All the latest entries!

Hello stampers!

I trust that you all had a fabulous weekend!

I am here again today to share all the lovely new entries that have hit my inbox lately!

First we have this cute little gift tag that was sent in by Mim:

Mim says:

"I began by cutting a circle shaped card from pink cardstock and stamping the dots background using Versamark ink. I then used some puff embossing powder to emboss the dots with a heat gun. I punched a circle and champagne/glass from white cardstock and inked the edges a little. Had a rolled flower diecut sitting on the desk, so rolled it up and plonked it on, then added a sentiment stamped with hot pink ink and cut into a little flagged strip".

Gorgeous work Mim!

Next we have a delightful card that was created by Laurence Schmitz from Belgium:

Laury says:

"I made a card, the background is made with gesso, acrylic paint and watercolors. I stamped the bird with black versafine ink and the sentiment on a separate paper (stamp is by Infinimentscrap) and cut it out with decorative scissors. I added masking tape and stamped around the edges with different stamps. I was so glad to find these yummies cups and was inspired by their colours to make my card".

What a gorgeous present for someone Laury! I'm sure whoever receives it will be thrilled!

Next we have ths card that was created by Alison Hall from the UK:

Alison says:

"First of all, I made some inky backgrounds, then I die cut some flowers using Tim Holtz’s Tattered Florals die. I stamped a dotty background (The Artistic Stamper) on two of the flower layers".

"For the leaves, I covered a scrap of grungeboard with some Symphony tissue tape, inked it with meadow alcohol ink, then hand cut two leaves".

"The background is made with alcohol inks. I stamped the dotty stem (Inkadinkado) & greeting (Tim Holtz), using coffee archival ink, then clear embossed them. I inked the edges with the coffee ink, then clear embossed those too".

"I took a 7x5″ kraft card blank, & stamped more dotty swirls from the Inkadinkado set around the edge, using the coffee ink. Finally, I glued my background, flower & leaves in place, adding a silver button to the centre of the flower to finish".

Beautiful work Alison!

Next we have this lovely canvas that was created by Shirley Henry:

Shirley says:

"My 6x6 canvas was painted with Viva Metal in Blue Lagoon. Has a lovely shimmery effect. Foam circle/spots stamps were stamped over canvas with white paint. The gorgeous clock and bird are from two different napkins. The LIFE quote is a pre cut sticker, which was distressed with antique linen ink".

"The large flower has a Polka Dots button from Purple Pumpkin. I distressed the button with antique linen distress ink. The two small white flowers sprayed with Sand Glimmer mist. Leaves are a magnetic die from Tim Holtz Mini Branch and Leaf set. I used a bone scorer to score lines on the leaves and then distressed with antique linen distress ink. I added some small and large white pearls to the outside of the clock".

Fabulous work Shirley! See more pics of Shirley's lovely Canvas on her blog here.

Last but not least we have this very cute card that was created by Donna Hourigan:

Donna says:

"I created this circle "get well soon" card with numerous circles and dots elements. The items I used are generic black and white cardstock, Kaisercraft clear Circle Stamps, Inkadinkadoo patterned pets stamp (I used the dog and I named him spot btw..lol), Creative Memories Circle Punch and Custom Cutting System Circle and blades, and pink and silver papermate gel pens". 

"On the inside of the card I printed my text in a circle in word using the wordart feature and chose a spotty font".

Terrific work Donna!

Well that's all from me for today! There are only a few more days left to get your entries in for this challenge - I'm looking forward to seeing what else lands in my inbox!

Stay inky!
