Just Us Girls Challenge #763 - MOODBOARD Week - Happy Birthday Celebrate (C and 9th - Hooray)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #763, where Elizabeth has selected this colourful birthday celebration photo as inspiration this week. 

Once again, we're delighted to have Stephanie Severin joining us as our February Guest Designer.

I brought out an old (discontinued) Concord & 9th set for my card, where you can easily see that I drew inspiration from the colours and stripes. Except for masking off the stripes (they're all one stamp) to change colour, this was pretty quick to make. In real life, it's much brighter, so I'm overall pleased with the results. 

Looking forward to your take on this celebratory mood board.

See you in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

Color Hues Challenge #104 - CORAL & YELLOW - Today Is a Good Day to have a Good Day (PFS)

 Hello,

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #104 where our wonderful hostess, Bonnie, has selected hues of coral and yellow as inspiration for the next two weeks. A pretty combination for a wide range of occasions. 

We're delighted to have Teresa as our Guest Designer for this challenge.

My new Pinkfresh Studio Modern Design Blocks glimmer plate and stencils came out for a play, paired with a sentiment from Wildflower Bouquet (purchased at one of my favourite Canadian retailers: Scrap Addicts). I'm smitten with these blocks - especially in this colour combination. 

Please head over to the main blog to see wonderful cards from Teresa and the rest of my talented design team. 

Looking forward to seeing your creativity with Coral and Yellow.

The challenge will be open until February 28th @ 9:00 am EDT.

Thank you for dropping by!

Inkspirational Challenge #335 - Mood Board - Most Amazing People are Born in February (C and 9th, Alex Syberia - Fantasy Florals)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #335. 

After spending the first half (already!) of February playing with red and pink (and plenty of hearts!) in our previous challenge, we're turning to a different palette and images for the second half of the month, as shown in the Mood Board below.  Aqua, teal, blues, purples, woodgrain, florals, letters, spools of thread, bowls, plates, patterns...plenty of selection to spark your creativity.

 

After sitting in my stash for far too long, my Alex Syberia Designs Fantasy Flowers have finally made their debut. Pretty easy to see where I drew inspiration: colours, flowers and 'February" which is from an older Concord and 9th stamp set, All Around the Year.

Please head over to the main blog to see my teammates' wonderful cards, then join us in the gallery with your mood board interpretation.

See you there!

Thank you for dropping by!

My friend card features Pinkfresh Studio products: Framed Art and Fancy Rectangle Frame Die. These make for a wonderful pairing - and the bonus is that I still have three more images of 'framed art' to ink up.

Color Hues Challenge #103 SPECIAL COLLABORATION - Inkspirational Challenge #334 - RED and PINK - Happy Valentine's Day Postage Collage

WELCOME TO OUR SPECIAL EVENT!

 Inkspirational Challenge #334 - COLLABORATION with Color Hues Challenge #103

The Inkspirational gals and I are delighted to participate in this first-time collaboration with Color Hues Challenge #103, where our wonderful hostess, Tracey, invites us to create with RED AND PINK – a combination open to a wide range of hues, as well as occasions/events.

 

This collaboration serves two key goals: to increase exposure of both challenges to players who may/may not know about them and to offer YOU a chance to share your projects in two galleries. If you link with us here, please be sure to hop over to Inkspirational to link  there. We’re hoping for an outstanding number of entries over the course of the two week run of both challenges.

NOTE: You can learn more about Inkspirational Challenges HERE.

We're also delighted to have Trina from Phamtastic Designs joining us as our Guest Designer for this challenge.

Red and Pink sent me straight to my Waffle Flower Postage Collage collection (as many challenges do!). I selected an assortment of stenciled images that played well with this combination. The cut-apart stamps are placed on an embossed textured hearts panel.

Please head over to the Inkspirational and Colours Hues blogs to see fabulous inspiration from the two design teams. Then, join us in the gallery with your Red and Pink creations.

Remember: add your card/project to both galleries.

AAA Birthday Challenge #70 - Ink Smooshing - Happy Birthday and Many More (Spellbinders Every Occasion Floral Alphabet Collection)

Hello,

I'm over-the-moon delighted, honoured and thrilled to share that I'm joining the fabulous AAA Birthday Challenge Team! The AAA Birthday team is filled with talented, creative designers; hopefully, my creativity will meet the high bar they have set. Now, without further ado:

Welcome to AAA Birthday Challenge #70, where our theme for the month is Ink Smooshing.

We're delighted to have Ashwini Rao as our February Guest designer. Her card is a work of art; please visit her blog to see the details.

My debut card features, in turn, the debut of my Spellbinders Floral & and Sentiments Press Plate, that has been awaiting a play date for several months. The technique of ink smooshing was exactly what I needed to bring it out, even though I'm not very skilled when it comes to ink/water techniques. Fortunately, I found a video using a smooshing style that worked for me: not too messy; not too fussy; not too water-forward! Yayyyy! Here are the results:

Please visit head over to the AAA Birthday Challenge blog to see the wonderful cards created by Ashwini and the Design Team.

Then, join us in the gallery with an ink-smooshed birthday card of your own.

See you there!
