If you think you’ve come to the wrong place – news is you haven’t! I just fell in love with the colour combo for Inspiring Inkin’s Challenge #3, so much so that I gave my blog a complete makeover! I would have changed the signature here too, except I couldn’t find any information on how […]

Inspiring Inkin Challenge #3 Colour Combo
The challenge was to use a colour combo in Basic Black, Whisper White and any other colour from the Bold Brights family. I chose Tempting Turquoise for my Bold Bright colour to make a waterfall card with a twist. Instead of stamping different images, I stamped the same image 4 times slightly lower than the […]
Sizzix Pop Up Boat
I gave my Cricut Expression an airing today, and cut out this ship, the wave and anchor. At first glance this looks like a very ordinary card, until you open it up. When you open the card, it reveals this surprise! I stamped the sentiments from Starring You stamp set in Real Red, cut out […]

Graduation
I was “crafting” at a friend’s house today and got an opportunity to play with her stuff some of which isn’t available to SU Eu as yet. I do hope they’ll make it into our new catty soon. I love it! I ran a Versamark inkpad over the dry embossed image and then picked up […]
