So glad to be back in my craft room today – I’ve been sick in bed for the past 4 days binge watching ‘Jane the Virgin’ on Netflix. So it’s nice to be upright and making something.
First up is a card for the current MUSE challenge where the lovely Anita provided some stenciling inspiration.
Here’s Anita’s card: I was inspired by the female stencil she used and the non-traditional colours of her hair.
I used a stencil I’ve had for over a year but not inked up yet by Scrap FX called ‘Vogue Girl’ which I sponged in Distress Inks in Black Soot, Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet. I then stamped a sentiment from the Ton called ‘Born Classy’ and my OLC was done!
Next up is a card fitting 3 challenges:
- Just Add Ink #425 – photo inspiration
- The Flower Challenge #24 – Anything Goes
- Fusion – Daisies
I loved the layout of the Fusion challenge and the soft looking flowers and leaves of the Just Add Ink challenge so got inky with a stamp set from Catherine Pooler Designs called ‘Best in You’ and used a variety of CPD inks and the sentiment s from PTI ‘ Stylish sentiments: Birthday’ and the DSP is from MFT 6×6 pad Black & White Stripes.
Lastly is my card for the challenges at AAA Cards & the Alphabet Challenge Blog.
I love the simplicity of the AAA Cards sketch and the Alphabet challenge is all about leaves for the letter ‘L’.
I used my alcohol inks in aqua and purple twilight on a panel behind my circle negative. I added a little bit of Nuvo silver gilding flakes and die cut a couple of leaves; added a sentiment from a discontinued Fresh Squeezed Stamps set called ‘Words to live by’ and popped my card panel onto a white card base.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick Tristan, I hope you’re feeling much better now. I love all three! Great take on Anita’s card, I must get into my craft room!!
