INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 67 -

Hi everyone and welcome to the inkspired hop this sunday night. You may have come across from Allison and I am sure you loved what she has made as I always do.

The sketch below is the one Teneale has given us to work from - love the sketches she develops.

 I chose to use the versatile Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack. Am loving these new In Colours this year.
I started with Lemon Lime Twist with the matching DSP.
I next used our Layering Square framelits love how you can make rectangles using them even the scallop ones - but be careful that you don't cut the square out by putting it completely through the Big Shot - stop before you get to the end!

 I chose the Fresh Fig flower bunch that I cut out from the DSP  as I was imagining a dark red rose. I did sponge lightly around the whisper white rectangle with the Lemon Lime Twist ink.

The words are from the 

Happy Birthday Gorgeous stampset.

Thanks for stopping by.

Now it is onto Barbara and I can't wait to see what she has made

Until next time

Happy stamping

Thank you for hopping across to my blog. You may have come across from the delightful Cathy Pinchbeck and I can't wait to see what she has made. If you get lost or want to see who is hopping today - just check at the end of my blog for the list of participants. 
Grab a cuppa or as it is now after 6pm a beverage some cheese n bikkies -relax and enjoy the show, don't forget to leave some words of support!

A 3D project - it was. 

I had some 2018 calendars  that I had bought at  a craft fair back in August so I started with them. Had to use the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes on page 37 for my stands.

For the Soft Suede I used the old olive white dots paper from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper on page 12.
I made the little box on front a little wider so that I could add the pen withthe post it notes - Love how it turned out.

This is the Lemon lime twist combination with the smaller box and the pen is clipped to the side. 

I think I prefer the wider box - what do you think?

Now it is onto Josie Dean and I can't wait to see if it is 3D or a Fancy Fold? There is a list at the end of each blog so that you can see where to go. We love if you leave us some words of support.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 65 -

Hi and welcome to the INKspired blog hop this sunday night. The weather is changing here in the Snowy Mountains. It is starting to warm up and spring is here as you can see by my daffodil pics below. The tulips have been a little slow but the snow has been amazing. We went up again to Perisher and Guthega just to see it all and found a wombat out eating the grass!!

Now onto the card.
You may have popped across from Allison's blog and I can't wait to see what she has created.
Teneale has given us the following sketch for this hop which I love and may use it for a few different cards

Fresh Fig is the base card with the DSP on top. The corners were rounded using the Envelope Punch Board. For the flower started with the larger stamp and used Melon Mambo. Then stamped  Tangerine Tango on top. I then reinked the first large flower  in Melon Mambo and  twisted it slightly before stamping down. This gives the flower a fuller look to it. Used Soft Suede for the centre stamped off once. The dots were stamped with soft Suede. Leaf was stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

Thank you for stopping by and now it is onto Barb and I always look forward to seeing what she has made

Have a great time stampin'

until next time
