I am back... for now...

Hi all,

I know it's been a little while since my last post, but I have been super busy and crafting has taken a back seat for a little while. Inkspirations 4U commenced it's Fall session this week and it has really given me the boost I needed to get into my craft room....

This adorable sketch challenge was put together by Andrea Lowcock. Isn't it just divine? You should check out her creation. It's even better than the sketch...lol!

I thought I'd also join this challenge up with the current Late Night Stampers group challenge, which is to use current in-colors.

I have been so busy that it took me three days to make this card... Ridiculous I know... but I had to grab the snippets of time as I found them. On the first night all I had time to do was stamp the images. Then I did some colouring during my lunch break the next day, cut them out that night after I got home from a late night CPR course. I finally got to put it together last night.


Card: Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Pool Party
Ink: Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Lucy Limeade, Basic Black

Till next time, happy stamping...

Little boy wishes

Well this coming week I have two little boys birthdays. These are a little difficult for me, since I have two daughters and find myself living with precious and pink all the time. Anyway I have gone out of my comfort zone to put this card together.

I generally don't go towards the bold brights colours, but thought that they are so much nicer than the blue's and browns I normally use for males.

I enjoyed sitting down and doing a little watercolouring with my aquapainter. It's very therapeutic.

Card: Real Red, Only Orange, Glorious Green, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Handsome Hunter, Stazon Black, Tango Tangerine, Baja Breeze, Glorious Green, Black Marker pen
Watercolour Crayons: Earth Elements and Bold Brights
Punch: 1" circle punch
Cuttlebug: Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder

I hope you like it.

Till next time, happy stamping...
