INKspired Sketch Challenge 134 -

 


Well hello everyone and welcome to another sunday blog hop. You may have hopped across from  Katrina Healy and I can't wait to see what she has made.

We have a great sketch that Teneale has given us below which I should look at more often - my card seems different  but the concept is there and blame it on the weather we have had - IT issues. 



Well I have strawberries trying to ripen in my garden but the weather has not been the best for that! I decided to use the great Sweet Strawberry Bundle on page 44 on the Mini Catalogue.


I decided to start with Poppy Parade as my main card and ran another piece of Poppy Parade using the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder as I love the texture.


Used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies where I cut a piece of Very Vanilla and stamped the leaves and flowers over it in Granny Apple Green ink.
Stamped strawberries in Memento ink and Poppy Parade ink and leaves in Granny Apple Green ink and punched them out. The words came from the same stampset.




Thank you for popping in to look at out cards and please do hop around and check everyone's out. Now I am waiting to see what 
 Allison McLeod has made for us tonight.



Until next time
Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.

True Love INKspired Showcase challenge 133 -

Hi and welcome to our sunday night hop tonight is a showcase challenge. You may have come 

across from Katrina Healy and I can't wait to see what she has made.

Well I love flowers and I love colouring with my Stampin' Blends so it was which flowers do I choose.

Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green were my Stampin' Blends Colours. This is great dsp to grab a pack of to make heaps of cards with.



Chose Melon Mambo cardstock as my base. Added a layer of Basic Black that had been embossed using the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder.




Coloured my three flowers with the light and dark Melon Mambo Stampin' Blends. The leaves with both light and dark Granny Apple Green. Fussy cut them from the dsp - Love these flowers to colour in.



Used the Happy Birthday from the Art Gallery Bundle as I love the squiggly cutout (not sure what it's real name is)  from that die set. Popped the Happy Birthday down on the Basic Black and then popped the flowers up on Stampin' Dimensionals.


I did add some pearls to this card but after I had taken the pictures....


Thank you for stopping by and now it is onto Allison McLeod.


 

Until next time
Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.
