INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 56 -

 Hello and welcome to our hop.

You may have hopped across from the delightful

Allison and I can't wait to see what she has made.

Every fortnight Teneale gives us a sketch that we

all use and here it is for this fortnight

Well I wanted to use another stampset that is leaving us from the
Occasions Catalogue - Birthday Blast stampset.

Started with Blushing Bride cardstock and then added a strip of Blushing Bride DSP. A strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and some white Baker's Twine.

Instead of a wash of Colour I went with using the stamp
as the background in Blushing Bride.

Then I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stampset
in Melon Mambo. I flicked some spots using Wink of Stella but they have not come up
in the pic....

Thank you for stopping in.

Now it is onto the wonderful Barbara

and I wonder

what gorgeous creation she has made....

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 46 -

Welcome to another INKspired sketch blog hop.

You may have landed here or hopped across from the delightful Narelle Macey and I can't wait to see
what she has made for us

These hops occur fortnightly and Teneale gives us a sketch 
that we all work with.

I was tempted to use one of the new sets but realised that I had a stamp set 

that had not seen much inking....

It is of course the lovely Vertical Greeting set and I do love 

having vertical sayings. This is a great set to use the markers on.  I  used the beautiful Flirty Flamingo for the main card.

I then used a strip of the  Flirty Flamingo on the edge In Color DSP 2016-2018  (love these new In Colors).

I used a mixture of Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo on the flowers with some

Wink of Stella clear on the flowers

Thank you for joining us tonight.

Now it is onto Louise Sharp

CYCI#124 Water Color Sketch Challenge - Birthday Blooms

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I have been watercolouring and noticed that

Can You Case It - CYCI#124 had a watercolur challenge that my card 

would go nicely with

 

I started witha piece of Shimmery white cardstock that I added a wash of three of the new In Colors -  Peekaboo Peach from the bottom then Flirty Flamingo in the middle and then at the top Sweet Suagarplum - let that dry.

I then sponged around the edge of the shimmery white piece.

I added a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to it and then I attached it to Whisper White cardstock as the main card.

I used the beautiful Birthday Blooms which I stamped onto the Shimmery White cardstock with Basic Black Archival ink

and then watercoloured the flower in 

AND then fussy cut it out which took a long time!

I then attached the flower directly to the shimmery white

and added some touches of clear Wink of Stella to the flower.

Stamped "for YOU" on the bottom right hand side.

Thank you for stopping by.

Do go to the link above and see all the lovely cards that everyone has 

made for this challenge

Bye for now
