Glitter Stampin' Emboss Powder using 
a medallion from
Frosted Medallions stampset and the word 
thanks is from
Sunburst Sayings stampset. 
Sponged around the Very Vanilla cardstock with 
Real Red ink.
Then I decided to do another card 
 using Crumbcake cardstock only.

Thanks for stopping by
Maree.
