Inkspirations colour challenge # 5

I have had a lot of fun completing this challenge. When I make cards I like to also stamp up an envelope so that I am not suddenly looking for an envelope and realise that I have already used them all. So my first pic is of the envelope closed....


I have used a crimper for the bottom 3/4 of the envelope after I stamped on it in real red & blue bayou. The top third has been inked over gently with Soft Sky, scalloped cut edge and some real red ribbon....

The whisper white card stock was stamped in real red & blue bayou, before the card stock was crimped. I use textured soft sky card stock for the base of the card, and added blue bayou card, real red ribbon, hodge podge & gingham red ribbon.....

This pic shows the co-ordinating set together. I was so happy with how they turned out.....

Lastly a close up of the envelope open....

So until next time,

A little bit crabbie....

I just think this crab is so cute and thought how versatile this set really is. He can be used for birthdays, Christmas or even for a scrapbook page at the beach. I must do a page with a beach theme. So stay tuned and see what else I can come up with.

I layered the party hat and put some dimensional magic on the party hat and crabs eyes....

The finished product..... A little bit crabbie hey, lol....

Just a quick message to say that, I am so proud to be an Australian....all the generosity from everyone has really touched my heart. Even on my own home front, my 10 year old son has still got $60.00 left from his birthday money last month and wants to give $50.00 of it to the bush fire appeals. God love him. All the good that has come out of these traumatic times, still keeps putting a happiness tear in my eye. My thoughts and prayers go out to both the flood and fire victims.

So until next time.....

Always on my mind and forever in my heart.....

Well with valentines Day coming upon us fast, I thought I would create a card for my Hubby early, so that all I have to do is find the perfect gift....I know what he would want but that is another story I don't think I should go into.

I used the Always set from the spring catalogue, I love it so much that I hope it is carried over into the new catalogue which is released in April. My fingers are crossed but will have to wait and see.

The products that I used are, mellow moss, whisper white and perfect plum card stock. The perfect plum card stock was stamped with co-ordinating ink along the bottom. The sediment is embossed in white and I tied some bashful blue taffeta ribbon to the inside of the card.

Bashful blue, mellow moss and perfect plum stampin write markers were used to create the multi coloured heart that I have cut out and attached to the card.



I must post Jacob's page next time I am on. So until then.....
