Inkspirational Challenges Reminder!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a fun summery card for Inkspirational where our current challenge is "Seasonal"!

 Christmas/Holiday would have ben the obvious season to choose... But I wanted to play with a Marianne Design kit that I had recently purchased so my season is summer! :) These are older stamps and dies but new to me. I absolutely love the flip flops! The paper I used is a freebie from Dreamflare Studios (free with purchase). I've added extra dimension and detail to the background by dry embossing it with a Spellbinders folder that creates a fabric like texture.  

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! 

I look forward seeing what you'll create for our challenge! Lots of DT inspiration -and an inspiring gallery- in the challenge blog! xx

 

New Challenge + DT Call at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for our new challenge at Time Out. This challenge doubles as a DT Call so make sure to check out all the details in our challenge blog HERE! Lots of wonderful inspiration from our talented guest designer Jennifer and our design team there too. 

The challenge for the next fortnight is nice an easy Winter/Holiday!

I made a card focusing on stunning Pinpoint dies from our sponsor Birch Press Design. These dies have such a unique look! I instantly knew I wanted to make a shaker card. I love shaker cards, but I usually tend to have some shaker bits flying out even after all the taping and reassuring... and I get frustrated... But I think this time this is pretty sturdy lol! I do not know if I have courage to send it in mail though. :) 

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

 

New Challenge at Time Out!

 Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out! The next fortnight we are inspired by a fabulous purse created by our former DT member Kim who also runs an Etsy shop Running Stitch Design . The winner of this challenge will receive this purse as a prize! Wonderful, right?!? I do hope to see you playing along! 

I was inspired by the two toned poppies and the "patterned paper feel" of the fabric. My background paper is more blue than Kim's fabric, I'm totally in love with hers... But I didn't have a perfect match so this had to do! The poppy stamp is by Waffle Flower. Sentiments by Pinkfresh Studio. I've colored the flower with both pink and red petals but it's not very obvious in the photo -taking photos in natural light in Finland in November (and December, January, February and March lol!!) is not the easiest. :) 

Thank you for popping by and I hope to see you playing along! Lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge details in our challenge blog HERE. 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share my DT card for the new challenge at Inkspirational! For the next fortnight we are inspired by this mood board:

My inspiration points were cookies, whipped cream and Christmas drinks (I'm thinking the bottom right image is from a Christmas hot cocoa nook!) ... along with white writing on black. 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!! The sentiment comes from a Tree Room Studios set.

Do head on over to Inkspirational for all the challenge details and lots of more DT inspiration!
