Sharing The Love

I'm Sharing The Love of Distress Inks with a couple of cards for the Winnie & Walter blog.

My first card is for the Ombre Challenge.

I used W&W's The Big, The Bold and The Happy cut file for the journaling card and inked it up in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. I added some paint specks of Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine and a few stars from Memory Box.

My next card is for the Stencil Challenge and it is....well....busy and bright. I thought I would mix some patterns and I'm not happy with the outcome but crafting is all about experimentation right?

I cut a couple of tags from W&W's Daily Grind Collection: Holiday Mint Add-On. I cut the Diagonal Stripe Journaling Card from  W&W's Cut File Basics vol. 1 to make a stencil and create the stripy lines in Squeezed Lemonade and Festive Berries on the tag.

The "hello" is from the same cut file as the first card and I inked it up in Black Soot, added some sparkle with a Wink of Stella pen and a layer of Glossy Accents.



The background is the Mini Tiny Circles Stencil from Crafters Workshop inked in Peacock Feathers.  I also dyed the seam binding with Peacock Feathers.

Thanks for visiting and hope you manage to get a bit inky this weekend!

Ombre With Winnie & Walter

Winnie & Walter are sharing the love of Distress Inks and have a few challenges on the go.

I made a card for the Ombre Challenge using The Big, The Bold and You cut files.

The thanks die-cut was inked up with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, the strip along the bottom was inked with Seedless Preserves, going light to dark, and spritzed with Perfect Pearls and I used a stencil with Seedless Preserves to add some texture behind the sentiment.

I finished off with a few (too many, I think) sequins and Glossy Accents over the sentiment.

Stop by to see the wonderful inspiration on the W&W blog!

Wishing you an inky day!

Runway Inspired

When I saw this photo on the Runway Inspired blog I instantly had a design idea pop into my head.  Actually getting that idea to work on paper was a whole other story.  But I just love this dress so much I decided to upload the card even though it fell a little short of my vision.

Some tree branches from a Hero Arts Silhouette cut file called Skeleton Tree, tulle, ribbon and a vellum sentiment all went into the making of the card.

I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Stamptember Challenge which requires you to use something from the Simon Says store.

My products from the SSS store are  Neenah Solar White Cardstock, the Silhouette Cameo Digital Cutting Machine, Prima Flowers Heart Say It In Crystals, Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder, Quickie Glue Pen and EK Success 1.25" Circle Punch.
