Inkspiration Challenge #39

Happy Friday!!!

Of course it's time for another Inkspiration Challenge, and today we have a FABULOUS sketch for you to play along with.

I'm sure you're all going to be totally over seeing my cards with PAPER FLOWERS... SORRY!!! Yep you guessed it.. this card has one too. But I figured given my complete and utter lack of MOJO this week.. seriously I HOPE it returns soon.. I've got some serious crafting to get done over this week and could really do with a MOJO hit!!!

Anyhoo... here is my card for this week complete with above mentioned Paper Flower.. al la SJ style!!! hahah:-


And here is the sketch:-


My colour combo today is Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake and Certainly Celery!!
I've started with Melon Mambo added some DSP then the scrunched some Certainly Celery ribbon along my Crumb Cake panel. Lets just hope the scrunching stays scrunched until this little card arrives at it's final destination!!!

Inkspiration Challenge #38 {colour}

It's FRIDAY!!! Which also means it's time for another Inkspiration Challenge and today we've got a Colour Combo for you!!!

When you see my card you make have a little case of de ja vu... Don't panic.. I PROMISE I made this one just for this challenge although I'm SERIOUSLY in love with this amazing sketch from my gorgeous friend Karen and have to admit to making SEVERAL cards with this design. I'll try hard to deviate from it soon!!! hahaha

So here is my card for this weeks challenge:-


And here is the colour combo for you to play along with:-


I've started with a base of Baja Breeze, and to that added a strip of Choc Chip and a piece of Baja Breeze DSP from my now retired Ski Slope pack. My flower is made using my scallop circle punch and cutting out 3 scallops then faux sueding them to create six slightly softer scallops (makes for easier scrunching!!!) I added a Rhinestone Brad to the centre and some Old Olive ribbon for the petals. The sentiment is from my Tiny Tags set and I've used 'merry' because I thought this one might actually be able to pass as a Chrissy card.. well ok MAYBE!!!

Happy Friday!!! I hope you're looking forward to a FABULOUS sketch challenge from Keesh today. This one is FUN... SO PLEASE do play along.
Today it is Chantelle's turn to host the challenge and she's added an extra little twist to the fabulous sketch.. that twist... POLKA DOTS!!! Ooohhh... I do LOVE polka dots!!!!

So here is my card:-


And here is the Sketch:-


I've used Brilliant Blue, Wild Wasabi, Kraft, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White, a colour combo I might add I generally don't use.. why?.. well because there isn't any PINK!!! hahaha. But I needed a BLOKEY kinda card.. and well these colours seem to fit that!!! Right?

The stamp set I used is one of my faves... Party Hearty and I added a little ribbon and some Hodgepodge just to finish it off. You all know that if there is a way to include ribbon on ANY card.. I'll DO IT!!! hahaha.

Today Keesh has given us a GORGEOUS colour combo to play along with.

Here is my card:-


And here is the Colour combo so you can play along:-


This is my first time using Rich Razzleberry!! To be honest.. I actually find it a little intimidating!!! It's SO bright!!! hahaha. Because of the SCARY colour.. I've kept my layout pretty simple.. but then again.. I like pretty simple!!!
To the Razzleberry base I've added some Pretty in Pink DSP from my Sweet Pea stash, then cut a Choc Chip Scallop Square, added a little White square then stamped the SWEET little flower from Cheep Talk in Pretty in Pink and Choc Chip and used a Dimensional to adhere it to the square. The sentiment is from my NEW Tiny Tags and I've stamped that in Choc Chip.

Happy Friday!!! It's time for another Inkspiration Challenge.. and after a week off I HOPE you'll all play along.

Today Keesh has given us a sketch to work with. I had fun putting this little card together.

Here's my card:-


And here's the sketch:-

I've started out with with a base of Pink Pirouette and then added some Choc Chip DSP from my Sweet Pea DSP pack. The next layers are Kraft and Pretty in Pink DSP (again from Sweet Pea) then some Pink Pirouette Extra wide Ribbon and a touch of Kraft taffeta ribbon. The image is from one of my absolute FAVES and soon to be retiring..(VERY, VERY sad about that!!) Nursery Necessities (actually this little set is already running low, Soooo if you don't have it and you think that you MUST.. because really YOU MUST!!.. then email me and order it ASAP!!!.. I'd hate for you to miss out :D ) I've stamped the sweet little Elephant in Whisper White Craft ink onto Kraft then sponged around the edges. I also added a little bit of Pink Pirouette ink sponged over the top and then plonked her little ear right into a tub of Dazzling Diamonds. I finished it off with some little PRetty in Pink buttons.

I received the GORGEOUS little Pure Innocence stamp from my equally GORGEOUS friend Karen a few weeks ago and have been wanting to ink her up for as long!!!... Well FINALLY she's seen some ink, and she's SOOOO cute!!! Don't you think???

I've paper pieced her little dress and the lollypop and then coloured the rest of her using my SU! Markers and Blender Pens. Ooh, Ooh I almost forgot.. her little shoes.. sooo cute!!!.. well I added a little crystal effect to make them appear like they are cute little Patent shoes.. CUTE!!!!

The colour combo I've used is Melon Mambo, Vanilla and Kraft and the DSP is my FAVE.. Candy Lane. Just to add a little something extra I've added a splash of Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon.

Here is my card for this weeks challenge:-


And here is the colour combo for you to play along with:-


I've used a fabulous layout for this card.. why fabulous??.. well because this layout was used on one of the cards I recently had PUBLISHED!!!.. woo hoo.. I promise to write a post about that later.. I was a bit torn as to whether to toot my own horn or not... but I figured.. why not.. hahahha
I've started with Choc Chip as my base then added a layer of So Saffron and Regal Rose. The background on the Regal Rose has been made by stamping the swirly tree like stamp from my Trendy Trees set in VersaMark. I added some Choc Chip Grograin and then cut out a large circle in Choc Chip using my Round Tab punch before adding the little Scallop which has another GORGEOUS tree from Trendy Trees. To colour the tree, I used my Markers in Regal Rose and So Saffron. The sentiment is from one of my PTI sets.. Blooming Button Bits and is stamped in Choc Chip.

I've made ANOTHER baby card this week. Some gorgeous friends of ours ( this is another set of friends.. hahaha) had a GORGEOUS little girl on Sunday. Unfortunately because we've all been sick, we haven't had a chance to visit her yet.. and I MUST be completely better.. after all I am the QUEEN of CLUCK at the moment, and to visit and NOT cuddle, well!!!.. that would just be wrong!!.

I've used some Certainly Celery as the base and then layered some Certainly Celery DSP (retired) to that. My pink layers have been created by using my FAVOURITE technique at the moment Faux Suede.. and YES there is a TUTORIAL (SJK Style) on it's way.. I just have to figure out how to get it from camera to blog... any help.. would be appreciated!!! ahahaha
For the middle layer I've also added some Pink Satin ribbon.. DELICOUS and a little lace border using my Apron Lace punch. The little square has some more Faux Suede in Kraft and I've added some Paper Piercing around the edges and a little pink flower from my Felt Fusion Too tin and a little Pink Rhinestone. The sentiment is from Nursery Necessities.

Inkspiration Challenge #29 {a SKETCH}

PINK!!!!!! It gladdens my heart, fills it with JOY and above all else it makes me SMILE!!! I know, that's kinda weird to start my blog post for this weeks Inkspiration Challenge... But I just had to let you know!! haha.. Well ok.. for some of you, that revelation will be absolutely NO surprise ... after all I've NEVER EVER hidden my passion of all things PINK.. ahaha.
You may though be curious also, as to why I started my post like that .... well like I mentioned PINK... makes me SMILE.... it really does... and this card in all it's PINKNESS is for a special someone, who needs a little SMILE.. although she already has one of the MOST amazing SMILES I've ever seen.. I hope this will add a little something special to her day.

This week the amazing Cindy is hosting the challenge, because it's her week to host she's added a little twist to this weeks challenge... the twist... use something you've been hoarding on your craft desk... OK.. so I'm REALLY stretching this one.. only because I was SOOOOO SUPER organised and had my card made a whole week in advance that I forgot about the twist this week.. oops.. but I can honestly say that my Pink Pirouette DSP used on my card has been sitting in my paper stash for almost 12mths.. not because I don't like it.. after all it is PINK right?, but because I can't bear to cut into it... hahaha.. anyone else have the same problem?.. Please say yes!!! hahah

So.. onto the card.. right?.. well here it is:-


And here is Keesh's FABULOUS sketch:-


I've used Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede and Naturals Ivory as my cardstock colour combo. Some Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette and Soft Suede as my Ink choice.. actually I'm LOVING this colour combo.. these colours work SO nicely together :o). And some GORGEOUS Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery Ribbon. Of course the STAR of the show in the fabulous Vintage Vogue stamp set and just to give it a little sparkle I've added some Pink Rhinestones. Oh and I almost forgot.. the circle.. well that was cut with the assistance of my FABULOUS Circle Scissors Plus!!!

Inkspiration Challenge #28 {colour}

** If you've popped over to see the Inkspiration Winners and Honorable Mention for this week pop down to THIS post**

Happy Friday!!! I hope you've all had a fabulous week and are looking forward to the weekend.
Keesh has left us with a colour challenge today.. and I must admit.. I did struggle a wee bit with this one... first off everything I made seemed to resemble a VIOLET CRUMBLE Chocolate Bar and then it seemed to resemble some sort of Marmalade Jar.. hahaha.. I KNOW!!!!.. Anyway I finally settled on this creation, although the colours were still throwing me, so I'm not 100% happy with this one.. but with a couple of sick little flossies.. I've run out of time to get another one made.. so I hope ... REALLY HOPE.. I don't frighten you all off!!!!

Here's my card:-


And here is the colour combo for you to play along with:-


Ok... where to start... righty.. the base... that would be Chocolate Chip and then to that I added a little layer of Whisper White and to that some Pumpkin Pie DSP from my Sweet Pea pack!!!
The little bits to the side next... the little strip is a thin piece of Choc Chip which has been BLINGIFIED and quite comprehensively BLONKED into some glitter, I then pulled out my Big Shot and used my fabulous Sizzlets Lots of Tags and then cut out some more DSP to create the centre. I made the tulip using my Two Step Bird Punch and then used the 'F' stamp from Vintage Vogue to get the 'friends' sentiment and hand wrote the 'fabulous' part.

Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #27

Happy Friday!!!! Where does the week go??? It is indeed time for another fabulous Inkspiration Challenge... and today it's SKETCH time!!!

You are in luck today.. because I'm running a wee bit late so you wont have to wade through all my chatter before I get to my creation ... well ok apart from this little bit of chatter.. hahaha.

Ok so onto the challenge. Here is my card for today:-


And here is Keesh's sketch for you to play along with:-


I have to apologise because I just couldn't seem to get a GOOD photo of this card.. .I'll have to have another go tomorrow!! So Sorry about that. The stamp set is my Papertrey Ink Blooming Button Bits.. and I've stamped the image in Versamark then added some clear embossing powder and given it a blast with my heat tool.. then sponged it with Baja Breeze ink... the photo unfortunately isn't really showing the Emboss Resist.. very well... so you may need to get your nose right up to the screen to really see it... hahaha

I've had another Faux Diva moment and attacked a piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock with my bone folder to creation a Faux Suede panel and also added some Close to Cocoa DSP for the other panel. Rather than use an 'oval' as per the sketch I've used a little creative license and added some GORGEOUS satin ribbon and very cheekily copied the little tag that was on my GORGEOUS Convention gift from Fiona, by tracing it and cutting it out... I know, I know.. I PROMISE I will be purchasing the Tiny Tag Set and matching punch ASAP!!! hahaha
The buttons are Baja Breeze and I've added a little pink bling to mix too.

I hope you like it and can actually see past the not so good photo. :D

Inkspiration Challenge #26

Happy Friday!!! Hope you've had a lovely week and for those of us in Western Australia.. you're looking forward to a LONG weekend... YAY... gotta love a LONG weekend!!!

It's time of course for another Inkspiration Challenge and today we've got a COLOUR challenge for you.

Here's my card for today:-


And here's the colour sample for you to play along with:-


OK... so don't PANIC about all the Neutral colours here... I PROMISE you can get them to work. Have fun with it... and don't forget to link your creation over at Keesh's blog so we can all see what you've come up with.. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the creations with this combo!!!

I've started out with a base of Kraft and added some Whisper White as a panel with some Basic Grey DSP and some more Kraft which I attacked with my Bone Folder to create a Faux Suede look. ( Stay tuned for some more FAUX SUEDE creations... I've kinda gone on a little crazy escapade with it and created about THREE creations... I'll give it a little break after this week I Promise!! hahaha)
But.. back to the faux suede.. I do LOVE how it gives you another form of texture to your card, whilst keeping it kinda soft in the process. I've also used some of my Real Red Polka Dot ribbon, which I've flipped over to the plain side and my Sizzlets Lots of Tags to create my little centre piece. The stamp set is Party Hearty and I've also added a few little Real Red Buttons on either side.

Inkspiration Colour Challenge #24

Happy Friday!!!

Hope you've had a FABULOUS week. The Kale' home has been struck down this past week with a nasty virus and a BIG dose of Laryngitis for me... although I'm sure my hubby and little flossies thought that was a fabulous treat.. hahaha.

Today Keesh has given us a Colour Challenge to play along with and here is my card:-


Here is the colour combo for you to see and play along with:-



Now... when I first saw this combo.. I must admit to having a little panic attack.. OK it was a BIG one... I wasn't sure how this was going to work, BUT... I have to say, I'm kinda liking this colour combo together, it's quite soft and elegant. Gotta love that about CHALLENGES right?... definately makes you move out of your comfort zone and for me well you all know what that is... PINK and Kraft... and there is ABSOLUTELY none of either in this one.

I've started with a base of Whisper White then added some Sage Shadow cardstock and some DSP which has unfortunately retired. I then added another strip of Sage card and some Whisper white stamping the flourish image from my Vintage Vogue set in Basic Grey then added some White ribbon and a little Apricot Appeal flower from Vintage Vogue to the top. VERY VERY SIMPLE!!!

Inkspiration Sketch #22

Happy Friday!!! Hope you've had a fabulous week. Today the Inkspiration Team have a sketch for you to play along with.. and who doesn't love a good sketch???

Keesh is having computer issues still, but never fear, Renee is hosting the challenge this week so be sure to get all the deets at the end of my post, because we definately want to see what you come up with.

Given it's Mother's Day on Sunday I thought I should probably get a couple of Mother's Day cards made.. this is one of them:-


And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-


I've used Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede.. have I mentioned how much I LOVE this colour combo... possibly because there is COPIOUS amounts of Pink... but I do love how the three very different shades blend SOOOO nicely together!!!

I've used my Vintage Vogue stamp set, again.. LOVE this set and the sentiment is from my VERY VERY VERY NEW Papertrey Ink set Blooming Button Bits (a delicious birthday gift to me from my GORGEOUS friend Lee!!!!)

Oh and is it just me or does anyone else put an entire card together and then realise that perhaps it should've had a little paper piercing here, or there? ... anyone???? In this case It had to be the hardest layer to get to!!!!! But I managed... barely and I think it was just what it needed to finish it off.
