Here I used two different Avery Elle sets (the ferris wheel from one, the cat from the other) and an MFT city backgrounds. Isn't it great that so many cities have ferris wheels now? These cats could be in London, Tokyo or New York!

Inkspirational Challenges - Tower
Here's my DT make for Inkspirational:I seem to have several stamps of animals forming a tower by standing on top of each other! This one, is an old favourite from Penny Black. I coloured it with Promarkers and added two strips of patterned paper, one of which was cut with a border punch.

Inkspirational Challenges - Hearts
Hi Everyone. I'm struggling to photograph cards at the moment due to poor light and erratic weather! This is my DT make for Inskpirational .
As you can see, I'm still going through my black and white stripes period! I stamped this stamp ( I think it's Indigo Blue) off the edge, in blue and then ran it through an embossing folder. I added Nuvo drops in pearly blue.

Inkspirational Challenges - Photo
For my DT card I used a Lindsay Mason/ Crafty Impressions stamp and cut her head off! I wanted the focus to be on the heart, and the lower part of the body, which I coloured with Promarkers to match the photo. I stamped 'I miss you' on the bottom - I think I will send it to my daughter, who I've not been able to see for three months.

The Cat's Bell
I decided to join the challenge at As You See It and make a quick card using things from my bits box. I started off gathering everything together - the Pure Innocence image was one I coloured before Christmas but never made into a card, and the patterned paper was scraps. I started looking around for an embellishment I could add and my eyes fell on a little bell.

Inkspirational Challenges - Mask
Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to be inspired by the word 'Mask'.
I think we had this same challenge theme a few years ago but since then, the word has become part of our everyday life!
For my DT card , I printed , coloured (with Promarkers) and cut out a digi by Mo's Digital Pencil. I masked the 'ground', using a cut piece of paper and stamped the MFT city background (I'm getting a LOT of use out of this stamp!). I added some gel pen to the windows for lights. Then I stamped the sentiment (from For the Love of Stamps).

Guest Designer at Addicted to Stamps
I'm very proud today to be a Guest Designer at Addicted to Stamps ! ATS is a fantastic challenge, run by a wonderful woman (Kylie) and they've had a few months off so I want you all to know that it's back and the challenge is 'Make Your Mark' - so stamping, colouring , so many options....
For my card, it's the first inking of this mouse stamp from a Colarado Craft / Anita Jeram stamp set I bought just before Christmas. I love this set, but I may be controversial in telling you I chopped off the 'Anita Jeram' signature which was attached to the mouse's bottom. I'm afraid this is a pet hate of mine(no pun intended!) - if you sell the rights to your drawings with the sole purpose of them being used to make craft items, I don't think you get to keep your signature on it. Anyway, no-one's going to think I drew the mouse - the little circles going up to the thought bubble are the pinnacle of my drawing skills.
So, the 'just a little note' was from the same set and the thought bubble is by Craftwork Cards and the Hello from a lost-the-packet old sentiment set.
