Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge at Just Add Ink for you. This week is inspiration picture week. This challenge has been suggested by Di.

I’m making a start on Christmas cards because before we know it, Christmas will be upon us! I’ve used my Swirly Scribbles Thinlits to create the wreath and used a retired Stampin’ Up! Christmas stamp set called Watercolour Winter for the foliage and pine cone. Here’s my card:

Why don’t you make a start on your Christmas cards like me and join in this challenge? Head over to Just Add Ink and take a look at the wonderful inspiration the DT have created. Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Hey Everyone

The card I made today is for two challenges – Pals Paper Arts & the final challenge at Cardabilities. Here are their inspiration pics:

I really like the colours at Pals Paper Arts for a Christmas card and dragged out a retired Stampin’ Up! set called Watercolour Winter. I love the holly from this set and applied my markers directly to the stamp to ink it up. As always I used Gorgeous Grunge to the background and then added some Sahara Sand candy dots to finish it off. Here’s my card:

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

The card I’m sharing today is made for two challenges – Mojo Monday and Create with Connie & Mary Challenge. Here’s their inspiration pics:

I really love this colour combination and think it works so well for Christmas. I’ve dragged out one of my favourite retired Stampin’ Up! stamp sets – Watercolour Winter. I’ve combined it with a current sentiment from Ornamental Pine.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I ‘ve decided it was time to mark a start on my Christmas cards and what better challenge to enter than Merry Monday Challenge. This week they have an interesting colour combo – I say interesting because, even though I’m a neutrals girls, I probably don’t combine slate/gray and kraft together very often. I found I actually like this combo!

The layout for my card came from this weeks fabulous Cardabilities sketch:

Here’s my card:

Merry Monday Challenge #72

August 26, 2013by stamplicious7 Comments

Hey Everyone

The card I’m sharing with you today is my last card as a Design Team member with Merry Monday Challenges. I’ve had a ball and want to thank Lesley for asking me to be part of an amazing group of creative women. I gave myself the challenge of entering every challenge when Lesley started this challenge at the start of last year. I’m pretty proud of myself as I can say I was able to play along every week. Even when I was away I was able to enter because by that time I was on the Design Team and had the sketches in advance. I now have a huge stockpile of Christmas cards.

Here’s Lesley’s versatile sketch:

I’ve gone a bit vintagey with my card today and have used a retired Stampin’ Up! set called Watercolour Winter and the paper I’ve used is from a retired pack called Brocade Background DSP.

Head over to Lesley’s blog and check out the gorgeous inspiration from the Merry Makers.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Merry Monday Challenge #66

Hey Everyone

Yes, I’m back with a 3rd post today – you’re probably all sick of me by now! So I will keep this one short (probably coz I’m running out of things to say!) – people who know me will laugh at that.

It’s Monday so that means a new sketch challenge at Merry Monday.

Ok, so I’ve strayed from the again Lesley – I’ve already broken my promise from last week to stick to the sketch. I really couldn’t get those points to look straight so I made them into banners instead.

Head over to the challenge to join in the fun or you can click on the names below to see the gorgeous inspiration from the Design Team.

Merry Monday Challenge #57

April 8, 2013April 8, 2013by stamplicious12 Comments

Hey Everyone

Lesley has created yet another fabulous sketch for this weeks Merry Monday Challenge.

I’ve gone with some retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper – Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP for my card. It’s been a while since I’ve used it on a card, so I thought I’d bring it out for this one. I used my blender pen and Real Red ink to colour in my poinsettia from Watercolour Winter. The sentiment I’ve used is from Stampin’ Up!s More Merry Messages.

We’d love for you to join us this week – head over to Lesley’s blog and join in our Christmas Challenge. You can click on each of the Merry Makers names below to check out their gorgeous cards.
