DT INk Visual Prompt

 


The Ton Stamps Easy Expressions, My Favorite Things (no longer in business) Always Bring a Smile , Nuvo Drops



It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!


This time it's an adorable visual prompt, from which I pulled mushrooms and a woodland scene.


It's a stamp set that I have been itching to play with, and I was motivated because I needed a sweet birthday card for a 4 year old.


I picked soft colors to experiment with and added a few Nuvo Drops.




Please join us with your unique take!

May WoodBlock Wednesday



Stampin Up 2003 Wooden Stamps & Just for Fun 1996-227 Grid Wooden stamp, My Favorite Things Square frame dies





I'm excited I get to use these wooden stamps for Amy's Woodblock Wednesday Challenge!


They were all in a bundle (there were many more in that pile too) that were being sold at a thrift store.


I couldn't resist! 


Smaller stamps are Stampin Up and the larger grid was titled Just for Fun (1996-2007).


The grid stamp really helped me line up the smaller ones!


Thank you for your sweet visit~

DT INk Prompt For the Guys

 


The Ton Stamps Golf Course Layering Stamps/Golf Therapy Stamps and dies, Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Sentiment Strip



Our new challenge at INk is FOR THE GUYS!



I splurged with birthday money and invested on these gorgeous stamp sets from The Ton.


The golf course layering stamps are really fun to play with and I was able to get a card done for hubby! I didn't need the dies this time around (in case I messed up on the layering of ground, ocean and sky borders)..but I got them just in case!


I can't wait to make more (now that I've had a little practice).  The results are truly realistic looking.


Please join us with your masculine take this time around~

Miles Away Bday Card




Picket Fence Studios Nice Seeing You, The Ton Stamps Floral World Sentiments, Copics


 I created this for my aunt's final bday in this world.


She turned 74 and died shortly thereafter.


It's been a painful loss, but I'm determined to rejoice in her memory; she is no longer suffering in this world.


It's a balance I believe we have to learn to move in, and with the Lord's grace, I do!



I put a lot of colors (Copic added) in here to try to convey all the beautiful peeps that love her and would miss her terribly.


Though she was in hospice when I sent this, I didn't want to add to sorrow, but keep it upbeat with multiple colors and sentiments, and floating images. 


 I'm a big fan of visual movement.

The Ton Stamps Rose Tags Stencils/Postage Sunflowers and Hydrangeas Layering Stencils/Bright Pansies Clusters stencil/ Timeless Icons Sentiments, Spellbinders Etched Palette die, Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Plaid, Papertrey Ink Geode Layers dies


It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!


Check out this photo...I took it literally and was excited to bring out This Palette die I haven't used in awhile (or ever).


It's HUGE...so I brought out all my floral stencils from The Ton and die cut everything but Hydrangeas (fussy cut) for that organic look.
