Inkspirational #76

Our challenge this week at Inkspirational is to 

use rose shades of red and /or pink. You may also use green leaf colours, black, white or cream and realistic colours for skin, fur and hair.

I went with pink:

Yes, I actually got out my copics and used 3 shades to colour my flower. This is a boxed bloom from STAMPlorations. I haven't coloured for a while and am not so good at it but I did enjoy making this and do find colouring and blending relaxing.

For this challenge we are joined by the very creative and innovative Jill. She creates amazing cards and if you don't know Jill pop over to her blog My Life In Paper and you will be inspired.

Don't forget to check out what our DT have created for you here and then get stamping!

I will enter this into CASology-Birthday.

Time for some 'Mytime'

Hello All

I am here today not with a card but to introduce to you to a new blog that Kylie and myself set up for my Sister-in law's organic skin care business. It is called 'Mytime'. Check out their website site here and their blog here.

The products really are good and they have a follower give away going on at the moment-details can be found here

I know we all like to spend our free time crafting but why not spend some time looking after our skin.

I will be writing 2 blogs a month for Mytime with lots of tips on how to look and feel healthy!

Thanks for dropping by and I will be back tomorrow with cards!!

Monday Mood Board

Hi All,

I don't normally post 2 cards in one day but I made this for The Monday Mood board and then realised it will be closing.

I hope you can see I was inspired by the lights in this picture:

Addicted to Stamps and More #129

Hello my friends

It is time for our CAS challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.

For this challenge we are being sponsored by STAMPlorations. I love their stamps and have used them for my card today. I actually got this idea after I saw this tutorial by Vicki on their site.

This involves more masking than I am used to and even a homemade stencil!! However I love the look and made a few the same with the odd twist. I will be trying this again.

Our DT have all made fabulous cards, you can check them out here.

I am going to enter this into:
