This is an altered clear pail which I covered on the inside with Junior Varsity DSP and used as a gift container. I put some chocolates in which I bought from Lydia, a talented member of my Technique Club, who recently held a Father’s Day Theme Card party and she had these for sale as […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #4
The challenge was to make a masculine card. Immediate thought was to use sombre colours, but as I rifled through my cardstock, my eyes fell on the Ski Slope DSP which I had left over and it was just perfect for this pocket card. The stripes lent itself to being used as a man’s shirt […]
A Little Bit of Happiness, Shapes & Shadows
I needed a Thank You card pronto so made this really quick and simple card. I used the leaf from a retired set – Shapes and Shadows and stamped randomly with Versamark on Very Vanilla card stock then used the Pastels to rub over it to create a more distinctive watermark. Inked with Black Stazon […]
Bloomin’ with Beauty
Two posts in one day! I’ve been meaning to photograph this, so since I had the “studio” set up for the other card, I thought I may as well take this photo and post it as well. This is a bought card blank, pre-embossed and ready to embellish. I stamped the image with versamark and […]

I’ve not been able to do any crafting this week, and this will certainly amuse Chris because it’s making an appearance on my blog as I have no cards to post. I really enjoyed working on canvas and using acrylic paints is […]
New Look Blog
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 […]
