INK #308 - Paper piecing

At Inkspirational our challenge for the next two weeks is "Paper Piecing.
Persoanlly I think paper piecing is lots of fun, it's a great altnerative to coloring and a super way to use up some scraps.
For me card I chose to go CAS with a Penny Black stamp and DPs in different shades og greys and blues, except for the palm trees whre I used a green leftover piece and green Stickles glue. I left some buildings untouched. All windows were colored with a silver glitter gel pen. One single Pinkfresh gem was added to the star. The card is acutally quite sparkly, but it doesn't show in the picture.

TioT - Add some text

Over at Try it on Tuesday our new challenge is "Add some text".

For my card today I went the masculine route with black and white and a more than a decade old typewriter stamp from Prima. And I used  background stamp of a much newer date (less than a year old) with a font similar to what you would get using an old typewriter. 
The sentiment translates  to something like "even youthful men like you celebrate birthdays every year".

INK #307 - Use stencils

At Inkspirational our first challenge of 2024 is "Use stencils" with the optional twist of using more than one stencil and/or use layering stencils.

I used the twist and combined a stencil from Altenew with one from Tim Holtz. I used only black, white and gret for a sympathy card with die cut leaves and bling from Pinkfresh.

TioT - Winter Blues

Over at Try it on Tuesday our first challenge of 2024 is "Winter Blues". 

I chose to create a winter scene using a combination of Lavinia and Hero Arts with black and blue inks.I added yellow around the lantern for a bit of glow. The sentiment is a sticker with a birthday greeting.I addded Wink of Stella to the trees and glitter glue to the fairy boy´s wings.
