Halloween/Christmas Treat Buckets
I have been keeping this under my hat until today’s class. I’d promised 6 buckets for each class and couldn’t find the inspiration for the 6th Halloween one till the early hours of Sunday morning and that’s when Count Dracula was “born”. Thank goodness we had that extra hour with the clocks changing. I eventually […]
Inspiring Inkin #Challenge 13 – Set Colours with new stamp set
This fortnight’s challenge was to use Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red and Old Olive and to use a new stamp set. Well, not only did I use the new stamp set, but a whole new range of products from SU’s 2009-2010 IB&C! Can you spot them all? The new Good Friend stamp set, On Board […]

Inspiring Inkin Challenge #12 – Split Negative, Flight of the Butterfly
For this challenge we had to do a split negative technique. Basically you stamp an image twice, once on very dark card stock (with Versamark and then white embossed) – I used Elegant Eggplant card stock here, and the other, on neutral card stock – I used Very Vanilla and stamped the same image in […]
