Inspiring Inkin Team Meeting 10.7.2010


It was our quarterly team meeting on Saturday but unfortunately I was unable to make it as Hannah had a cheer leading competition over the weekend. Above is the swap I made and sent in my absence. I really am trying to use some different colour combo's and come out of my comfort zone!! I hope my fellow demonstrators like the result.
I have used soft suede, more mustard and pumpkin pie. The stamp set is circle circus which I borrowed from my sister and the inked images have been punched out using the scallop circle, 1" and 1 1/4" punch. I have also used the corner rounder. The greeting comes from sincere salutations. As accessories I have used circle fire brads, Chrystal effects and 3/8" chocolate chip taffeta ribbon..

Card 6


And here is our last card of the evening. August is that time where we will hopefully be saying congratulation to our children on their exam results...so we made that card in anticipation.
We have used whisper white, black and real red cardstock. The image comes from Fun and Fast Notes again and has been stamped in real red ink and then coloured in using ink from the lid of the pad.
I hope you have enjoyed looking at our class cards. If you would like to join us in the next class which is on the 6th September please get in touch.
There will be NO CLASS DURING AUGUST.

Card 5


A card saying "Thinking of you" always comes in useful. The cardbase is whisper white followed by old olive. I have paper pierced all around this piece of cardstock. The image is stamped from the Bird on a Branch stamp set and has been coloured in using blender pens and ink from the lid of chocolate chip and old olive inkpads.

Simple but sincere.

Card 4


I thought we would add a child's birthday card to our stack this month. Its lovely and colourful. The stamp set used is Birthday Best. The images have been stamped in white craft ink onto tempting turquoise, real red, yoyo yellow and green galore cardstock. I have added a black piece of cardstock punched out from the window punch, some red gingham and a brad from the vintage range.

Alice's Prom Night







It was a very big night for Alice yesterday as it was PROM. All the preparation from weeks of looking for a dress, accessories, having hair and nails done came to an end.
She looked gorgeous. Its hard to believe that she is only 16 and that a few weeks ago you would have seen her walking around in her school uniform looking nothing like a princess.
The only thing missing for her was her dad but I am sure he was looking down at her from another world feeling very proud....

Card 3


This card uses the Baroque Motifs stamp set. The large block image is stamped in melon mambo onto very vanilla cardstock. The smaller flowers are stamped in rich razzleberry and then hand cut and adhered with Tombow.
The greeting comes from Sincere Salutations and is inked in rich razzleberry and punched out using the oval punch and then layered onto a scallop oval of rich razzleberry cardstock.
