Sketch challenge for I.C.C #50 using New Wonders stamp set.

Hello!
 And welcome to this fortnights challenge for Inspire. Create. Challenges and this time we have a wonderful sketch to inspire you!

I chose to flip the sketch, well a large part of it anyway by making a landscape card instead of a portrait one. That's the great thing about sketches, just flip them to suit your needs. As long as the basic elements are there (for a challenge) then you're all good and if you are just creating for you, well as long as it helps you create then great!
OK, back to this card, I used the new "Host only" stamp set New Wonders to make this...

I stampd with tiny stars from Little Twinkle using Versamark on the new Soft Seafoam card for the background.

Topped with a Blends coloured fairy from the New Wonders stamps.

Pop in a sentiment and a few adhesive sequins that's it! A simple and fun card!

So, if you'd like to see what the rest of the DT have made head over to the ICC blog and that's where you can add your creations too ;-)
Thanks so much for looking today :-)

Flowering Desert for an Inspire. Create Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to today's second post. Yes, I actually wrote another quick, but (hopefully) informative post earlier today about the retirement list so if you'd like to read it head HERE.
Anyway, back to today's post and we have another challenge at Inspire. Create and this fortnight it's a wonderful sketch, my favourite kind of challenge! Let's see this sketch first, shall we...

I have chosen to use the Flowering Desert stamp set and a technique I first shared with you about two years ago in a video HERE.
For a completely different look with this image I used a Lovely Lipstick and Blackberry Bliss colourway...

I shared  the video with a basic technique but I did alter it a little by stamping these images onto watercolour paper and also adding in a little extra ink to enhance this image even more as I watercoloured.

 I used the Subtles embossing folder for the card layer behind the image which gives a textured card effect.
The watercoloured paper layer is also longer than the rectangle die in the set and I have a super quick video which I'll share with you tomorrow along with a second card ;-)

 Layered onto a Blackberry Bliss base and add in a touch of black twine and that's it!

Since I made this card the RETIREMENT LIST has been released and this stamp set is one of the ones on it :-( There is much more information on THIS POST that I published earlier today! Please do head over to my shop and take a look before your favourites sell out... 

Finally please do check out the amazing inspiration from the rest of the DT for this sketch challenge HERE!
Thansk so much for looking today and we do hope you'll join in with this challenge!
happy stamping :-)

A New Sketch Challenge with Inspire. Create Challenges using the Needle and Thread Bundle

Hello and welcome to another post with Inspire. Create challenges!
This fortnight it's a sketch challenge (my favourite) and it's a great design that was super fun to use!

And this is the card I made, using the Needle and Thread bundle...

 I used the beautiful stitched die from the bundle on white card then added Highland Heather and Old Olive inks with a dauber to highlight the image.

 I finished with a sentiment on vellum and some more of the stitched elements from the die set, wrapped with some of that fabulous, new Old Olive Twine!

So, that's all from me for today, I hope you have enjoyed my card? But, don't forget the rest of the DT who have some fab-u-lous makes with this sketch so please do head over to the ICC blog  to be super inspired!
Thanks for stopping by today, I'll be back soon with a new card :-)

Inspire. Create Sketch Challenge - DSP Christmas Tree

Hello there,
I have a fun card today that is just perfect for using up those smaller scraps of paper we all end up with in our DSP packs and just can't bring ourselves to throw away. I'm a total paper hoarder, are you?
I am using this weeks fabulous sketch challenge (#29) with Inspire. Create for the layout of this card...

Another great sketch, I'm sure you'll agree? And the DT have made some amazing cards using it, head over to the Challenge Blog to see and also to upload your cards ;-) And here's is the card I came up with for this challenge...

 For the background I flicked some slightly watered down shimmer paint (both the white and champagne colours) all over the white card layer for a shimmery, snow effect as well as running some champagne paint round the edges. It's so sparkly and pretty IRL!

 I used some strips of the "All Is Bright" DSP to make this tree, trimming and fiddling until it came together. I also edged each strip using a sponge dauber dipped in gold shimmer paint before sticking them down. I then topped them with thinner strips of gold glimmer paper for even more added sparkle.

The sentiment is from the Tags and Tidings set and I created a chalk-board effect by embossing it on black card with white powder. All finished with a few enamel shapes :-)

So, that's todays make using the ICC sketch. Will you give it a go this week? We'd love to see!
Head over to the challenge blog HERE for loads more inspo from the rest of the DT.
Thanks for stopping by today, I have so much to share with you but I'm working so many nights at the moment I'm really struggling to keep up if I'm honest!
Hopefully I'll be able to get and share some more crafty makes over the next few days :-)
'Till then, happy crafting!
