INK #297 Clothing/closet

At Inkspirational we have a clothing or closet themed challenge for you. 
I made a baby card using a stamp with a clothing line with baby clothes. I chose grey and peachy colors and kept it quite clean and simple.
I encourage you to head over to the challenge blog to see what my INK-teamies have made.

TioT - Let's go outside

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge theme is "Let's go outside". For this challenge I went with a one layer square card design, using a stencil from Sweet Poppy to make the maple leaf outline with Speckled egg Distress Oxide.
Inside the leaf I used a Holly Hobby stamp, it is part of a set that came free with a magazine ages ago and it had yet to see ink.I colored with my Inktense pencils and stamped a birthday greeting.

Stripes and Lighthouse

I love the ocean and I love making masculine cards, and I am always in need of them, so I chose to make a nautical design.
The striped paper is from Maja Design and the die cuts are from Scrapboys. I added cheese cloth and a sentiment from Tim Holtz.I used my rounded corner punch.

INK #296 - Irisdescent

At Inkspirational we have a new challenge - Marlena has chosen the theme of "irisdescent".
I have had this shiny paper that is shifting colors in my stash for what, 15 years? I never felt the need to use it. Now I aactually wish I had more:)
The black outline die cuts very embossed with clear holographic embossing powder for extra sparkle and color, and the sequins are clear ones shifting colors as you turn them in the light.

TioT - Sing a song/Music inspired

Over at Try it on Tuesday Sing A Song is our new challenge and we would like to see anything Music inspired.
I don't know about you, but just be looking at the sentiment "You are my sunshine" a melody immediately starts playing in my head. And of course my card had to include a large sun, it's die cut and inked with yellow, and a blue DP was put behind to mimic the sky. A few die cut flowers were added.

INK #295 - Use stencils

At Inkspirational we went live with a new challenge for you on Saturday, but I haven't been able to blog it before now. The challenge theme is to use stencils, with the optional twist of Use Layering Stencils. 

I used a plaid stencil from Pinfresh Studio which consists of 2 stencils to make the background pattern. I used an Altenew stamp for the pine branches around the edges and to get some snow I heat embossed with frantage.
The angel image I have received from Nonni - I so love this stamp, so if someone has it and feel they don't need it anymore, please let me know as I'd like to buy one:) I colored with Promarkers, added glitter Stickles to their wings and fussy cut it. The Christmas sentiment is die cut with gold glitter card.

I encourage you to head over to the challenge blog to see what my INK-teamies have made.
