Plant Wall Birthday


The Stamp Market Grid Die, Pink Fresh Studio Lots of Love, Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strip


 Created this for my sister and sent it off!


She's a plant collector and I love it ;).




Happy Birthday to my sister. ;)




Sketchy Light Up Birthday Card


I had fun with this Brutus Monroe Sketchy set:


Brutus Monroe Sketchy Dies/Sketchy Sentiments/Midnight Cardstock


I lit it up with Pear Blossom Press EZ light too (I wanted to impress my brother in law, who's a talented artist)!



Brutus Monroe Sketchy Dies/Sketchy Sentiments/Midnight Cardstock, Pearblossom Press EZ light


The spider web is a doily I stocked up on forever ago.


I keep finding them in sections of my craft room, and then I say "OH yah....I forgot I had these!".


His October birthday warrants a spider web, me thinks.







Thank you for your sweet visit!

God's Masterpiece




Papertrey Ink Geode Layers Die, Stampin Up By the Tide, Verve (no longer in business) Bible verse


Hubby requested a fishing card for his buddy...and I had this secondhand set I picked up at a cool antique shop (never been inked).


I started with leaving the Geode Layer panel in the die and sponging a few colors.


After that it was fish, squiggle line, sentiment...


boom, done!


He liked it and is sending off.







Check out the blues and brown at Time Out Challenges.


The boat and view screams fishing (with coffee like background) to me!


Thanks for stopping by today~

Stampin Up Jar of Love, Papertrey Ink Words of Comfort, The Ton Stamps Glass Slipper Sequins

This time the prompt is CAS with the Optional Twist of Flowers.


I was requested a sympathy card and so I inked up this secondhand set I picked up (I believe it's retired).

Neon Love You Inspiration




Jen Hadfield Live & Let Grow Phrase Ephemera, Karin Brushmarker Pro Neon




I was a teen in the 80's...

OF COURSE I'm jumping in this cardmaking pool!




 

I might have a slight headache admiring these colors, but you only live once, right? ;)


This challenge was right there at the back of my mind when I saw these neon markers at a great price at Michaels...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!


I've always wanted an excuse to get it (but when I had the nerve, it would be sold out online).

I just wanted to play, so I had at it...wow they're so fun guys!!!  Truly!

I topped off the swoosh and specks with a phrase ephemera that felt right.


Thanks for your sweet visit!

CASE Pink and Grey


Pink Fresh Studio The Magic is in You,The Ton Stamps Easy Expressions, Stampin Up Jar of Love 


I wanted to participate in Just Us Girls Case and I bounced off of Vicki's lovely mason jar floral arrangement!

 


I was able to pick up this Pink Fresh Studio stencil/die set at my local craft store and I paired it with a thrift find (mason jar set from Stampin' Up).


I used the pretty combo at Color Hues:

DT INk Mood Board



The Ton Stamps Postage Windows Stencil/Butternut Squash/Grouped Fresh Sunflowers/Autumn Foliage, Sunny Studio Autumn Splendor, Picket Fence Studio Fancy Autumn Sentiment, acrylic paint on die cut square (using washi as a guide)



It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time there's a Mood Board that could inspire you in many ways!

I went with the dusty color block vibe, by stenciling with The Ton Stamps Windows Stencil.

The dipped panel was something in my scrap pile, when I played around with removeable washi and acrylic paint.





Show us what you came up with and link up at our challenge!

As always, thank you for your sweet visit~
