DT INk CAS Stickers/Ephemera


Doodlebug Design Over the Rainbow Sticker (Doodle Pops-Hello Sunshine), Honey Bee Stamps Inside: Thankful Sentiments, Catherine Pooler Designs Stroke of Midnight Patterned Paper




Time for a new challenge at INkspirational!


Our theme is CAS with the option of stickers or ephemera, so I cracked open this beautiful 3D sticker from Doodle Bug (Doodle Pop). 


That hurt a little, because I loved staring at it in my acrylic container when I crafted. 


But I owed a beautiful thank you and it was the right thing to do.



Optional Twist: Use Stickers/Ephemera


You can go CAS or, if you feel so inclined, rip off the bandaid and sacrifice a sticker/ephemera for the greater good and join us!

Woodblock Wednesday Abstract Circles

 


Stampin' Up Simply Circles, Erin Lee Creative Make Waves Word die, The Stamp Market Grid die, Thanks die, Birch Press Stargazer Layer C die, Triangle dies, Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Circle die, Colored Vellum

Had a chance to play around with a wooden stamp set from a consignment shop.


I practiced with inks I've wanted to use, only to find that my inks needed juiced up!


This lovely panel gave me possibilities though:



The first move was to diagonally split it and then I die cut one with a Birch Press die (backed with Pretty Pink Posh's Eyelet Circle die).


 The other section was slivered with skinny triangles (I believe Erin Lee Creative dies).


The inked teal was echoed with colored vellum (I got a huge stack on Amazon years ago).


Thanks to Amy for faithfully posting this challenge, it makes me want to craft with woodens!










Have a good one ;)~
