INK #347 Mood board

At Inkspirational our new challenge theme is a mood bard with colors. Normally I would spend a bit of time coming up with a design idea for this, but I immediately thought of my heart stamps from Tim Holtz and I used Distress inks, Oxides and Pinkfresh inks and it came together rather quickly. I love these colors together.

Inkspirational Challenge #334 - COLLABORATION with Color Hues Challenge #103

We have a new challenge over at Inkspirational Challenges. and this time we are collaborating with The Color Hues Challenge. We would like to see you create using RED AND PINK (any neutrals are also welcome).

I find color challenges challenging for myself, but I love seeing inspiration from others. So I kept it nice and uncomplicated, going for a one layer card, using Distress oxides Worn lipstick and Lumberjack plaid for a colored panel. I used a stamp set from Lavinia and I decorated the stamped flowers with pink gems - they are actually nail design gems that I got cheap at a spanish market.

INK #318 Moodboard - VW Beetle

At Inkspirational our challenge theme for the next two weeks is a mood board. What caught my eye was the photo with the car and the yellow and grey color combination
Out came my stamp from Aall&Create that ressembles a Volkswagen Beetle.My aunt had one of these and it was yellow, so I thought it would be a great choice for her birthday card.
I added a few grey enamel dots.

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.

I made a one layer sympathy card using the faux embossing technique and the colors kraft, brown and white. The sentiment is heat embossed. The flower stamp is from Penny Black.

INK #271 - One layer stamping

At Inkspirational we are saddened to have lost our dear teammate, Lindsey, to cancer. I will miss finding inspiration in her cards.

Our challenge this week is One layer stamping. I used a flower stamp from Penny Black, and a sentiment "Just for you, because you deserve it". The flowers were colored with Soft peach and Coral Promarkers.
However, I did also use a Tim Holtz plaid stencil as well, with kraft colored ink.So now I'm not 100% sure my DT card actually qualifies, but let's pretend I used the very similar plaid stamp I have, same brand, for this card:)
I also made som splatter with champagne colored paint.

INK #263 - Watercolour

For our new challenge at Inkspirational we have a technique challenge: Watercolour.
I used a Penny Black image and my metallic watercolor paints on a black background and gold embossing, I really like how the colors turned out. Added a bit of splatter too. And after finishing the card I actually realized I had made a one layer card- it's so much easier when it's unintentional, lol.

INK #251 Cheer - One layer Christmas card

For our new challenge at Inkspirational we have a word prompt - CHEER. I was thinking about the greeting Christmas cheer but couldn't find a stamp with this saying in my stash, then I thought of this cute image from Colorado Craft Company. The rabbit and the hedgehog have their arms raised, like they are cheering for the falling snowflakes.

First I stamped the image and clear embossed. Then I masked it off and started stencilling the moon, using a Spellbinders stemcil. I masked off the moon before making the blue night sky. The snowflakes from Tim Holtz were heat embossed in white. The senitment is from Hero Arts. Coloring is done with with my Inktense pencils
