Winter trio

Over at Catch the Bug, Thursday is 'Oldie but goodie' day and that's when we showcase some of the older Bugaboo images.

The image, Winter trio, is colored with Promarkers and a white gel pen, and I used hexagon and wreath dies to frame the image. I used a black pen to draw a line ariound the edges.

A die cut snowflake with a pearl brad was added as embellishment. Sentiment is a sticker from Tim Holtz.

INK #233 Tower

For our Inkspirational challenge this fortnight we have a word prompt - TOWER. 

I went with a rather obvious choice - the Eiffel Tower. I wanted to try to make a mini slimline card (3,5x6 inches) and to go feminine, using my Maja Design papers and some of my many flowers - I've got a large collection as I use them rather seldom. I stamped the sentiment and the die cut tower was heat embossed with silver embossing powder.

Masculine card with no stamps, dies or stencils

Having lots of boys in my life (I have 5 nephews, from age 5 to mid 20s), plus the more adult male family members, I'm always in need of masculine designs. And I love making them.

This card came together rather quickly with toppers from a Maja Design paper pad.
The sentiment and scallopped border I belive were part of a set from Kaisercraft.
Corrugated paper and an embossed background with woodwork pattern.
I swiped my white inkpad over the surface to tone down the intensity of the blue color.
No fancy stuff used, no stamps, dies or stencils, just paper.

INK #232 - Hearts

For our Inkspirational challenge this fortnight Lindsey has chosen the theme of hearts. 

I have one heart on my card but it was made using two dies, along with glitter paper. The heart was made as a frame for the lit up scene of bulidings and lamp post. I used a gold metallic water paint, black for splatters. The cat was made with a magazine freebie stamp.
