New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for Time Out, where we have one of our Inspired by Words challenges for you.The quote for your inspiration is:

'As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, 

canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see'

Vincent Van Gogh

You could be inspired by the whole quote or just use one word or some words as your starting point. Using only words like "hands" or "canvas" can take your card to a very different direction than making an autumn inspired card! 

Our wonderful sponsor is Poppy Stamps. They're generously offering a $20 store credit to our challenge winner, chosen by the DT. Our winner also gets called to guest design in an future challenge and this time we are joined by Deborah Wheeler of Deborah's Crafty Blog. Do not miss any of the challenge details,  Deborah's elegant card or any DT inspiration, click HERE! 

I've made a fall inspired shaker card with a large maple leaf die from Concord and 9th. The background is an alcohol ink + foil background and my shaker elements are pretty sparkly too... So this card has a lot of shine! 

I hope to see you playing a long at Time Out, I look forward seeing what you'll create! Happy crafting! 

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

We have a very fun and unique challenge for you at Inkspirational for the next fortnight: Headwear! Here's what our fabulous Ink boss lady Carol says about the challenge:

"Ideas galore for this challenge: fashionable toppers, seasonal necessities, sports requirements, ceremonial headdresses, costume decoration - and so much more. If it goes on your head, it goes in our gallery."

I look forward seeing what you'll create!

I made my card with Honey Bee Stamps hat die and combined it with a sentiment from Altenew. I'm pretty happy about the CAS design but keep wondering if the amount of hats should have been more or less lol! I just couldn't decide and went with 6 hats in the end... But how about 7 hats and a sentiment in the place of an eight hat?!? Or 5 hats and a sentiment in the place of an sixth hat?!? Hmm!! Let me know what you think!

 

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

We have a new challenge for you at Inkspirational and this time I had the honors of choosing our theme. I chose "Make Your Mark" -we want to see you adding color to your stamped images or die cuts with markers, water color, pencils, inks... Lots of options. For example coloring stencils will do too or inking your die cuts for added dimension. 

I chose the good old "coloring stamped images with markers" and colored in a cute Waffle Flower flower with Copics and colored pencils. I found a dry embossed panel from my stash and used that as a base for the fanel.. And stamped a sentiment by Garden Favorites sentiments by Spellbinders. I thought this sentiment matched the large flower well. I kept my card pretty CAS this time!

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