INKspired #127 Sketch Challenge

 

Hi everyone.

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Before me on the hop was Sharon Arklay who I'm sure provided inspiration using 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!

Not long until Christmas is here!

Here's My Card:

I started my card with a Whisper White card base. My first layer was from the  Heartwarming Hugs DSP, this was followed by a Pear Pizzazz strip embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. My rectangle is cut from Whisper White. These are topped with some Mossy Meadow Diagonal Striped Ribbon, this was all adhered to the card base with multipurpose liquid glue. My lady gnome is from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set and is stamped in Momento Black ink. I coloured her with an assortment of Stampin Markers and Stampin Blends. I used the Layering Oval Dies to cut around the gnome and also used a scalloped Layering Oval die and cut another piece from the same DSP - Heartwarming Hugs but using the reverse side, these were attached to the card using dimensionals. The sentiment, also from Gnome for the Season is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder on a strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock which I cut at and angle on one end with snips.   

I finished the card with 3 Pearl Basic Jewels which I coloured using a Real Red Stampin Blender Pen.

The inside is layered with Pear Pizazz, then Whisper White. The Pear Pizzazz has been stamped around the outside in Pear Pizzazz Ink with the same image as the card front, only just her hat which is also a tree. The Whisper White layer is stamped with the same hat/tree image and sentiment is also from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder. The tree has then been coloured with Stampin Blends. Both layers were attached using multipurpose liquid glue.

Thank you for stopping by, next up is Narelle Macey,

Looking forward to seeing what Narelle has created this time round

I hope you gain some inspiration from our hop

INKspired #125 Plaid Inspired Scrap

 

Hi everyone.

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Before me on the hop was Sharon Arklay who I'm sure provided inspiration using the add Plaid Inspired Scrap Challenge below designed by Teneale Williams:

How about you have a go with this add Plaid INKspired Scrap Challenge?

I would love to see what you come up with!

Plaid is not something I normally use but usually avoid, 

but I totally enjoyed this

I made 2 cards for this challenge:

My first Card

I started my card with a Blackberry Bliss card base. My first layer was the Plaid Tidings DSP taking the full face of the card. This was followed by a Mango Melody then Whisper White cardstock cut smaller but in the same size. The stampset used is Lovely You and the colours used are Mango Melody, Seaside Spray and Blackberry Bliss. The Sentiment strip is cut from Seaside Spray Cardstock. The Sentiment, also from Lovely You is stamped in Blackberry Bliss. The end of the sentiment is has been punched with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. I wound some Gold Metallic Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack around the sentiment strip. The card was then finished with 3 Gold Metallic Pearls.

My second card

I started my card with a Thick Whisper White card base. My first layer was Real Red cardstock, followed by a Whisper White layer. DSP used is from Plaid Tidings which I attached to the Whisper White layer at an angle and cut around the layer edge. I then used my score tool with a metal ruler and scored some lines around the DSP. I then tied a bow in Real Red Sheer Ribbon and attached it to the layer over the DSP with glue dots. The stampset used on this card is Gnome For The Holidays which I stamped the greeting and gnome in momento black. I also stamped the gnome using Momento Black once again on the DSP and cut around his hat and attached to the image stamped on the card. Colouring was done using Stampin Up Markers.

These cards have made me gain more interest in using Plaid more often, not just at Christmas time.
