New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for our new challenge at Time Out, 'Colorful'.

This challenge is sponsored by Lawn Fawn and our winner receives an amazing $25 voucher to their store! Our winner also gets called to guest design in a future challenge. This time our guest is the very talented Fran. To see her card, all the DT inspiration along with challenge details, click HERE!

I made a colorful background with ink blending. I begun with one of those faux watercolor patterned papers (in yellow hues) and blended on that -I got my results way faster than if I would have used white card stock. I also did a little tone on tone stenciling but it's hardly noticeable and even less so in the photo! 

The butterflies are by Lawn Fawn, sentiment by Altenew. I die cut a bunch of butterflies and randomly adhered them to my background. Very simple but love how this turned out! 

I hope to see you playing along. xxx

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

 Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Inkspirational where my team mate Marlena has chosen "Iridescent" as her cue word for us! You can interpret this in many ways -think acetate, holographic card, vellum... There's plenty to choose from!

I've made a little shaker card where I've used acetate for the window along with iridescent sequins. The cover plate comes from Textures by Lou Collins (available in Craft Stash) and the frame die is by Waffle Flower. Sentiment by Altenew. For a shaker this was pretty quick to make -using the frame die helped in keeping things nice and neat!

I hope to see you playing along. xxx

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi guys!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out Challenges where we have a fun monochromatic challenge for you!

In my card I've used a digital stamp Mini Floral Slimline Wishes by our sponsor Varada Sharma. I've colored the image with various shades of green Copics and used Altenew inks for shading the background. We have two prizes for crabs this week so I highly recommend you play along! All challenge details along with lots of DT inspiration HERE. 

I hope to see you playing along!

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

 Hi there!

I'm here with my DT card for Inkspirational Challenges, where we want you to use stencils during the next fortnight! There's an optional twist to use layereing stencils too. All details and lots of more inspiration in our blog HERE.

The background stencil I've used comes from Pinkfresh. I thought it had a feel of a christmassy table cloth so I combined it with a holly stamp by Hero Arts. The sentiment comes from the same HA set. The image is colored with Copics and I also added white gel pen and Stickled for the berries. White paint splatter finishes off the card -I seem to be addicted to it. :)

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you joining us!

Card for Time Out Challenges!

Hi friends!

I'm sorry to be a couple of days late with my DT card for Time Out... I was away from home and couldn't upload my card before leaving. Anyway -now I'm back and here's what I made! :) 

For the next fortnight we are inspired by this photo:

I was inspired by several things in the photo:

-color scheme

-font style in in the sentiments

-a golden bird

-"holes" in the storage wall

Can you spot all the that in my card? :)

I've used dies from Lawn Fawn and Simon Says (for the sentiment) 

Do head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration. 

 

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hello friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out Challenges where we have a fun fairytale quote for your inspiration! You can be inspired by the whole quote or choose just one word/ some words for your starting point. 

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." ~ Albert Einstein.

I used stamps by our wonderful sponsor AALL & Create for my card. I did some simple masking to create my scene and after stamping and sponging some blue ink to the background I colored the images with Copics and pencils. I finished the card with some gold paint splatters. Hope you like and I hope to see you joining us!

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is a fun one: Christmas in July! If you haven't begun with your X mas cards for 2023 yet... Now is the time! Summer can also be a busy time so creating something CAS as I've done here could be a good option. I've used a Hero Arts stamp set foe the leaf image and sentiment, both heat embossed with gold powder. I've then added quick coloring to the leaves with colored pencils. This card took under 30 mins to make and I quite like the simple, easy to mail design! I hope to see you joining us!
