INKspired-Bloghop-102 VERY VERSAILLES

Welcome to a new round of the INKspired blog hop, we have all created cards this time, around the same sketch. I love being able to play long each fortnight with the INKspired Team members. 

If this is your first stop please hop over to the other team players to see what they have created using the Sketch Teneale Williams has designed for us this week.

Front of card

I'm missing my beautiful garden at the moment as it is the middle of Winter here in Bathurst AU and everything is looking very brown and frost bitten, so I decided to make my very own garden wall using Garden Green Cardstock, Garden Lane DSP as the trellis up both sides and my beautiful new stamp set Very Versailles I know I will be using those leaves on a lot of my projects. I added some texture with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder. Then for a touch of Spring poking through (soon I hope) I added some flowers from the Bird Bird Ballard DSP.

There is also a touch of Wink of Stella, some pearls and a smidgen of Scalloped Lace Trim.

Ink: Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz & Garden Green

The next INKspired artist you are going to visit is Narelle Macey

Roses, Roses, Roses

The roses on the Mosaic Mood paper are almost good enough to sniff,it has a lovely glossy finish which is difficult to see in the photos but close up you can see that the image is made from these tiny geometric shapes, but when you stand back you can see these beautiful patterns,it has beautiful roses, hummingbirds, leaves and other pretty patterns.

I made two cards using this beautiful paper.

I stamped the background with the new Birch background stamp using Soft Sea Foam ink on Soft Sea Foam CS then mounted it on Blushing Bride CS.

I then cut out the roses, leave, butterflies and the hummingbirds from one sheet and the strip down the middle from another. These were then glued on and also mounted on dimensional's to give some depth. Added some bling and Whisper White Bakers Twine to one card.

INKspired Combo Challenge #INK101

I love that I've been invited to play along each fortnight with the INKspired Team members. Firstly a big thank you to our very talented Teneale Williams for all her inspiring blog posts and awesome cards and to Narelle Macey my wonderful up line for encouraging me to join in, another exceptionally talented lady.

You may have come to me from Jo Wilson

This is my first time posting in a blog hop so a little nervous but here goes

First things first these colours were a challenge but I guess that's the point to stretch our thinking past our safe zone.

I had to think hard for this one as I have not received my In Colour order yet ( I was to excited ordering other products completely missed them oops ) so the only thing I had was my paper and ribbon shares of Rocco Rose to pick from.

I seem to be on a fussy cutting roll at present with all the Bird Ballard DSP may as well keep going so here is my card using the INKspired Combo.

Hope you like it.
