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 another sunday night with some of the INKspired team that are hopping tonight. It is a long weekend in Australia so we have Monday off to enjoy. You may have come across from Narelle so welcome 

Every fortnight Teneale gives us a sketch to work with and below is tonight's one.

Started with Flirty Flamingo as the cardbase. Then embossed a piece with the Softly Falling folder and sponged around the edge with Flirty Flamingo ink. 

Added a rectangle piece of Highland Heather at an angle. Tied a length of Silver & Whisper White Baker's Twine to the card with a bow.  

Added a piece of Country Lane DSP and scallops underneath from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits see below.

Used the circle framelit from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and stamped the jug from the Country Home Stampset. Then fussy cut the flowers out.

Love how the colours went together.

Thank you for stopping by.

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

Until next time

Happy stamping

Welcome to another INKspired hop this sunday night. You may have hopped across from Narelle so welcome and please continue to hop around and see all the cards that have been  made.

Teneale gives us a sketch each fortnight that we all work with. 

Now I love this sketch, looked at it and then went and made my card and realised I had forgotten to add something - must keep the pic close next time!
The stamped flowers and cut out leaves come from a new stampset and framelits that will be available in August for you to purchase.

 I teamed it with the new Highland Heather and Old Olive for the leaves. 

 The lovely framelit shape on which the flower is stamped comes from the set called Stitched Seasons (available in August)

The stampset is called Blended Seasons. Thank you for stopping by.

Now it is onto Allison and I always love what she makes

Until next time

Happy stamping
