INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 31 - Its nearly christmas.....

Hello everyone
Welcome to our last blog hop for 2015 and a big thank you for joining us
each fortnight!
You may have hopped across from Narelle or come straight here.
Make a cuppa, sit down and put your feet up and relax and enjoy our 31st blog hop.
Just a quick peak at my baby ducks that our mother chook is raising beautifully - she does get a bit cranky when they go swiming! We have seven and two are black.

Now back to the hop...

A special thanks goes to our friend -Teneale for bringing it all together each fortnight.

Here is the sketch we have this hop
When I first looked at this I thought love it but then couldn't decide what stampset to use....
I WAS going to make a chrissie card..had it in my mind all week
But then I needed a card for a friend so went with the lovely
Blended Bloom stamp which I embossed in Black  on watercolour paper.
I then coloured using a Blender pen and Melon Mambo marker. Daffodil Delight marker in the middle with some rhinestones.
Cut the English Garden DSP using the Banner Framelit and the little framelit for the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper.
I attached a Tea Lace paper Doily to the main card.
Then popped up the banner using dimensionals on top after attaching the linen thread.
I then cut out my flower carefully and attached to the banner
Here is my card - hope you enjoy it.




Now it is onto Kabrina to see what she has created - can't wait.

 We will return in January 2016
after a short xmas and new year break.


Below is what I have used to make my card.

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 25 - 1st Birthday Celebration


Welcome everyone to our 1st birthday at INKspired Sketch Blog hop. Please grab a cuppa, sit and relax while you hop across all the blogs and enjoy the cards that are on display.
You may have hopped across from Marlene and I can't wait to see what she has made for today
Guess what ..if you leave a comment on all the blogs you will have a chance to win a prize, HOW good is that!
Here is the sketch that Teneale has given us this fortnight and it has to be a birthday celebration party theme card....
For my card I choose the lovely Corner Garden stamp as my friend loves flowers. This is a lovely stamp but I do struggle to use it well. I used watercolor paper and silver embossed the flowers on. I then used a Blender pen to pick up different colours to colour in the flowers and leaves. A section of Real Red DSP for the edge with a sliver of silver glimmer paper.I stamped the birthday wishes from the Petite Pairs stamp set onto watercolor paper. Used some glue dots on the back to attach the Silver Metallic thread before attaching it to the card front. A rhinestone finished off the words


I found it very difficult to capture the beautiful silver embossing (I deleted the night pic as it didn't do it justice). Hope these two pics do. I seem to have too much sparkle now...lol. Some people would say you can never have enough sparkle in your life!
If you have any hints for me, please let me know. I would be grateful!

Thank you for visiting and 
now it is onto the lovely Renee to see what she has in store for us



Tips when using Embossing Powder:
1. Use the Embossing Buddy to rub over the cardstock or watercolor paper first.
(it prevents you ending up with embossed embossing powder everywhere)
2. Versamark onto your stamp and then when stamped onto your  card stock apply the Embossing Powder and don't forget to tap on the back to get any excess powder off.
3. Two heat settings on the heat tool - use high for setting the powder.
4. I always warm the heat tool first and then move it over the cardstock.
5. As soon as you see the powder changing then move on don't continue to heat in one spot, you could burn your card.(I am speaking from experience on this!)


Hope these tips help when you are next embossing!
