My Card

I used the Seaside Notions stamp set, paired with a fun background I created using the Pigment Sprinkles. I really love this beautiful ocean-themed stamp set, with its sketchy lines. It’s perfect for watercoloring!!!

I stamped the seahorse with Pumpkin Pie ink, and watercolored it with Mango Melody and Daffodil Delight ink. I stamped the coral with Granny Apple Green ink, and then watercolored them with Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, and Mango Melody ink. Finally, I stamped the shells with Bermuda Bay ink, and watercolored them with Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay ink.

 I used the High Seas 3-D Embossing folder to add texture to a background layer and used the Feels Like Frost DSP in the Holiday Catalogue to add some shimmer.

Final touches included some pearls and unravelled some Braided Linen Trim.

The sentiment is embossed in white and then cut out using Ornate Frames Dies also from the Holiday Catalogue.

Now it's on to the lovely Narelle Macey to see her creation using the same combo.

Sail Away to Coastal Cobana

Thought I would get started on my stock of cards for men and upcoming Fathers Day as I seem to always be only making these as I need them. So my challenge to myself is to have at least 20 cards made ready for customers to purchase. This is the first one was very easy and would be good for a class project as well. 

I stamped and die cut the boat, coloured it in using the Stampin Blends Markers. The small birds were then stamped on the Whisper White Circle and the boat was adhered using mini dimensionals, this was then attached to the Early Espresso circle.

I stamped the compass and anchor randomly down the strip of Whisper White in Coastal Cabana and Early Espresso inks. The thin strip of Early Espresso was added to the right side and the panel added to the card front with glue. The circle piece was then added using dimensionals, the Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine was looped behind and the ships wheel trinket added.

INKspired-colour-challenge-103

Hi and welcome to another round of the INKspired Blog Hop You have just come from the wonderful designer of our Blog Hop Teneale Williams. I love the colours she has chosen this time round, it was so hard to pick just one card to use as I made several using this colour combo. Choices, choices, choices.

I went with a wedding card this time. I made the base in Soft Sea Foam CS with Mint Macaron CS and inked all over with Piece of Cake stamp set, then I ran it through the Subtles embossing folder. I added a bit of Whisper White Flax Ribbon and then decorated it with a panel using the Stitched Dies, Well Written and Lovely Flowers Dies using Soft Sea Foam, Vellum  and Basic Black CS.

I stamped the panel using Piece of Cake and Well Said, I coloured the cake and stand with Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray and Soft Sea Foam and added a touch of Dazzling Diamonds to the heart. Tag was white embossed.

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

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.

Ink: Night of Navy

Stamp Set: Tropical Chic

Cardbase Base: Night of Navy,Mint Macaroon, Pressed Petals Specialty DSP ( Rocco Rose Script) run through Subtle embossing folder 
Stitched Nested Labels (Crumb Cake), More Pressed Petals Specialty DSP fussy cut and mounted on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Embellishments & Ribbon: Scalloped Linen ribbon (Rocco Rose), , Pearl Basic Jewels, Bird Ballad Trinkets, Shimmer Paint

Now it is onto Narelle Macey and I can't wait to see what she has made always a great source of inspiration.
