Hello Everyone,

Welcome, I hope you are doing well today!

This is the final background technique for this week. This time we are doing a bit of watercolouring!

Geometric Background featuring The Right Triangle stamp set

Hello Everyone,

More background building today using the Right Triangle stamp set.

I chose greens to complement the leaf design in the image.

I also made a version in blue. Which is your favourite?

See how I made this card in my video tutorial;

I think these images would work well with emboss resist technique.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

This week I am making backgrounds! And I am starting with this blended background using the 2920 in colours.

Hello Everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

This idea entered my head from somewhere…. I wanted to create a window look with the Postage Stamp punch!

InspireInk Blog Hop – New Catalogue Favourites

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK blog hop.

This month we are showcasing the new delights of the 2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue!

Please be sure to click through all the projects in the hop by clicking on the link at the bottom of this post.

I am featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle.

This wouldn’t normally be something I would go for, but I have made so many cards already, I thought I would share another.

This is really easy for a beginner stamper too. Use the colours you have to make your own version of this card.

By using an odd number of images, the card design remains balanced. The stamps have details within them that gives a watercolour effect without the mess.

The Whisper White Tulle adds some soft texture. The sentiment tucks in under the knot nice and neatly.

And here is a closer look at the Melon Mambo version.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
