Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #49 and Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #44



So sooooo annoyed at myself!!!! I've been struggling to upload photo's to my blog all day and have been trying on this blog and also my family blog and in the end gave it up in frustration! Have come back to it now to realise that I actually can upload so just started doing my thing without realising which blog I was on only to discover I have loaded all my craft stuff onto the family blog and have no idea how to get it over here without retyping the whole damn thing!!!!

So here I am retyping the whole damn thing!!!! :)

I'm going to keep it brief! hehehehe

Inkspiration and Just Add Ink Challenges  - combined - see below...

And here is my card...

The Sketch is flipped but otherwise fairly true to form. The colours however I had to do a little bit of 'making do'??? I don't actually own any Wild Wasabi or River Rock Cardstock yet - however - I was saved by the fact that I do own the inks (my very first set of inks when they were In Colours in 2007/2008). I was very impressed that they were still inky!!! So - I've used Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake as well as Very Vanilla and used Wild Wasabi to colour in my leaves, and River Rock with highlights of Blushing Bride to colour in my flowers. All in all a very vintagey looking card...





A close up of those flowers - I love these flowers...

Ok - so I can't be bothered writing out all my supplied AGAIN so, if you have any questions just shoot me a line! :) :) :)

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Well hello there friends! Just popping in today to share with you a little card I made using the Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge for this week - super cool sketch - so great to play with...

And here is what I came up with...

Way too many photo's I know - I just can never choose which one to post!!! hehehehe

Recognise that flower? I stole the idea from the Idea & Catalogue Book  - check out page 153. :) All I did was run out a set of circles on the Big Shot with the Circles #2 Die, then I used a little misting bottle to wet the paper and scrunched, set aside till they dried and then opened them up. I really like how they've turned out - nice and soft and relaxed. Will definitely be making more of these that's for sure...

Stamps: Baroque BG, Echoes of Kindness, Word Play

Ink: Concord Crush, Stazon Black, Perfect Plum

Paper: Concord Crush, Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla

Other: Big Shot, Circles #2 Die, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Blender Pen, Antique Brads, Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Come again soon!

Echoes of Kindness

So we haven't posted anything for awhile....but we're back! Adele and I have been enjoying the holidays and letting our creative juices rest (just for a little while!) but we have also tried some new things and come up with some lovely cards.

I got out a level 2 hostess set (Echoes of Kindness) and decided I needed to try all four stamps in the set and make a bunch of cards to showcase how beautiful and versatile the flowers are in this set. They look great in all colours and I can't decide which flower I love the best. I think these cards will be a future stamp a stack class for sure!!

Look out for some more of our 'holiday cards' posts soon!!
