It's Saturday so Let's Get Inky!!!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge #110 ~~ I is for Inky. We want you to use inks not just for stamping an image we want to see more than that. I decided (due to a time crunch) to use Distress inks both oxide and regular and a stencil which is something a little new for me.

I used Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint and Worn Lipstick Oxide inks and Picked Raspberry Distress ink from Ranger with a Hero Arts Stencil Large lotus pattern, The pearls are ancient from my stash bought at the dollar store.

Since I was going for fast and simple I used this very large Happy Birthday die cut.

Close up of the shading although there is some ghosting as the stencil wasn't secured as well as I thought, lesson learned.

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the main blog and check out the rules and how inky the rest of the team have gotten.

The Second Week of challenge #86 at the Cheerful Stamp Pad.

The design team at the Cheerful Stamp Pad has more inspiration for you, check all the great projects made with Lunagirl Images. that's who our sponsor is for challenge #86, a Bouquet of Flowers.

After I printed the precoloured image off I used the Romantic Rectangles die to cut it out then layered it on the blue. I then popped it up on very vanilla cardstock that was embossed with the Textile embossing folder. and then on the blue base.

I have left the inside blank as I like to have some generic cards that can be used for birthday, get well or thinking of you, just add a sentiment and it’s good to go.
I would like to enter this in Hiding in my Craftroom challenge #149 Embossing
thanks for spending some time here today and I would love to see what you can make for the Bouquet of Flowers challenge.
