Snow

Greetings! So lovely of you to drop by my blog today! We have a new challenge at Inkspirational!

This time, it's a "word prompt." Lots of different ways to go with the word, "Chill." I immediately thought of being outside, as the weather turns cooler. You will want to stop over, though, at Inkspirational, to see how the rest of the Design Team interpreted the challenge.  We hope you will consider creating a piece of your own to share with us.

For my piece, I worked with an image by Gecko Galz. The snowflakes, sentiment and branches on the front of the card are all by Oxford Impressions. Had fun with my Ranger Enamels and Stickles in completeting my card. Thanks for visiting. Best, Yvonne

Sparkle!

 

Greetings! It is time, once again, for a new challenge over at Inkspirational Challenges!

 

The theme is "Black with one other color." I hope you will pop over to see all the Inkspiration pieces the Design Team created and be Inkspired to create one of your ow to share with us.

For my card, I used a stamp set by Visible Image and stamped with Distress Paint. The raindrops are Ranger Enamel. Thanks for stopping by!

 

 





Vintage Toys

 

Greetings! I am late posting my design team sample for the new challenge over at Inkspirational.  An unexpected 8-day stay in the hospital for my husband has really upset the apple cart!

 

 

As you can see from the photo above,  we are working from the photo to be inspired to create our projects.  I hope that you will pop over to see all the fabulous creations from our design team, and guest designer, and then consider joining in the fun with a project of your own.

 

For my own card, I had to dig back very deep into my early stamp acquisitions to a set called "Vintage Toys" by Invoke Arts Stamps. The last time I created with this set, it came out quite different. I decided to make polka dots by dipping the bottom of a tool into crackle paint.  I guess because it was such small quantities the crackle really doesn't show. The images were stamped on scrap water color paper, trimmed and water colored with Tombow markers. Some washi tape was used to ground the toys. A bit of stenciling with Distress Ink, and a touch of Ranger Enamel.

 

Thanks so much for dropping by.

 

Best, Yvonne

 

Red, Blue and Yellow...

 

Greetings and thank you for your faithful visits to my blog! Back today with a card I made for the newest challenge of "Primary Colors" for Inkspirational.  I hope you will stop over to see all the varied (and stunning) work created to inspire you by the rest of the Design Team and then create a piece of your very own to share with us.

 

 

 

I must say that I cannot remember the last time that I worked in primary colors....I began with red and yellow Brusho Crystals and sprayed water on them on water color paper.  The images are all by Stampotique and were colored in the Towbow Markers. Loving the new Ranger Enamels used to accent my card.  Thanks for stopping by.

 

Best, Yvonne
