Work of Art

Posted on

Work of Art Stamp Set is one of those stamp sets that is going to be a lot of fun in the coming months!

Naturally though when it came to using it for the first time my mind when completely blank so what else is a girl meant to do but reach for her trusty Annual Catalog for something to CASE and this is what I found, lol! 🙂Work of Art - Fabulous - JIFThen, as I seem to be in a Monochromatic mood of late, I tried the same layout but in shades of pink. Have to say, this I REALLY liked! 🙂Work of Art - Hues of Pink - JIFThen, as I was still clutching my Moonlight DSP Stack and the 2014-2016 In-Colors in my hand (and I dare to wonder why my children become totally FIXATED with new belongings, lol), naturally this needed to be incorporated into a card. This was my end result. Not bright and colorful yet effective. Work of Art - Hello Honey - JIF

Now that I’ve FINALLY put the Moonlight DSP Stack onto the shelf, along with the 2014-2016 In-Colors, hopefully I can now shake off my fuzzy mind to begin creating some original cards. Stay tuned and fingers-crossed!

Oh, and FYI, if I begin referring to a color as HONEY MUSTARD, please know that I’m referring to the new In-Color of Hello Honey. For some reason that name isn’t sitting right with me so have unintentionally renamed it, oops!

Oh, and have yourself an... Inkee Fiddling Day!

Moonlight Mojo!

Posted on

MOJO MONDAY time and here is my interpretation of this week’s sketch!

Moonlight Mojo349

And this is the sketch from Mojo Monday

Mojo349SketchFor today sketch the Moonlight DSP Stack was my inspiration as my background, bottom strip and even that side of arrows on the left! The Everything Eleanor Stamp Set was perfect for filling in the rest. The flowers I particularly like, especially when highlighted with a little color using an Aqua Painter and some Basic Pearl Jewels!

Everything Elenor - Pearl Flowers - Mojo349 - JIF

The cardstock used, Blueberry Bliss and Hello Honey, are both from the new 2014-2016 In-Color collection. For the ribbon, although knowing what it was I was hoping to achieve, I’d have to admit it wasn’t my finest work (nor is the photography for that matter, lol!) yet is still effective on this card. By the way, this is the new Hello Honey 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon. Nice huh?

Blended Bloom Blendabilities!

Posted on

Oh. My. Goodness. I was so absorbed with Stampin’ Up’s wonderful new Blendabilities yesterday that the day slipped past so quickly it was bed-time before I realized I hadn’t posted what I’d achieved. Dang it… but hey, it was fun. Real fun!

Blendabilities are alcohol based, come in a fabulous rectangular shape that prevents rolling, and like the Stampin’ Up! Markers, have a thin and thick end. Each set comes in a group of three – light, medium and dark – allowing for some beautiful blending.

Blendabilities - what colors - decisions, decisions!!!

Blending is easier said-then-done but oh the joy of learning. 🙂 Here is my first attempt using the Blended Bloom Stamp on the background of Mossy Meadow Cardstock.

My family likes this bloom but it’s only the first of what I’m sure is going to be MANY, lol. Stay tuned!!!

Oh, and have yourself an... Inkee Fiddling Day!
