Tiger

 I'm not very good with layering stamps - especially flower ones - but this two-step layering set from Hero is very easy to use and I love the effect. I drew a little path for the tiger to walk on!

Inkspirational Challenges : Stencils and paste

 

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is: 

...with an optional extra challenge of using paste,

Some time ago, I played around with stencils and metallic gilding paste on black card and then looked at it and didn't know what to do with it. So I pulled it out last week to use for this challenge- and I looked at it and didn't know what to do with it! But after nearly giving up I suddenly thought - what about going CAS? 

So, here it is. I found a circle die that sat just within a circular sentiment stamp, cut a part circle and stamped the sentiment round it, Is it odd? I'm not sure but I actually like it.

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is: 

For my DT project I made a card for my niece's new baby boy. I was inspired by the colours and the bunting on the mood board. The background is a big Catherine Pooler stamp and the band members are My Favorite Things. The sentiments are Happy Little Stampers and the bunting is a Mama Elephant stamp.

Inkspirational Challenges - Frame

 

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is: 

For my DT card I used a circular sentiment stamp as a frame. I created a (very basic!) snowy scene inside and then added a Mo's Digital Pencil digi , coloured with markers, coming out of the frame. Finally I added more gel pen snowflakes.

Rugby

 

The last card I posted was for my football- mad nephew and this one's for a different nephew, who's into rugby.

I used an embossing folder as both the background and sentiment and I found rugby images online, which I traced and cut on my Silhouette digital cutter.

 As You Like It  I chose dry embossing here as it's quick, easy and foolproof.

Inkspirational Challenges - Spotlight Technique

 

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is:

For my DT card I made a birthday card for my football-mad nephew. First I printed the image - a digi from Lily of The Valley - onto craft card. Then I printed it again twice - once on plain white and then on spotty paper. I die cut a circle out of the white card,coloured the image in and pieced it onto the original image. Then I paper pieced the spotty paper on the gloves, Finally, I stamped a sentiment. Is this too much info????

I hope you'll pop over to Inskpirational and see what the rest of the team have made, and join in.
