The Art of Inking

Summer Friends Layout

  I was lucky enough to spend a whole day scrapping with friends on Saturday! I'll try to show you a lot of the layouts that I got done.

This "Summer Friends" layout is about the hummingbirds that visited us all summer long. They just loved our trumpet vines. My daughter, Danielle, took so many pictures, it was hard to pick the best ones.

For the background, I used Ruby red cardstock. The title was made using the Cricut Plantin cartridge with Pumpkin pie cardstock and layering on Basic black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Spring song stamp set for the embellishments, stamping in black stazon and watercoloring in with the aquapainters and watercolor wonder crayons.

 

All supplies are from Stampin' Up! except as noted.

You Did it!

I combined 3 challenges for this card to help me get all the challenges that I like to participate in done this weekend.

The colors (Chocolate chip, Barely banana & Groovy guava) come from Splitcoast's Color challenge 174. The sketch is Jen's Sketch for you to try. And the Our Creative Corner's challenge this week is to do some dry embossing, which is done on the banana cardstock. I used the swiss dot cuttlebug embossing folder.

  The only stamping that is done is on the background. I used the tiny star from the In the Stars stamp set and Versamark ink.

The sentiment is cut with my Cricut using the Beyond birthdays cartridge.

I heat embossed the chipboard star with Choc. chip craft ink and Glassy glaze embossing powder.

Choc. chip 5/8" grosgrain ribbon & Gold brads are also used.

Hi There!

This card was created using 2 Sketches 4 You sketch for July 14th.

I used a patterned paper I had in my stash and picked Pumpkin pie, Pink passion & Whisper white from the colors in it.

I made the scalloped edge using the slit punch and set a white eyelet in each scallop. The pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon was tied around the scalloped piece.

I used my Cricut to cut out the shadowed sentiment with the Beyond Birthdays cartridge.

Just a closeup of the detail & dimension.
