INKspired #136 Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone.

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Before me on the hop was Teresa Irwin, please hop back and check out her creation

This weeks challenge 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!

I started my card with a Basic White card base. My first layer was some True Love Designer Series Paper. This was  followed by a strip of Basic Black, then a slightly smaller strip of Silver Foil Sheet and then slightly smaller Basic White strip. 

A background swipe of colour on the strip of Basic White was created from a swipe of Versamark which was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.

"Always" was die cut from the Always Dies set in Rococo Rose Cardstock.

I then added a little bling with with a Heart Charm and Matte Black Dots.

A bow finished the card off made from Linen Thread.

The inside is layered with Rococo Rose Cardstock to carry on from the front of the card, then Basic White with a strip of True Love DSP and Rococo Rose. A few flowers were coloured with a Rococo Rose Marker and Rococo Rose Ink applied with a Blending Brush, They are so easy to use!

Thank you for stopping by, next up is Allison McLeod

I look forward to seeing Allison's creations, always so beautiful

INKspired #128 Colour Challenge

 

Hi everyone,

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Before me on the hop was Maree McIntosh, who I'm sure gave you inspiration with her wonderful creation using the Colour Combo Challenge below:

Make sure you hop all the way around to check out the wonderful and talented creations everyone has contributed this time round!

How about you have a go with this Colour Challenge?

I would love to see what you come up with!

This colour challenge would have to be the hardest combination of colours for me to gain inspiration, I knew I wanted to use the Good Morning Magnolia Stampset as I wanted something different from a Christmas Card, but how and what was my dilemma!

Here's My Card:

I started with a Sahara Sand card base. My first layer was also Sahara Sand which was popped up with dimensionals, followed by Sahara Sand and Misty Moonlight alternating card strips. These were all attached using multipurpose glue. I also added a piece of Mossy Meadow Striped Ribbon. My flower, from the Good Morning Magnolia Stampset was stamped using Stazon Ink onto Whisper White Thick Cardstock, I stamped 2 images. The colouring was done my using a sponge dauber and Mossy Meadow Ink for the leaves on one image and a Rococo Rose Marker, blender pen and some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush for the flower on the other image. Both images were die cut using the Magnolia Memory Dies, the flower image I cut away the leaves using my snips and layered it on top of the other image of leaves. Using the sponge dauber can get a little messy trying to stay within the lines so layering the flower on top saved this. The leaves were curled using my bone folder then attached to the card layer using multipurpose glue. My sentiment, also from the Good Morning Magnolia Stampset, was stamped using Misty Moonlight on the Sahara Sand strip. I finished the card with some Pearl Basic Jewels.

The inside is layered with Misty Moonlight, then Whisper White. The saying, from Good Morning Magnolia Stampset and has been stamped in Misty Moonlight. The magnolia, from the same stampset has been stamped with Stazon Ink and coloured with a Rococo Rose Marker and Blender Pen, The leaves are coloured using a Water Painter, without the water and Mossy Meadow Ink. Three corners were given the Trio Punch treatment. The layers have been attached using multipurpose glue.

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

Looking forward to seeing what she has created this time round
