Inkspirational Challenge #25

It’s Wednesday and that means a new challenge over at Inkspirational.

This week we have a CASE challenge for you.

Our sponsor for this month’s challenges is Milk ‘n’ Coffee Digi Stamps.

By entering all our weekly challenges for the month you have a chance to win a fabulous prize from them.

I would have liked to have used a sponsor image again for this CASE challenge but it was too hard as they are all large images.

My original thought was butterflies but I opted for ‘tea cups’.

Here’s another angle.

I’ve used the trio tea cup image from Stampin’ Up!’s Tea Shoppe stamp set and I stamped them in So Saffron & Baja Breeze and then cut them out individually.

I’ve embossed the top 3/4 of the card front using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder. I then stamped the ‘A Cup of Thanks’ sentiment from the Tea Shoppe stamp set in Riding Hood Red and added some Pearls underneath. I also added some Pearls to one of the Tea cup patterns that are stamped in each colour which I have mounted to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Supplies: (All SU unless specified otherwise)
Stamps: Tea Shoppe
Card: Very Vanilla, Riding Hood Red
Ink: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red
Accessories: Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Basic Jewels – Pearls, Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I hope I’ve inspired you with my card. Would love for you to let me know by leaving a comment.

Now it’s time to hop on over to Inkspirational and see what the rest of the DT have created for this CASE Challenge.

Till next time….

Happy Stamping

Pretty In Pink

It’s the 15th of the month so that means a new challenge over at ABC Challenges.

Our sponsor for this challenge is ‘My Favorite Things’ and our challenge is P for ‘Pretty in Pink’.

I’ve made a monochromatic card for my creation, with lots of bling & sparkle.

I’ve used a cute image from My Favorite Things along with their Rolled Rose Die-namics dies in the small & medium sizes.

I’ve stamped my image using Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured with my Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are:
Skin – E00, E000, E0000, R20
Hair – E59, E57, E55
Tights & Wings – C0, C00
Clothes & Shoes – RV11, RV10, RV00, RV000, RV0000

Here’s a few more pictures to show off all the sparkle…

…and a close up of the main image…

…and lastly a close up of the flowers.

I think my card definitely fits the P for ‘Pretty in Pink’ requirement.

I hope you enjoy my card and it’s inspired you to get creating and join our challenge.

Pop on over to ABC Challenges and check out what the rest of our fabulous DT have created.

Supplies: (All SU unless specified otherwise)
