INK #154 Sketch Challenge

 Hi everyone,

It is wonderful to be back Blog Hopping again!

Please join us every month, I always look forward to seeing the designs everyone comes up with.

Welcome to this INKspired Blog Hop!

This hop is based upon the Sketch Challenge below, designed by Teneale Williams:

How about you have a go with this Sketch Challenge?

I would love to see what you come up with!

My card begins with a Basic White card base. My first layer is Rich Razzleberry which has been embossed with the Cascading Ruffles 3D folder.

I have then die cut 2 pieces of Wonderful World DSP and a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I have layered these on some Rich Razzleberry cardstock which is cut using the paper trimmer adding another 5mm to the 1st layer, the 3rd layer is the reverse side of the Wonderful World DSP adding another 5mm, layers are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and attached to the card with Dimensionals in the pattern as per the Sketch provided.

My sentiment on Basic White is from the Go To Greetings stamp set from our annual catalogue, stamped in one of our 2022-2024 in colours Orchid Oasis. This has been cut also using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The sentiment is layered on a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock and popped up with Dimensionals.

The Iris from the Wonderful World Stamp set, has been stamped, after being coloured with Pear Pizzazz - for the leaves and stem and Orchid Oasis markers, for the flower. I have then stamped the Iris Flower again on a separate piece of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it and adhered it over the stamped flower to add a little more dimension.

The card front has been finished with 2022-2024 In Colour Matte Decorative Dots in Orchid Oasis.

The inside of my card has a Cornflour, also from the Wonderful World stampset, it carries the DSP on the front of the card to the inside. The Cornflour is also stamped as the Iris has been on the front, using Pear Pizzazz and Orchid Oasis and extra layer of the flower. A strip of Wonderful World DSP, as layered on the card front finishes the bottom of the card inside.

The Wonderful World stamp set and DSP is available only until the end of August from the current SALE a-bration! promotion. They are both FREE when you spend $180 on any Stampin' Up! products.

INK #152 Colour Challenge

 Hi everyone,

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

I managed to use all the colours, Here's my card:

I started my card with a Basic White card base. For my first layer, I have used bermuda bay cardstock which I have embossed with one of the greenery embossing folders. 

This was  followed by a layer of basic grey which I cut using the Scalloped Contour dies, I also used the scoring blade on my cutter and ran a score across each scallop, I attached this to the card front with dimensionals.

 I used the penned flowers dies to cut 2 flower images from basic grey cardstock, these were adhered using multipurpose glue.

I stamped my floral image from the hand-penned petals set, in basic grey ink on basic white cardstock. I have coloured the flowers and leaves using stamps from the same set in Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody and Old Olive Ink. This is die cut using the penned flowers dies and attached using dimensionals.

My sentiment comes from the hand-penned stamp set, has been stamped with white craft ink on a strip of bermuda bay card. 

I have finished the card by adding 3 silver metallic pearls.

The inside is layered with basic white cardstock, die cut at each end using the scallop die from penned flowers dies. I have stamped each end with a speckled stamp from the hand-penned petals in mango melody.

My image and sentiment are both from the hand-penned petals stamp set and using flirty flamingo and old olive I have coloured the leaves and flowers.

I have finished the inside by splattering some bermuda bay ink and attached it using multipurpose adhesive.

INK #151 Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone.

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Not far until Christmas now!

Before me on the hop was Julie Martin, please hop back and check out her creation for this week.

This week is based upon the Sketch Challenge below, designed by Teneale Williams:

I would love to see what you come up with!

My card began with a Misty Moonlight card base. My first layer a piece of Whimsy & Wonder DSP.

I have then cut a strip of Misty Moonlight and used the Gingham Embossing Folder from the upcoming Mini Catalogue January to June 2022, this was cut at the bottom to give the shape required from the sketch with my paper snips.

I then die cut a circle from Basic White using the layering circle dies.

My stamped image is from the Whimsical Trees stampset in Misty Moonlight and has some Silver metallic Pearls added. The circle has been stood up on dimensionals.

My sentiment is also from the Whimsical Trees Stampset which I have embossed using Silver Embossing Powder.

My card is finished with a triple bow made from Grey Granite Shimmer Ribbon.
