Tinstar Designs

Well hello there. Today I am a guest designer over at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers as I was crowned Queen for the A is for ATC challenge.

This new challenge is all about F is for F Words.

I have the perfect stamp set for this challenge from The Ink Road “Fck-A-Doodle-Do” which I paired with the rooster from KatzelKraft “La ferme des animaux” which I coloured with my Stampin Blends and added to a lightly sponged background.

Come join in the fun and link up your card by Saturday 28th May 3pm (Melb time) or Friday 27th May 11:55pm (EST).

Thanks for stopping by; enjoy the rest of your day.

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

For my card I was inspired by the sketch (flipped vertically) and the red couch in the photo. I used a new Stampin Up stamp set called ‘Bottled Happieness’. I inked it up with SU inks in Sweet Sorbet, Parakett Party, Orchid Oasis and Pumpkin Pie. I then added a die cut film strip over the top with a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with both! Check out the projects that the other artists at Fusion have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Wednesday, 26th May at 5pm Melbourne Time or Tuesday 25th May 12pm US Pacific Time to link up your project.

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great colour challenge for you!

These colours are so pretty together and I knew that they would look fabulous on the Stampin Up ‘Bottled Happiness’ stamp set. I inked up the slim bottle with the Rich Razzleberry and then punched it out with the matching punch. The onto the flowers – which is a 2 step stamp – 1st the leaves in Mint Macaron and then the flowers in Blushing Bride. I fussy cut out the flowers and popped them and the bottle up with dimensions.

I added the bottled flowers onto a textured background panel and then onto a Mint Macaron card base with finishing touches of pearls in the centre of the flowers and some twine around the bottle neck.

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I was inspired by the butterflies and colours in the photo this challenge. I stamped the large butterfly from the Ton, heat embossed in gold and then water coloured with my Altenew water colour pans. I wanted the butterfly to be the hero , so I left the sentiment off, fussy cut it out and added it to a acetate card base.

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great challenge for you. This week we have a sketch!

I love a sketch challenge as you can interpret it how you like and use what ever colours and images you want.

I decided to do a see through card with a rainbow sponged background using Stampin Up inks is Magenta Madness, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Tempting Turquoise. I then used 3 different sized circle dies for my centre panel and ring. For my sentiment I used a hello word die.

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I decided to fuse the sketch and photo for my card. I found a sweet digital stamp from Star JamLines that had a bunny holding some tulips (not sure if you can see in the photo but there is a bunny pushing a wheelbarrow with tulips in it). I printed and coloured the image with my Stampin Blends. I die cut with an oval die and added to a card base with a bit of black and white striped DSP.

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great challenge for you!

One of my favourite animals is a dog. I’d love to have one; but as I’ve already got a cat, two bunnies and some fish, I don’t think I have time or space to add a dog at this stage. I used the super cute ‘Pampered Pets’ from Stamping up for my card. I coloured the dog with my Stampin Blends, used the dies to make his kennel and bowl and then I sponged a sky and some grass on the card base.
