New Challenge at Inkspirational!


Hi friends!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Looking for crafty fun? Do join our latest Inkspirational Challenge:


Our guest designer this time is the very creative Henriette. Don't miss her card or any projects by the DT, click HERE!

I had just received this fab stitched winter scene die by STAMPlorations and decided I'd like to smoosh a sky for my card. I found a piece of special paper in my scraps box -I'll call it "fiber paper", it's sort of thick paper that has a natural feel to it, there's fibers under the surface of the paper and the paper has quite a lot of texture. The texture of the paper was really good for smooshing and it handled water very well -I hope I some day find more of this paper, no idea what it is or why I've had it! :) In addition to smoothing the sky I simply cut the die cut scene + heat embossed the sentiment, framed the whole thing and used a card base I had covered with grey paper. 

With my card I'd like to join:

Edited... Also adding this to CAS Mix Up March after checking my card qualifies! Thanks Loll :) And happy birthday CAS Mix Up, this challenge is a very fun and unique one, if you haven't played along before, check it out! 


I used: stamping, smooching, die cutting, heat embossing

  2. I really like the color of the sky and the CAS look. Postage friendly too it seems. I've had little craft time this year, but this challenge I'm going to do my best to give a try...
