INK #279 - Paper Piecing

At Inkspirational we have a technique challenge for you, and it's paper piecing (not piercing). 

I used a plaid paper for the gift and cut out the bow and bells and glued on top. I used Promarkers for coloring. The image is from Stamping Bella

The backgtround is stencilled, I used a Pinkfresh stencil. Or rather 4, it's a set and it makes it super easy and quick to add different colored inks.

The sentiment is cut with silver glitter paper.

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

INK #278 - Photo Challenge - Snow globe

At Inkspirational we have a photo challenge. I chose to make a snow globe with a scene, but you could just be in(k)spired by what's inside the snow globe if you wanted to.

I used my Tim Holtz dies set for this card. I spent many hours making it, it's so fiddly with all the small details of the windows and such, but I also spent time on choosing the papers. Most papers are Tim Holtz as well, as is the sentiment chipboard. The snowglobe background is stamped and stencilled.

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

Guest Designer at We Love Stamping

Today I'm guest designing over at We Love Stamping.

I've had this Penny Black stamp for quite some time and have used it before, but this was the first time I tried the technique of coloring directly on the stamp. I used aqua markers and it was really easy, and it's the only way I an think of that lets you get the colors in all the right places. I added frosted glitter and frantage, ripped paper at the top and bottom, ribbon and lace and did messy machine stitching.
