My Inkspirations

CAS 79

I'm having so much fun participating in the challenge forums over at Splitcoast Stampers.  CAS stands for Clean & Simple and here is my rendition of this weeks challenge "Gardens"

I created this little beauty yesterday, but just got done editing it today.  The images are from PTI.  I stamped and embossed them onto watercolor paper, then watercolored them with my Tombow markers and aquapainter.  The background was created using a panel of Aqua Mist and I stamped the Tin Types background to create my own BG paper.  I adhered it to a panel of Simply Chartreuse and finished it off with some zig zag stiching.  It's funny, I actually dropped out of 2 adult sewing classes.  I just  couldn't get the hang of it, my Mother is an incredible seamstress, that gene apparantly skipped me.  I am however finding some success sewing on cards - sewing straight lines of course ;) haven't tried it in a circle...maybe soon!!

Ok, back to the card...The base is Kraft and I swiped my fresh snow inkpad around the edges to soften it.  Hello is stamped onto cream cs and cut out with a nestie as is the black scalloped oval.  Onto the Deets..

Stamps:  PTI's Flower Garden & Tin Types Background

Cardstock:  PTI's Kraft, Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse, Cream, Black; Strathmore watercolor

Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black; Memento Tuxedo Black; PTI Fresh Snow; SU's Summer Sun for sponging the sentiment.

Extras:  Tombow Markers, Aquapainter, Sewing Machine, Nesties, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!!!

I Love You Beary Much!

I have a sweet little card to share with you today.  This cute little bear is from There She Goes.  Just the cutest thing I have ever seen... The card measures 3 3/4" square.

I stamped the images several times on watercolor paper then watercolored them with Tombow Markers and an aquapainter.  I cut out pieces and popped them up with dimensionals.  Here's a close up.

I think it turned out cute.  Ok, here are the Deets
