This fortnight’s Inspiring Inkin’ challenge is a sketch challenge and the twist was to use a Sale-a-bration set. Earlier in the week, I’d lost my mojo, but I found it again when this lovely Bella Toile background stamp was delivered by our favourite Courier – UPS on Thursday! I inked the Bella Toile background stamp […]

Inspiring Inkin Challenge #18
First a big, big “Thank You” to the lovely Vannessa for her time and effort in setting these challenges for us and I’m hoping that in 2010, more people will take the time to participate in it. Our first challenge this year is to use the chalkboard technique and the side twist was to use […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge#17
For this fortnight’s challenge, we had to make a Box in a Bag gift bag with a card and gift tag and use one of the new ribbons. This is what I made as illustrated in the picture above. This is a close up of the card. It has a star shaped aperture in the […]
Inspirin Inkin Challenge #15

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 […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #11 Picture Inspiration
I used the sizzix fringed flower die to cut several layers of flower held together with a rhinestone brad to resemble the silver charm in the picture below. I punched out several 3/4″ circles in Tempting Turquoise and Pixie Pink, inked the edges in correlating colours to give it some depth to resemble the flat […]
