Ink #225 - Night

We have a new challenge at Inkspirational and this time it's a word prompt - NIGHT.

After some failing attempts of creating a night sky I changed direction and went with a black and white theme, a mix of dies (sleig is Marianne, sentiment is Hero Arts and buildings are Memory Box) and created a scene with Santas's sleigh. The stars are stamped and I added frantage for snow.

Catch the Bug photo challenge

Today starts a new challenge over at Catch the Bug. This time it's  a photo challenge. It's rare for me to make Halloween cards, but I think the colors suited one and I chose thos sweet Knobby knees witch, colored with Promarkers.
I used an orange Halloween themed paper with a little sparkle on for the background - this must be one of the oldest ones in my DP collection. Otherwise I used a die cut frame, Dymo sentiment (trick or treat in Norwegian), a sticker and a star brad.

Ink #224 Photo with witch

We have a new challenge at Inkspirational and this time it's a photo challenge.
I found this witch at a fair, I couldn't resist getting her. She's from Lost Coast Design. I don't have many Halloween themed stamps and couldn't find a fitting sentiment, but I will be on the lookout for one. I was also onspired by the colors and layout of the photo, I used blue, orange and brown inks. I used a text stamp and leaf and greenery border stamps from Concord&9th.

Sketch #816 with Gus Tidbits - Spontaneous

Today starts a new sketch challenge over at Catch the Bug. I used Gus Tidbits - Spontaneous.

Ink #223 Angle It

We have a new challenge at Inkspirational and this time it's Marlena who chose the theme: ANGLE IT.

This theme proved to be a challenge for me, which caught me by surprise. Apparantly I'm close to being obsessed keeping things straight and orderly. I looked through my previous cards and I couldn't find one that totally fits the theme. I used a leaf border stamp from Concord&9th and it's not placed straight, neither horizontally nor vertically. It's placed at an angle. If you look closely you will also see that the Season die cut is not straight either. Sentiment dies are from Concord&9th and the leaf dies are Lawn Fawn.

Please head over to the challenge blog to see what the my INK-teamies have made.
