Inspired by Stamping - WHW #III

Happy Tuesday!

Today I am sharing a card using the Inspired by Stamping WHW tutorial: Masking with your background stamps.  I received this email a couple of days ago, and I thought you were able to use ink, but it clearly states background stamps!  Even though I did not follow the instructions, I'm happy to add my card at Inspired by Stamping gallery.

My card:

    
The base of the card is Whisper White, following by Baja Breeze cardstock.  I created a mask using a rectangle die.  I sponged the inside with Baja Breeze ink.  I then added a flower using IBS Daisies Stamp Set.  The sentiment is from IBS Fancy Sentiments.  Both were stamped using Memento Tuxedo black ink.  To finish off my card, I adhered a small bow to the flower and some pearls on the top and bottom corner.

Thanks for stopping by,

 

Dynamic Duos #14-Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi (Orange and Green)

Hello my friends,

I found this new card challenge and decided to give it a try! It's the Dynamic Duos #14 challenge.  When I saw the colors, I immediately thought of Halloween, but after some thought, I decided to do something different.

My card:

I haven't used tags in awhile, so I decided that would be the focal point of my card.  I pulled out my SU Designer Series Paper Patterns (retired), and used Pumpkin Pie & Wild Wasabi paper.  I rounded the corners of the tags with the corner punch.  I criss-crossed the two tags, made a hole, inserted an eyelet using the Crop-A-Dile (which you can't see), and added a pretty orange bow.  The flower is from Inspired By Stamping Store called Daisies.  I stamped the flower on Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored with Copic Markers (YR02, YR04 and YR07), and popped it up with foam mounts.  At the bottom of the card, I added a stripe of SU ribbon, and a piece of thin green paper that I ran through the crimper.  For the final touch, I added two green brads. 

I hope you like it.  Thanks for looking!

IBSIC #12 ~ Sketch

Hello My Friends,

After several months of uploading my cards on Flickr, I took the plunge and created my very own blog!

Here is my 1st post!

This week, I played along with the sketch over at Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge. 

I started with SU very vanilla cardstock and some pretty leftover paper from my stash.  My sentiment is from a stamp set I purchased from Inspired by Stamping store, called Daisies.  Joanna Munster, the owner of the blog and store, sells gorgeous stamp sets, which she creates herself.  Pink ribbon and brown corduroy brad (retired) is from SU!  Pink pearls are from my local craft store, and the crochet flower is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.
