INKspired Colour Combo Challenge 131-

Hello and welcome to the INKspired colour combo challenge this sunday night. Teneale has given us some lovely colours to work with. You may have hopped across from Allison McLeod.

For my card tonight I decided to use the Art Gallery Bundle which starts on page 32 of the mini catalogue.

Started with a Whisper White cardbase (I still have some left but will order Basic White soon).

I was looking at the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper and it has Pumpkin Pie in it - so I used the plain side as I wanted my flower to shine.

I embossed a piece of vellum with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and placed it over the DSP. 

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper - it is so pretty.

Next I stamped the flower using Pumpkin Pie and then Daffodil Delight. I stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green. Stamped the Happy Birthday in Memento ink and cut out using the die in the bundle.

Added three pearls to my card. Just couldn't add the Just Jade to my card - I tried but no luck.

Thank you for visiting and now it is onto Kozue Smith

 

Until next time

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

INKspired Sketch Challenge 112 -

You may have come across from Julie Martin and I always look forward to seeing what she has made each fortnight.

Well they say you should keep looking at the sketch as indeed I missed a bit....blame not having my glasses on
I started with the Mountain Air Stampset that I have been enjoying (my early birthday present) that I got. Didn't use the dies on this card but will show you one later in the week that I did. Love this bundle!

Started with Terracotta Tile cardstock as my base. On the Whisper White piece added a small piece of Basic Black to the bottom. Using the Stamparatus stampped the mountains off once onto paper and then stamped onto the cardstock - did the same with the solid mountains which is the flip side. Using Pear Pizzazz stamped the row of trees on twice to give a deeper colour. 

Then cut a smaller piece of Terracotta Tile cardstock that I embossed with the Mosaic 3D embossing folder.
 Tip: I now write on the front of my embossing folder Blue Plate - so everyone remembers



3D Embossing Folder Plate - see below.

Close up of the scene on the front of my card that has a little machine sewing on it - attaching the piece of vellum...

Used the words from the very cute Special Someone stampset


I even remembered to take a photo of the inside of my card!

Thank you for stopping by & now it is onto Kozue Smith 
to see her gorgeous creation

Until next time

Happy stamping

INKspired Sketch Blog hop 99 -

Hello and welcome to the sunday night INKspired sketch blog hop. You may have hopped across from Julie Martin and I can't wait to see what she has made. I am so excited about all the new products in the catalogue so it was a hard decision on what to use but I  chose the To A Wild Rose Bundle and the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper for my card.

Here is the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight.

Started with Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the base and stamped the leaves from the stampset onto the card in Flirty Flamingo.

I then cut a strip of the Perennial Essence DSP and adhered to the Blackberry Bliss and tied the linen thread around it. I didn't want to cover up the DSP (it is so beautiful - so Monet) so I used a piece of vellum over the top of the linen thread.

Stamped the Hello in Blackberry Bliss onto the Stitched Circle with a layer of Blackberry Bliss behind it.

Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper - 149100

Stamped the flower in Flirty Flamingo with the three stamps and stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green but used only two of the stamps. Cut them out using the dies below - which is a great bundle.

Thank you for stopping by and now it is onto

Until next time

INKspired Sketch Blog hop 68 -

Hi and welcome to the INKspired hop, my fingers are crossed hoping that it all goes smoothly

as I am still on the Gold Coast after attending Onstage on saturday!

You may have come across from Allison and a big thank you to Barb & Allison for putting their links up  early so that I could still participate.

Now here is the sketch that Teneale has given us to work with.

 Used the Marbled stamp with Sweet Sugarplum ink onto the same colour cardstock. A piece of Vellum and attached one of the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes - a Gold one.
Punched a circle from Very Vanilla and stamped with the Marbled stamp in Sweet Sugarplum ink and sponged around the edge. Stamped a reindeer from the Seasonal Chums and fussy cut.

Lastly I added a bow using the Copper Trim. I did change my card from the sketch as I forgot to go and look at it again.....

Thank you for coming by and now it is onto

Barb

Until next time

Happy stamping
