InspireInk Blog Hop October 2023 – A Sketch Challenge

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is a sketch challenge.

I needed to make a wedding card to send to a friend in Denmark. I wanted to keep it clean and simple so I followed the sketch almost literally.

 

The ‘celebrate’ stamp is from circle sayings stamp set and the Mr & Mrs stamp is from the online exclusive Heartfelt Hexagon set. The Mr & Mrs stamp could be partially inked to stamp Mr & Mr or Mrs & Mrs if required.

InspireInk Blog Hop September 2023 – Color Challenge! Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is a colour challenge. The colours are Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black.

This colour palette says Halloween to me but I don’t really do Halloween now. So I put my thinking cap on!

 

This is my favourite type of card to make – ink blending and black sillhouette stamping or die cuts. I love trees so making this card made me happy. I used the Forever Forest bundle.

When I was finished I was about to photograph it but i could hear my Dad’s voice saying ‘ there’s bears in them thar hills’ so of course I pulled out my Beary Cute punch and sneeked in a Black Bear for a fun twist. A little touch of wink of stella gave him a nose and an eye sparkling in the moonlight. I didn’t film this but I have many videos on my You Tube channel showing this style of card.

InspireInk Blog Hop August 2023 – Memories.

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspire Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is Memories.

 

Here’s what I came up with. I am still sorting through Mum’s belongings since she passed away last June. There are so many photographs to sort and share out among the family. These were among the pile with me in. I haven’t made a scrapbook page since lockdown so when I saw our theme is memories I decided now was the right time to get another one done.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone’s Memories projects.

InspireInk Blog Hop May 2023 – Sketch Inspiration

Happy Saturday! welcome to another Inspie Ink Blog Hop. This month’s theme is to use a sketch for inspiration.

So i looked at the sketch but did not have it beside me when i was crafting. I remembered 2 rectangles and a circle!

Here’s what I came up with.

The Coffee with Friends stamp set had just arrived on my desk so I took the opportunity to ink it up. I was going to colour it but I decided i liked the line drawing . The background paper is from Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper, the Moody Mauve strip is from 2023 – 2025 In Colour Luster Speciality Paper.

I will put a tutorial on my You Tube Channel later so check back tomorrow for that. Meanwhile lets check out what everyone else has done with this sketch.

I love the beautiful images in the Wild & Sweet Stamp Set, they are so detailed. I just wanted a very simple background for this gorgeous panda.
