INKspired Sketch Blog hop 88 -

Welcome to our sunday night blog hop.There are only three of us hopping tonight as Barb & Teneale are getting organised for their trip to Orlando - so exciting!  You may have hopped across from Kozue and isn't her card lovely.

Now below is the sketch that Teneale has given us to us for this fortnight.

This sketch gave me some grief when trying to work out what to do. I ended up using the lovely Winter Woods stampset inked with Smoky Slate on Whisper White cardstock.

Main card was the lovely Highland Heather and the strip was  Gorgeous Grape with Basic Black behind it.

Ran the Gorgeous Grape/ Basic Black strip after I had stuck it together through the Big Shot using the Garden Trellis embossing folder  - not sure why I haven't used this before it is so lovely. 

Embossed the words from Happy Birthday Gorgeous in Black embossing powder. Don't forget to use your embossing buddy - it makes such a difference!

Popped up the Whisper White with those lovely trees to make a cute birthday card in purples.

Now it is onto Allison

Until next time

Happy stamping

Hi and welcome everyone to our sunday night inkspired hop. You may have arrived here first or hopped across from Kozue  - can't wait to see her creation tonight.

Below is the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight

Started with a base of Pool Party. Piece of Basic Black behind a piece of Pool Party that was stamped with the Buffalo Check stamp in Pool Party. Linen thread wrapped around twice and tied in a bow.(Forgot the leaf..)

Used the stamps from Pretty Kitty inked with Memento and coloured with Stampin' Blends. Love that pussycat in the pot!

Thank you for stopping by.

Now it is onto Allison and I can't wait to see her snowmen card that she has made for tonight.

Until next time

Happy stamping

Just Add Ink #428 ..."Colour"

It is the long weekend in NSW and I have time to make a card for the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge - aren't the colours gorgeous and it is spring.. but was snowing here this saturday morning and very cool again...but will warm up  on sunday!

Went with the Calypso Coral as my main card and used the Pinewood Planks embossing folder on an additional piece.

 Stamped the roses from Healing Hugs stampset in Calypso Coral and Pool Party and fussy cut them out.

Words and the leaf came from the Tropical Chic Bundle. Stamped the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist ink and cut them out with the framelits - no fussy cutting!

Now don't forget to click on this link - Colour Challenge #428 so you can see everyone's cards.

Thank you for stopping by.

Until next time

Happy stamping
