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.

INK #283 - Use stencils

At Inkspirational we want to see you use your stencils. You can also incorporate the optional twist which of  'Add Splatters', it's up to you.

I used a stencil from Stamplorations and added splatter with a golden watercolor paint.
I used a heart as a backdrop for the silver mirri card birdcage and lovebirds, made with a die set from Memory Box.

Baby shaker card with a heart

I've been joining an online scrapping event this weekend, arranged by a Norwegian store, and I made this card for one of their challenges.
I love seeing Valentine's cards, but I don't use any myself (or, maybe I'll make one, that's all I need), nor do any other family member, so decided to go with a baby card instead. 

I used a favorite embossing folder, it reminds me of a baby blanket. I cut out a heart window and added sequins, some of which were hearts, as shaker elements.

I used paper from an old paper pad from Pebbles and a die cut word, using an old die from Memory Box.

INK #258 - Heart and flower photo

I

For our challenge this fortnight at Inkspirational we have a photo which is perfect for the the month of love.
I pulled out my decade old bird stamp (first used back in 2012), and a sentiment that I feel fits many occasions of love,
The beautiful DP is full of flowers and I used a plaid one to die cut the scalloped borders. The final finishing touches were 3 green  rhinstones and a pink sparkly heart sticker.

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.

Ink #222 Day

We have a new challenge at Inkspirational and this time it's a word prompt: DAY. There are so many options, but I went with a card suitable for the occasion of an engagement, a wedding or anniversary, for a mature couple who would keep things rather on the simple side and not too formal.  

The pigs are made with clear stamps from an Aall & Create set. I gave them paper pieced clothings using scraps, and Mrs Pig also got enamel liquid pearls for her necklace.
The sentiment is from MFT. I used fun foam for the die cut heart background and red mirri card for the smaller one.

I love purses and accessories...

Today starts a new challenge over at Catch the Bug - our challenge this week is BINGO.

I used Heels and Accessories, colored with Promarkers and 'glossified' with glossy accent on the pearl necklace. I put it onto a little square of vellum paper with glitter flowers, which I machine stitched onto the background. I used an ombré colored DP, dry embossed and covered it with glitter paste. The sentiment - wishing you a super day - was stamped onto a die cut heart with cross stitched pattern.

You are precious

I used an image with a penguin from Snowman Set 02 and I was also inspired by the snow.

For the the panel I mixed blue, green and yelllow DIs. I used a stitched hill dies(Poppy), a bubble speech stitched die  and stitched frame die (MFT). The sentiment is from Altenew. I mounted the panel onto an embossed snowflake background.

First Stella Says Sketch of 2020


We are back with the first sketch challenge of 2020 over at Catch the Bug.


I colored up Dog Heart topper with Promarkers.
I placed it onto a background made with Distress Oxides and brusho. Using my stamping platform I first stamped the sentiment onto the background, then I added the image and stamped again. I think the sentiment came out nicely and without the booboos I feared would happen.
Along the edges I added a brand new washi tape.

Distress Oxides and brushos

Today starts the first challenge of 2020 over at Catch the Bug our challenge this week is Anything goes.

I used a pup holding a heart, colored with Promarkers.

For the background I tried something new for me, misxing Distress Oxides in reds and pinks and a little bit of brusho. I finally got hold of some watercolor paper, which I managed to keep quite flat.

I used a leftover piece of DP with hearts.
The sentiment is part of a new die/stamp set from Concord & 9th.
