Touched by Nature

Hi everyone,

 

How has your week been going?

 

Mine has been quite good but the weeks seem to go so fast lately and we are nearly in September – Christmas will be here before we know it!

 

My card below is a combination of a couple of challenges:

 

 

Inkspiration Sketch Challenge # 83

 

and

 

 

Colour Create Challenge # 77

 

which is inspirational colours of Blue, Green, White, Red & Brown from the picture below as well the optional extra – Texture.

 

I have used Soft Suede, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and Baja Breeze.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have added a touch of texture with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder on the Pear Pizzazz.

 

 

 

 

 

The sketch challenge was great as I love layers.  - Well what do you think?

Butterfly Challenge

Hi everyone,

 

I have completed the card below based on the Color Dare # 99 (CD99) Colour Challenge and the layout of the card was inspired from this week’s Inkspiration Sketch Challenge # 61. 

 

The Inkspiration Sketch is below and the colours that are part of this week’s Color Dare challenge are: Basic Gray, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist.

 

 

 

I have used Basic Grey for the base of my card and where the circle part of the sketch is I have added some of the Butterfly images from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Inspired by Nature

Card: Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Grey

Accessories:  3/8” (1 cm) Marina Mist Taffeta Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die,  Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

I haven’t used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die very much and you may not be able to see from the photo but the butterflies are embossed with very different patterns.

 

I love Cherry Cobbler so if I have any excuse to use this colour -  I will!

 

I am happy with the end result, let me know what you think by leaving a comment and thanks once more for visiting…….. Meg x

Artistic Etchings Challenge

Hi everyone,

 

Thank goodness it is Wednesday but how fast did February go! 

 

Before we know it we will be talking about Easter and School Holidays.

 

 

 

 

 

For this post I have created a card using the latest sketch challenge from Inkspirations, challenge  # 59.

I have used the Eiffel Tower Image from the Artistic Etchings stamp set as the main image.  Unfortunately I struggle to find inspiration for this set but not this time :)

 

I have also used the Newsprint DSP and the colour combo is Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Rose Red.

Stamp set: Artistic Etchings, Teeny Tiny Sentiments

Card: Basic Black, Rose Red, Very Vanilla

This was a great sketch to use the Artistic Etchings stamp set and Newsprint DSP together and I am quite happy with the end result.

 

Hope the rest of your week is good, please stop by again soon….. Meg x
