All is Calm, All is Bright


Greetings! The weeks roll by and it is already time for another challenge over at Inkspiration! This time, we are challenged to create a Christmas Card using only Neutral Colors!


I hope you will stop over to see what the rest of the design team have dreamed up to inspire you and then create a project of your own to share with us! For my own project, I began with a kraft paper panel, tore paper and added it to the panel. I stamped images onto the panel with Archival Ink. I buttered the white paper with texture paste and added some Stickles for sparkle. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Yvonne

Peace On Earth

 
Greetings! It is time, once again, for a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge. Our challenge theme:  Nature.
I hope you will stop on over to FSC to see what the rest of the Design Team have dreamed up to inspire you and then create a project of your own to share with FSC. Remember one lucky participant will be selected to win a free stamp courtesy of our gracious sponsor Ink Art Designs. As always, we are a stamp challenge, so please remember your project must use stamping as a focal point.
 
For my own piece, I watercolored the top of a panel with water colors and used acrylic paint on the bottom. The stamp images are by Tim Holtz for Stampendous. Thanks so much for stopping by. Best, Yvonne

May your Christmas be Bright

Greetings! It is time, once again, for a new challenge over at Inkspirational! This time, we have a word prompt: Trend
 
 
There are all sorts of ways to define "trend" of course, and if you pop on over to Inkspirational, you will see each designer's unique approach. For my own card, I decided to go with a Christmas Card, as we are starting to see a wave of them with the Holidays upon us.
 
It is unusual for me not to have stamping on my cards, but I recently received a packet of free goodies with an order from Funkie Junkie Boutique and I thought it would be fun to craft a card using the items.  As well, I understand large die cuts are popular just now.
 
I worked with Magicals by Lindy's Stamp Gang and then layered my pieces on top of the panel before matting and attaching to a card base. 
 
We hope you are inspired to create a trendy project of your own to share with us! Thanks for stopping by! Yvonne

Imagine

 
Greetings! It is time for a new challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu, and this time the theme is "Anything Goes!" It's an opportunity to pull out one of your uninked stamps and get inky!
 
For my own project, I colorized a water color background panel a variety of Distress Oxides and a new to me stencil by Donna Downey. The images on the background and the focal images are from a set by Katzelkraft Stamps.The focal images were stamped multiple times with different inks and pieced together to add a bit of color. 
 
I hope that you will pop on over to see what the rest of the Design Team have dreamed up for you and then create a piece of your own to share with us.  Thanks for stopping by. Yvonne
