Vintage Labels Congrats

Hi!

This week at Just Add Ink the challenge is a sketch:



Did I mention how much I'm loving the variety of challenges these talented ladies are coming up with? Loving it LOTS!



My inspiration for this card came from the very talented Anne-Marie, who is new to stamping but creates some absolutely gorgeous stuff. I loved the card she made where she silver embossed the stamped image with silver EP on black cardstock - just stunning.

Card Stock: Basic Black, Going Grey
Stamps: Vintage Labels (current SAB), Congrats (retired SAB)
Ink: Versamark
Other: Silver Embossing Powder, Heat Gun

Catch you later,

Inkspirations Colour Challenge #18

Hi!

I'll show you my card for Makeesha's challenge soon - but first some big news. My youngest son Hudson, who's 2 1/2 and has multiple disabilities, took his first steps along the lounge (cruising) last night! It was only 2 steps, but for me that's just like Neil Armstrong's first steps onto the moon - a massive event! Just thought I'd share my 'proud mummy' moment.

Anyway, this week the Inkspirations challenge is a colour challenge:



Now, I don't know about you but these colours screamed male card to me.



This was the first time I've inked up Trendy Trees and Good Neighbor, but I'm sure they're going to become favourites.

Card stock/Paper: Very Vanilla, Mellow Moss, Ruby Red, Brocade Blue Patterns Pack II DSP (Level 1 Hostess)
Stamps: Trendy Trees, Vintage Labels (SAB) and Good Neighbor(SAB)
Ink: Stazon, Mellow Moss, Ruby Red
Other: Paper Crimper, Blender Pen

Catch you later,

Mojo Monday #125

Hi!

Not a great few days of creativity lately. I've had a cold and it's difficult to get creative when you're coughing and spluttering. My parents in law are off to a wedding next week and asked me to make a card. I thought I'd use Mojo Monday Sketch #125 as a springboard.



Here's my card:



I wanted a soft, romantic look for the card. I layered vellum over the En Francais Background Stamp to soften part of the design. The Rose is watercoloured and raised on dimensionals. I hope they like the card. I had been told the couple were quite religious, but I don't have anything religious in my stash so I went for romantic instead.

Card stock/paper: Very Vanilla, Vellum, Watercolour Paper
Stamps: En Francais BG, Vintage Labels, Fifth Avenue Floral
Ink: Creamy Caramel, Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose, Rose Red
Other: Curly Label Punch, Circle Cutter, Pink Satin Ribbon from my stash.

Catch you later,

Tina
