Inspired By...Cookies

 Hello everyone.  We have a New Inspired By... #IB395 Challenge on the blog today.  The theme this week is Cookies and A New Card Sketch and Inspiration Colors.  Have fun you have less than a week.

Let's Get Started:

I was inspired by the colors, Sea Theme, and Card Sketch. I first started ink blending my white cardstock with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink, Catherine Pooler All That Jazz ink, and Concord & 9th Sea Glass ink for the blue inks on my card. I ink blended Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink for my brown ink blending on my pattern paper and on my squares. I cut my squares and rectangles using my scraps looking at the card sketch so fun.

Next, I stamped and heat embossed my Sea horse, Jellyfish, and air bubbles using Lawn Fawn and Forever in Time stamp sets with Versamark and White embossing powder. I embossed the Whimsy Stamps Ocean Stencil for the fish. I then cut out a starfish and shell from Emily Moore Designs Charm Set Sizzling Summer with white cardstock.  Pattern Paper and word sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I had so much making this card.

Now it's Your Turn!

I used the New Paw Heart Stencil. You get a negative stencil piece to ink blend the heart and it won't interfere with the inking for the paw. I chose green as if you know me I love Green.  I used white cardstock with Catherine Pooler Sea Foam ink with Tea Dye Distress ink, Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink, and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink.

I then cut my paper to 4 x 5 1/4.  I love how it turned it.  I used a older Stampendous stamp set for the sentiment and paw print that was stamped with black ink. I added some Rainbow Pear Card Bling and glued my background panel to a brown A2 card base.  I hope you shop the New Release here.

Inspired By...Birdies

 Hello everyone.  We have a New Challenge over at the Inspired by...Blog.  This week it's Birdies #IB394 and a New Card Sketch. You have almost a week to get your card submitted. 

Let's Get Started:

I was so inspired by the colors, birdies, and card sketch. I almost painted some rocks and drew faces like the inspiration photo but I went simpler.  I seen this birdie stamp set in my stash from CC Designs called Cute Birds Stamp and Dies. I stamped 1 image with Memento Tuxedo ink on white cardstock as 2 were stamped and die-cut already. I colored with my alcohol markers similar to the inspiration photo. Next, I cut out the bird with the coordinating die.

I had a MFT Die set called Hanging Branch, which was perfect. I cut out the branches with brown cardstock and the leaves with heavyweight green glitter cardstock. I cut out a white panel 4 x 5 1/4 and glued everything with liquid glue. I carefully stamped my sentiment with Tuxedo black ink and my stamping platform using the CC Designs stamp set. I then layered my white panel on a blue 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cardstock and glued to a brown A2 card base. Lastly, I used a white gel pen for the birds eyes and added some glossy accents to the birds glasses and to all the birds eyes. I love how this card came out.

I hope you join us!

Inspired By...Donuts

 Hello everyone. I have a card today for the New Inspired by...Challenge #IB393.  This weeks theme is Donuts. So fun right? I love the inspiration photo and Card Sketch.  

Let's Get Started:

I was inspired by the theme Donuts, Colors, and Card sketch. I first used a 6x9 stencil called Wild Rings Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and ink blended it on a A2 panel white cardstock. I used inks Catherine Pooler Sugared Lavender, Hero Arts Peony, and Hero Arts Creamsicle. This stencil design reminds me of donuts.  Next, I stamped 3 donut images from Doodlebug Design Treat Yourself stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored with my copic markers using colors that would match the Inspiration photo. I used the coordinating die to cut the donuts out and then cut 3 squares of purple cardstock 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 in size.  

I glued all to a A2 top folding card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink on white cardstock and fussy cut it out. I adhered it with foam tape and then added some flower enamel embellishments and that finishes me card.  

Now it's your turn! 

Every Thursday starts a New Challenge. How are you inspired? You can enter using the Theme, Card Sketch, or Both. Share in our FB group too.

 Hello everyone.  Today starts a New challenge for the Inspired By Blog #IB392. The theme this week is Daisies. And a New card sketch with inspiration colors. So fun!!! This challenge runs for almost a week. Every Thursday starts a New Challenge.

Let's Get Started:

Can you tell how I was Inspired?  I love the theme, colors, and card sketch.  I really love this weeks challenge. I feel like this is a great card to mass produce.

I took a piece of of white cardstock and used Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and rubbed my ink pad down my white panel. I love the streaks. I then used Fired Brick Distress Oxide ink, Peacock Feather Distress Oxide ink, and Catherine Pooler Sauna ink and did the same ink. I then grabbed my blending brushes and inked over those areas.

Next, I grabbed my Layer It Daisy Die from Taylored Expressions.  I cut all 3 dies out with white cardstock. I inked the center with CP Sauna ink. I used a flower die from my stash and used the stem that was cut out with white cardstock, and inked it with Spruce ink from Catherine Pooler.

My background was cut to 4 x 5 1/4. I glued everything to a Gray A2 top folding cardbase 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I stamped a sentiment from Concord & 9th with black ink onto my card.  I used a black pen sharpie and  inked my sentiment where ist didn't stamp properly and that finishes this card.
