New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

We have the first challenge of 2025 for you at Inkspirational and it's a super fun one!! Our team mate Julia has chosen "Pretty Quilt" and there's tons of inspiration for the theme in the challenge blog, as well as a link to tutorials. Don't miss any of the fun, click HERE.

I decided to be very literal with Julia's theme and created something that very much looks like an actual bed spread (or at least that's how I intended it!). I formed the quilt pattern from white card and patterned paper and then die cut it with an Altenew cover plate that gave it a sort of "stitched" feel. The white dry embossed snowflake background is made with a  Honey Bee folder and I found just the perfect sentiment from a stamp set from Three Room Studio. Making the quilt was so fun and I'm in love with the outcome. Thank you Julia for choosing this theme! xxx

I hope to see you joining us at Inkspirational!  

 

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!

New Challenge at Time Out!

Hello friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Time Out where we want you to be inspired by the quote above! You could be inspired by the whole sentiment or just choose one word/some words. 

I chose just coffee as my starting point and used a NBUS Three Room Studio stamp for creating a winter-themed card to send to a friend. The "wallpaper" is made with a Memory Box stencil and I used a woodgrain stamp for the floor after first masking the floor area and sponging it with lighter brown ink. The wallpaper background was supposed to be a lot more muted and soft but in my first version (that I ended up tossing) when using my brush for applying the ink I noticed the brush was dirty and my blue ink gave me an icky vomit green color... Not exactly what I was going for. Since I only have one brush I then had to use a blending tool, hence the strong color! The coloring of the main image is created with Copics.
