INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 33 -

Welcome to out INKspired sketch blog hop -
#INK033
This month has certainly flown by 
You may have hopped across from Narelle and I am wondering what gorgeous surprise she has in store for us this hop. She had a birthday yesterday so don't forget to wish her a "Happy Birthday"!
Now pull up a chair , grab a coffee/tea and hop thru all the blogs...
You will enjoy them!

 Here is the sketch that Teneale has given us


I needed a male birthday card for my brother-in-law so I chose to use the Sale-A-Bration (SAB) set - Sky is the Limit, for the plane and the words Happy Birthday.
I started with a standard card base of Early Espresso and found some lovely stripes in the gorgeous English Garden DSP and used Soft Suede behind the stripes and behind the rectangle.
The words (....On Your Special Day) are from the SAB set - Botanicals for You and stamped in the Basic Black Archival ink - so crisp!
I didn't cut the corners of my whisper white rectangle - just didn't suit my plane....
Needed colour on the card first..
I sponged Pear Pizzazz down the bottom to get the green effect and stamped the grass from the Sheltering Tree in Old Olive stamped off slightly.
I then sponged the top sky with Pool Party and Lost Lagoon and then stamped the cloud from Sky is the Limit in Lost Lagoon 
that I stamped off once to soften it.


The plane I stamped in Old Espresso and used my Blender pen
to pull the colour into the white areas.
Lastly here is the inside of my card.


Thank you for stopping by to look at our hop.

Now it is onto the talented Barbara and  I can't wait to see

what she has in store for us


Below is what I have used to make my card.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 32 - Botanical Blooms



Welcome to our first hop for 2016 - #INK032

Hope everyone had a great relaxing time
over Christmas and New Year.
You may have hopped across from Narelle and I can't wait to see what she has done...
If you have come to my blog first then grab a cuppa and sit n relax whilst you hop around all the blogs
Teneale has given us a fantastitic sketch - sometimes I over think these..
I should just go with what is in my mind first...lol
This is a square sketch and I don't do many square cards but let the adventure begin...
What size does everyone use for a standard square card... I used 5 inch card to start with. I knew that I wanted to use the new Botanical Blooms from the Occasions Cattie, so I started making flowers in Melon mambo and Blushing Bride and leaves in Old Olive with old olive ink stamped on them.

I used the striped paper from the Pretty Petals designer series paper stack in mint macaron - so pretty.
When I was putting the flowers together realised that I had no pearls left so that is why there are rhinestones in the middle. Stamped the words onto Hello Honey cardstock which are from Crazy about You stampset - so versatile!


 Hope you enjoyed my card for this blog hop.

 Thank you for visiting
Now it is onto Barbara and I can't wait to see what to see what gorgeous creation 
she has made

Sneak Peak - Honeycomb Happiness and Hello

Hi Everyone
I was having a crafting afternoon (its raining here )
and using some new stamp sets from Sale-A-Bration
I just love this little chicken and the cute balloons that go with him/her.
Do you notice the cute little embellishment (honeycomb) that sits on one of the balloons - how cool are they? They come in white so that you can spray them any colour that you need for your projects as well as two other colours.

I  found two challenges that my card could go in.


The words across the bottom (Little Sunshine) is from another stamp set called Hello. Love how it goes with my chicken!

Now here are the two stamp sets that I have used



Thank you for stopping by
