The stunning parrot and the leave dies come from <a href="https://waffleflower.com/products/tropical-kit-die" target="_blank">Tropical Kit die set</a>. The background is made with <a href="https://waffleflower.com/products/pop-up-tropical-leaves-texture-die" target="_blank">Pop Up Tropical Leaves Texture die </a>and matching <a href="https://waffleflower.com/products/duo-tone-tropical-leaves-stencil" target="_blank">Duo-Tone Tropical Leaves stencil set</a>. The white heat embossed and die cut sentiment comes from a flower stamp set <a href="https://waffleflower.com/products/sunflower-love-stamp-set" target="_blank">Sunflower Love</a>. Waffle Flower Crafts truly is one of my favorite companies -I'm ready to say I've never made a card with their products that I've not loved loved loved! This one is no exception!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the background and die cut leaves I used grey card stock and some greyish Altenew inks. I love the contrast between the parrot and the grey die cuts -I didn't use any inking for the parrot but he is cut from solid card stock pieces. I'm almost certain my parrot is a he! The sassy hair has a manly vibe to me! :) I hope that's ok for our "Birds of Feather" challenge lol. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'd like to join: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://stencilfun.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stencil fun for March</a>: Anything Goes option</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://die-cut-divas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Die Cut Divas Challenge</a> for March: Anything Goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /></div><p> </p>Nonnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909876572116470552noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909119232448371388.post-87164810311155760222024-03-09T15:26:00.005+02:002024-03-09T15:26:40.908+02:00New Post at Inkspirational!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmHKHYHwlsve09Kc32uFsrnh1AK0nEIVF6VJ3UofcFUAU9m2Z1BXCMUR2s0rN2fQL7LZLOeiuO45A005bxVFDrfdyYsG30tbRYeQJgOFexNnaZY8cIgRsXUTobo2HeM9XIfgwstyOswqhV8cABsrrEijTwlRXYqvSnAA6x_RQGpBEp5dBLV-VQrNOSYe7A/s1344/IMG_6377.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1344" data-original-width="1344" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmHKHYHwlsve09Kc32uFsrnh1AK0nEIVF6VJ3UofcFUAU9m2Z1BXCMUR2s0rN2fQL7LZLOeiuO45A005bxVFDrfdyYsG30tbRYeQJgOFexNnaZY8cIgRsXUTobo2HeM9XIfgwstyOswqhV8cABsrrEijTwlRXYqvSnAA6x_RQGpBEp5dBLV-VQrNOSYe7A/w400-h400/IMG_6377.heic" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi friends!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm here with my DT card for our new CAS challenge at<a href="http://inkspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Inkspirational</a>!

Because we go live on a Leap Day, we have chosen a fun photo with a frog for your inspiration! Do note though that you do not need to use a frog for the challenge -you can be inspired by the colors, shapes, patterns of the photo or just see where the photo leads you! We look forward seeing your creative takes!

The background was inspired by "bubbles" on the the black platform the frog is sitting on -I used a Jane's Doodles stencil and clear sparkly embossing powder for creating it.

We are celebrating our 10th birthday. Yes, 10th!! We therefore have 10 sponsor prizes for grabs... And also as a special treat Time Out co-founder <a href="https://sandiesandie16.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sandie </a>is joining us in the fun. Head on over to Time Out Challenges for all the challenge details and lots of inspiration!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to play with an <a href="https://altenew.com/" target="_blank">Altenew</a> image (they are one of our sponsors) and I decided to choose one from my stash that I hadn't ever colored in yet. I've made several cards with this stamp but always using the coloring stencils. Coloring in your images of course makes more time... But it is so relaxing for me and always makes me feel very creative. My plan for 2024 is to find more time for coloring in! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For the sunflowers, their leaves and tulip leaves I used my new Altenew watercolor brush markers -love love love them. I have the winter- and spring sets. Such a beautiful product!! For the tulips and small flowers I had to grab some other mediums to have suitable colors for Altenew February Inspiration challenge color palette -this obviously means I need more of those water color brush markers, right?!? :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope to see you playing along at Time Out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm playing along:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blog.altenew.com/altenew-february-2024-inspiration-challenge/" target="_blank">Altenew February Inspiration Challenge</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blog.altenew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Inspiration-Challenge-2024-012-Option-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="443" data-original-width="800" height="178" src="https://blog.altenew.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Inspiration-Challenge-2024-012-Option-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Seize The Birthday</a>: Splatter</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPyiKm2qDjP80lPzKV7RP7G_XgICg8clX40QAtcYZM0aCe24tfYlvu85K47e7Fgz4OK4JAoWuyIHeCGcF73Hka_DReFnRzoYqrIuX7HJAn2y_P5aMaDyph1cq0F0UuP4zITTIqJ96bsUMevLa1sSmclBz6iCf00vy2QHCURpBpEgrMv5cWbhneXQez720/s300/02-08-Splatter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPyiKm2qDjP80lPzKV7RP7G_XgICg8clX40QAtcYZM0aCe24tfYlvu85K47e7Fgz4OK4JAoWuyIHeCGcF73Hka_DReFnRzoYqrIuX7HJAn2y_P5aMaDyph1cq0F0UuP4zITTIqJ96bsUMevLa1sSmclBz6iCf00vy2QHCURpBpEgrMv5cWbhneXQez720/s1600/02-08-Splatter.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Nonnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909876572116470552noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909119232448371388.post-45825535263242764922024-02-10T08:00:00.033+02:002024-02-10T08:00:00.137+02:00New Challenge at Inkspirational! <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF1wGXFUrFm5Xo5pV58LUR3js-BK3uXRyj04EyQOpjF0xCycoEz0tIRxAPHpsR8dWRmbXd3lSh3A5Qhr4sAnlRe2Ioygr9kiIFjQN6nqbGtggtAoGlDY5CX21Gwkdm1QeTovpGVo7wjyJxak2mhSPagNb1Q6ymqol5L72ZM_TATtqiiwYrGZmBS8dVhvAA/s1812/IMG_5885.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1812" data-original-width="1812" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF1wGXFUrFm5Xo5pV58LUR3js-BK3uXRyj04EyQOpjF0xCycoEz0tIRxAPHpsR8dWRmbXd3lSh3A5Qhr4sAnlRe2Ioygr9kiIFjQN6nqbGtggtAoGlDY5CX21Gwkdm1QeTovpGVo7wjyJxak2mhSPagNb1Q6ymqol5L72ZM_TATtqiiwYrGZmBS8dVhvAA/w400-h400/IMG_5885.heic" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi friends!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have a new challenge "Hearts" at <a href="http://inkspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Inkspirational Challenges</a>.

There's 3 layers of the pink flowers so they pop up beautifully from the centre. I covered them with Stickles too to make them very shiny. Small pink gems add to the shine as well.

The outline stamp is by Funky Fossil Designs and is called Lotus Reflections -isn't it gorgeous? The stamp set has a large stamp and a separate lotus flower -both are used here. I did some minor masking for the design in the top left corner. The splatter stencil I used is super old and I have forgotten the maker of it. Love the style of the splatters in this stencil!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope to see you playing along. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xxx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'd like to join:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge</a>: Anything Goes</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Nonnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909876572116470552noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909119232448371388.post-42891503398648817462024-01-27T08:00:00.036+02:002024-01-27T08:00:00.249+02:00New Challenge at Inkspirational!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wss0LeY0v_i6qRQNRk_7twAi6LxGhyQeGjpuh-eFC9KEdopWyy_jIfgaA2Eui2Hcr4H80H_rpcwqcelYn9Sxi5ICI-1Z3zNvmv9F6QZBlAm4wybpYMTKtQ4Btt_rlagsX24nZYrNdztoFvgQXhFsrNje04A-N9OKRLYME3BcXtJfCy6Rex1VRLwavWhY/s1525/IMG_5737.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1525" data-original-width="1525" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wss0LeY0v_i6qRQNRk_7twAi6LxGhyQeGjpuh-eFC9KEdopWyy_jIfgaA2Eui2Hcr4H80H_rpcwqcelYn9Sxi5ICI-1Z3zNvmv9F6QZBlAm4wybpYMTKtQ4Btt_rlagsX24nZYrNdztoFvgQXhFsrNje04A-N9OKRLYME3BcXtJfCy6Rex1VRLwavWhY/w400-h400/IMG_5737.heic" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi friends!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm here with my DT card for <a href="http://inkspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Inkspirational</a>!

Please head on over or <a href="http://timeoutchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">our challenge blog</a> for all the news, challenge information and lots of DT inspiration! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I tried two new (to me) things in this card:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-double embossing with glitter embossing powder for the Gina K feather die cut</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-black on black raised die cut background</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wanted to use a WOW embossing glitter I had purchased and never tried (oh so that was new too!) and I wanted to make this very sturdy and thickly embossed die cut with it... So I embossed the die cut with the powder twice. A simple technique many of you have probably done many many times but for me this was a first try lol! The photo doesn't do justice to the color and shine of the feather.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I pretty often cut white cover plate backgrounds, glue them on another piece of white card and then use those as backgrounds... So I wanted to see how that would look with black card. Very cool I think! I definitely want to try this with other colors too -no idea why I have only done this with white card this far! This cover plate die is by Winnie and Walter, sadly no longer running. The sentiment is by Altenew. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'd like to join:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://pearlysparkleschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Pearly Sparkles Challenge</a>: CAS </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/" target="_blank">Simon Says Wednesday Challenge</a>: Something New</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/2024/01/challenge-737-whats-new.html" target="_blank">Little Red Wagon</a>: What's New</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://paperminutes.blogspot.com/2024/01/paperminutes-827-etwas-neuessomething.html" target="_blank">Paper Minutes</a>: Something New</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Nonnihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15909876572116470552noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-909119232448371388.post-56415704330212058262023-12-30T08:00:00.037+02:002023-12-30T08:00:00.134+02:00New Challenge at Inkspirational!<p style="text-align: center;"> Hi friends!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-X-bpJ_-gwDGu5U9Ntar7odMxClhIoeBoCb1oeduZ1m-x46d4bBZRaqo5ce5e5WtnH9WXtmieXBh23eTy5YqKehHO9EWqM7BYeqVG8rpJeWrXT0vrDvWqTuqJYohD2mFrJ5VBzOyItiShWn0wmXPcQ-p2OLAZjFAFtVU01wjHnh0m34sVvm1Xpr0FSiAD/s1561/IMG_5319.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1561" data-original-width="1561" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-X-bpJ_-gwDGu5U9Ntar7odMxClhIoeBoCb1oeduZ1m-x46d4bBZRaqo5ce5e5WtnH9WXtmieXBh23eTy5YqKehHO9EWqM7BYeqVG8rpJeWrXT0vrDvWqTuqJYohD2mFrJ5VBzOyItiShWn0wmXPcQ-p2OLAZjFAFtVU01wjHnh0m34sVvm1Xpr0FSiAD/w400-h400/IMG_5319.heic" width="400" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">I'm back with another DT card for<a href="http://inkspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Inkspirational</a>.

I've added extra dimension and detail to the background by dry embossing it with a Spellbinders folder that creates a fabric like texture. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This project came together very fast. The frame die fits the stamped image perfectly and the other die cuts easily found their places as embellishments... A nice and quick card! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I look forward seeing what you'll create for our challenge!

I've colored a Dreamflare Studios digital image with a no line look -I printed the image to be only 20% of the normal outline strength. I used my Copics + colored pencils for the coloring. For an extra wintry look I decided to use a fSSS alling snow stencil with white paste but although this stencil is a long time fave I do regret using it this time... The image is quite delicate and the stencilig overpowers it a bit... But after using quite some time practicing coloring this image I didn't want to remake the card again lol!!

I used a slightly sparkly embossing powder for the poinsettia pattern in the ornaments.The background is inked to create an ombre feel.

I used my Altenew row boat die along with leaves from Memory box. I haven't used colored card stock but have inked all the parts (also the sentiment strip) with various Altenew or Distress inks to create my fall color palette. I love the softer look that inked die cuts have in comparison with when you die colored card... But of course you don't always have time for inking and then the colored card is very good too! :) Sentiment stamp is by Altenew as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The background is made with smooshing some Distress ink and then stamping on top with the same ink using a Marianne Design splatter stamp. I did splatter some gold and white ink too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope to see you joining us!
