Krafty Chicks Stamp Act
I stamped, coloured and cut out these Penny Black frogs a while back, and they've been looking for a home ever since. The back ground, is a big Catherine Pooler stamp and I added two sentiments.

I don't usually like CASE challenges but when I saw my crafty friend Carol's beautiful card at Just us Girls , I got inspired. Here's Carol's creation:
Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to be inspired by this moodboard:What lovely colours! I decided to make a Mother's Day card for my partner to give to his mum, as Mother's Day in the UK is in about two weeks. So I stamped the flowers, coloured them with markers, used some gold and mint spotty paper as the background and added them to a pink card base.

This is the card I made for my daughter's 40th birthday which was yesterday - Valentine's Day. As she was born on the 14th February, I always like to incorporate a heart or two on her cards.
Here I used a Lori Whitlock digital cutting file, which I cut on a Silhouette digital cutting machine, The original design is a Valentine's card, with two heart-shaped balloons and other little hearts. However, I hope that by changing the colours and papers, and adding the numbers, I've made it suitable for a birthday.
As I mentioned in a previous post, we had a surprise party for her last weekend. It was in a private room in a cocktail bar and there was lots of fun and cocktails.
Here are some of the decorations I made for her cake:
Sorry this post is late - I was away all weekend at my daughter's surprise birthday party (it was a surprise to her, not me, so I suppose a poor excuse for me not planning ahead) but more of my daughter's birthday in a later post.

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is my own 'Designer's Choice' - Paper Piecing. Paper piecing is usually thought of as 'colouring in' stamped images by cutting out patterned paper. I think though there is an older definition of using different papers to 'piece together' an image.
For my DT card, I used some (very old!) patterned paper to 'colour in' a floral stamped image and added black dimensional drops (Nuvo?) to add back the flower centres. I used markers to colour in the rest of the image and added a die-cut sentiment.

It's my son's 17th birthday today. He's recently got into playing darts (in his bedroom , so far!) , no doubt inspired by the 17 -year-old champion, Luke Littler.
It was a bit of a challenge to make a darts themed card. I found a games picture font by Lettering Delights and one image was the dartboard, which I cut out on the Silhouette digital cutter. The swing card was cut with a die and I added the numbers (cut on the Silhouette), patterned paper and punched silver stars.

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to use a stencil- with the optional twist of using more than one stencil.
I must admit, stencils are not really my forte so, for my DT card, I just played about with some random stencils I have in my stash and created a collage background, which I splattered with some inks. My image is an A Day for Daisies stamp, coloured with Promarkers.
I hope you'll go over to the Inkspirational blog and see what the rest of the DT have made, and enter your own stencilled creation.
