Inkspirational #153

Hello and happy Saturday everyone!

We have a great challenge for you over at Inkspirational for the next two weeks. Our word is 'Attachment' and I struggled with this one in the beginning. Sandie and I were talking about it and she gave me some great ideas that actually led to me thinking outside the box. 

Here is my card -

As most of you know, my first grandchild was born in November. Well, I can quite honestly say that my 'Attachment' to him is nothing like I have ever known. So, I created a card for him!

How will you interpret this word? I can't wait to see. Check out the challenge blog for more ideas!

When Card Making meets Acrylic Fluid Art

Hi everyone! I have been a little obsessed with a new form of art I have been trying. You may have seen my  LP records that I have altered into clocks using Acrylic Fluid Pouring. It is seriously fun! I have been practicing on canvases lately too. When I have a little left over paint, I use yupo paper to either smooch it up or pour straight onto the paper. Here is an example of what my panel looks like when finished.

This is a combination of blue, white and silver acrylic paint leftovers poured onto yupo paper. It's fun to combine the two.... This is my first card using this technique!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

I've made two cards using our inspirational photo.

The first card used Vanilla cardstock instead of white. I felt it gave it a nice vintage feel.

Guest Designing for AAA Cards

Hi there! I hope you are well and creating lot's of goodies at the moment.

I am thrilled to be a Guest Designer at AAA Cards for their latest challenge. 

Here is my card -

This was an easy card to create. I embossed my circles then smooshed different brusho colours onto my panel. I also embossed my little words and popped them up with foam.

I really tried to recreate the graphic provided for this challenge. For the quote, I wanted to inspire everyone with some words related to travel. It's always great to see new places - even it is just down the road and you haven't taken the time to see something new :)

Supplies:

HLS Mixed Media Fun

Brusho Watercolours

See you over at AAA Cards!

HLS January CAS Challenge

Hello! Time for a new CAS challenge over at Happy Little Stampers!

A new year and time to celebrate friendships old and new!

I have made two cards - both with a combination of dry and heat embossing. 

I have a new embossing mat for my big shot. I have never embossed with dies before... can dies get any better??? A shout out to Chrissie - she showed me this technique at the HLS Retreat. I knew you could emboss with dies but had never tried it before!

Card # 1

I've embossed the die letters, stamped and embossed my butterfly, then drawn lines with a gold pen.

Card #2

I embossed my heart die and also embossed my sentiments.
