INKspired #146 Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone.

Welcome to this fortnight's INKspired Blog Hop!

Life's events had forced me to take a short break but I am glad to be back and cannot wait to see what our talented team have for us this time round. 

I hope everyone is safe and well.

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

This week 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 Cinnamon Cider card base. My first layer was Basic White which I embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing folder that I added some Cinnamon Cider Ink to. 

My stamp set of choice for this week is Feels Like Home from our SALE-a-bration catalogue which ends on the 30th September, not long now to get your freebies, just spend $90 and you get this set free! 

My image has been stamped with Cinnamon Cider Ink, I have highlighted parts of the bike with a Dark Soft Succulent Stampin Blend. My leaves on the plants and tree have been sporadically coloured using both the Dark and Light Soft Succulent Blends. I have cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. This has been adhered to a piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock which I have roughed up the edges using my paper Snips. I have used a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the bottom of the image another piece has been tied to it by just using a knot, it has been adhered to the back of the card using glue dots. I have mounted the image to the card base using Stampin Dimensionals.

My sentiment comes from the Pansy Patch stamp set which is in our annual catalogue, a personal favourite of mine.

My sentiment Happy Birthday, has been stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink on Soft Succulent Cardstock and has been die cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

It has been adhered to the card using Stampin Dimensionals and Glue dots.

My finishing touches to the card front were 3 basic pearl Jewels which I coloured using Soft Succulent Blends.

The inside is layered with Soft Succulent Cardstock, followed by Basic White. My sentiment comes from the Pansy Patch stamp set and has been stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink. My flower pot also stamped in Cinnamon Cider is from the Feels Like Home stamp set, this has touches of colour with a Soft Succulent Blend.

INKspired #141 Sketch

 

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 week 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 began with a Soft Succulent card base. I then cut a smaller layer from Soft Succulent Card and embossed it using the Greenery Embossing Folder. My strips are cut from the Hand Penned DSP and I also included a strip of Vellum which I embossed with the Greenery Embossing Folder. I topped the strips off with Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon.

My focal point of the card began with a scalloped circle in Daffodil Delight cut using a Scalloped Circle Die and a Basic White Circle also cut from the Layering Circle dies. My image has been stamped using Momento Ink and the image is from the Hand Penned Petals stamp set. The image is coloured using Blends in Daffodil Delight and Soft Succulent. My first attempt using the Gold Gilded Leafing proved that this will take some practice. My card has been finished with some Gold Metallic Pearls.

The inside is layered with Basic White Cardstock, a smaller scalloped circle cut from Daffodil Delight and a part of the flower, as on the front of the card, was stamped in Momento ink and coloured using Daffodil Delight and Soft Succulent Blends and a little Gilded Leafing added. A few splatters of Daffodil Delight were added using a Blend.
