Inkspirational #194 - Photo

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational! We have a photo to help inspire you.


I really tried to capture the funky colours within the letter 'r'. I stamped randomly (using dots, chevrons, etc) with neon ink onto paper then die cut my sentiment using alphabet dies. I used foam tape to pop them up.

My photo is a little wonky, sorry.


After the letters were cut, I used a black pen to go around the edges to help give them definition.

I hope you will play along over at Inkspirational!

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -
Moo-Mania (Letters and/or Numbers), Simon Says Wednesday (CAS), Sisterhood of Crafters (use dies as the focus), Tinker Dream (Sentiment)

Thanks for popping in today :)

Less Is More #402 - One Layer Card using Stencils

Happy Saturday! Over at Less is More we have a brand new challenge for you and this fortnight we want you to create a one layer card using stencils.

Here are my cards

Card #1
First, I masked off an area to try and keep my design to just one third of the card. I used a star stencil and blended the colour using distress ink then stamped the sentiment.

Card #2
I created a stencil using alphabet dies. Once I placed my stencil on my card, I used distress inks for the colours and a simple sentiment to finish it off.

Inkspirational #193 - Travel

Hey there everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational where our theme is TRAVEL.
I used my London skyline (HLS - Wish you were Here) and paired with a sentiment from Whimsy stamps. I have been lucky enough to travel to the UK three times over the last few years. I really love London, especially the theatre. Sandie and Val look after me so well when I visit and I hope to visit more!


This card seriously only took a few minutes to put together - easy!

G'day everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Happy Little Stampers!


This is a really easy way to keep your cards Clean and Simple!

I have made two cards for this challenge with a fruit theme :)

Card #1

Card #2

This is a new set from Close to my heart I bought off a destashing site. Even though I use my MISTI when I stamp, the orange was a little disappointing. It took me forever to try and get a decent image.

I hope to see you over at Happy Little Stampers!
