Inkspirational Challenges Reminder!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick post to remind you of our current mood board challenge at Inkspirational! The challenge is still running for about one week and there's lots of inspiration for you in the DT cards as well as in the player's gallery. Don't miss the beautiful cards or any of the challenge details, click HERE! 

I loved the ombre blue blanks in the photo on right in the top row and wanted to replicate that. I had some grey patterned paper that looked almost identical and I inked it with blue inks to make it match the moodboard. I then used a Marianne Design background stamp for adding texture that we see in the mood board photo planks too. I stamped the texture images with light brown distress ink first and with gold Delicata ink second. Love how that turned out! 

I then cut some leaves from alcohol ink and watercolor panel scraps that I had. The dies are by Memory Box and Honey Bee. I loved the brown in the sand and pop of white in the waves in the moodboard and brought these colors to my card as well by using a washi tape in the left edge and heat embossing the sentiment with white on brown card. 

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

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hi friends!

We have a new fun challenge for you at Time Out; it's a photo inspiration challenge, but you can also use it simply as a coffee themed challenge. You could also be inspired by some elements in the photo AND coffee, which is what I have done with my card!

This card is actually taken by me on my work trip to New York on spring 2023. I was fortunate enough to meet my good friend and our Time Out general manager Stephanie during my trip! We where together when we bumped into this sign outside a cafe and thought it would be a perfect coffee themed photo inspiration! I hope you'll agree and join us! 

Our winner receives a prize from Newton's Nook and also gets called to guest design in a future challenge. This time our GD is the talented Heidi Kunkel and she has made a wonderfully colorful card for us. Don't miss her inspiration or any of the challenge details, click HERE. 

I used a stamp set by Simon Says Stamp in my card. I've stamped everything with white Hero Arts pigment ink on black card for sort of a chalkboard look. My only embellishment is a die cut, red heart. I quite like how this simple card came together!

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