This is the card I designed for our shoe box swap using our new colours. I dug out the Fresh Cuts set, stamped on Very Vanilla in Rich Razzleberry, used a blender pen to colour the flowers in Melon Mambo and the leaves in Garden Green. I cut a strip of Melon Mambo and scalloped […]

Inspiring Inkin’ # Challenge 27
This fortnight’s challenge was a colour combo generated by Scrapmaster’s Paradisecolor combo generator and the colour combo I chose is Old Olive, Barely Banana, Melon Mambo and Very Vanilla. The side twist was to use one of the satin ribbons. I used Barely Banana for my base card, cut out a circle in Barely Banana, […]
On Board Letters
Last night was Inspiring Inkin’s Shoe Box Swap social evening(more posts at a future date on this), and I was ashamed to admit that all the lovely techniques that the lovely Amanda had shown us have been left lying around my craft room unfiled all these months.

I used a polka dot embossing folder on some scrap card stock before punching out the bird and […]
Wonderful Favourites
This “favourite” I stamped in versamark and white embossed made my sister-in-law smile as she is my one and only sister-in-law! Nice to know you’re loved! I dry embossed this flower, reversed it on the debossed side and brayered it to create this effect. Quick and simple to do and hopefully with enough of a […]
