INKspired Sketch Blog hop 83 -

Hi and welcome to another INKspired sketch hop this sunday night. 

You may have hopped across from the lovely Narelle and she loves doing layers on her cards.

Now each fortnight Teneale gives us a sketch that we use to make our card with.

Well I started with Lemon Lime Twist as my base card with another layer on top. Then a strip of Basic Black embossed with Layered Leaves and wrapped with linen thread. 

I then stamped the dandelion from the Dandelion Wishes stampset on the Very Vanilla with Basic Grey and the words with Gray Granite but after I took the photo I realised it looks really soft in real life but the Dandelion is too light in the pic (you struggle to see it!).

Now under the Very Vanilla is a lovely piece of Lemon Lime Twist that I cut with the Decorative Ribbon punch (shown on page 210 of the cattie). So you can use the strip two ways - I have chosen just to show the half circles that is punched out this way. 

Thank you for stopping by and now it is onto 

Allison who makes such cute cards

Until next time

Happy stamping

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 74 -

Hi and welcome to our sunday night blog hop. Teneale gives us a sketch that we all use for our card inspirations. You may have come across from Allison and I can't wait to see what she has made.

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

I actually stepped back to the main catalogue and chose a piece of DSP from the Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper on page 189. Added Crumbcake as my layers.

Added the Berry Burst Crinkled seam binding ribbon and folded it as it went across the card. Some linen thread and a bow at the end. 

I stamped the flowers from the Petal Palette stampset with Memento ink onto the crumbcake as an experiment to see how they would turn out. I had to cut out the small yellow flowers as there is not a die for that bunch. Under the Berry Burst ribbon is the edge of the Decorative Ribbon Border - just wanted a hint of it sticking out. The Happy Birthday is from the Beautiful Day stampset.

Thank you for stopping by.

Now it is onto Renee and I can't wait to see the baby card she has made.

Until next time

Happy stamping
