Inkspired Blog Hop 39

Hi everyone and welcome to another Inkspired Blog Hop. You may have come from the remarkable Renee who I am sure has created an amazing card.

Our sketch for today is:

I had quite a few different ideas for this sketch but finally decided on this card:

I have made this card for a friend's birthday. She recently commented about how she always wanted a blue hydrangea but couldn't grow one. I knew her birthday was coming up and decided to make her one.

I altered the sketch slightly to make the rectangle bigger. I used the Thoughtful Branches Bundle to stamp and cut the flower in Marina Mist. The stem is made from Old Olive. I used the stamp set Balloon Celebration for the sentiment.

Our next artist is the marvellous Maree. I am sure she has made a magnificent card!

Bye for now!

Hello and welcome to Inkspired Blog Hop 38. You may have come from Renee who I know will have made a fabulous card.

This is the sketch that Teneale provided us with:

I had an idea for this sketch, however I left it too late to order my supplies so I had to come up with something else. I eventually came up with this:

I was puzzling over which colours to use and then I noticed how nice the grey was on our new chairs. So I decided on a combination of Smoky Slate and Pool Party. The stamped flower is from the Flourishing Phrases set and I stamped several times (in Pool Party) before re-inking. 

I die cut the flower from the Flourish Thinlits in Smoky Slate and then went over it with Wink of Stellar to brighten it up. The ribbon is 1/8 inch ribbon in Silver. 

I knew that it needed a sentiment and decided to use the Happy Birthday stamp from the Confetti Celebrations set. I then used a new favourite in the Classic Label Punch to make it stand out.

I hope you like it!

Our next artist is the amazing Maree. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us.

Bye for now!

Inspired Blog Hop 37

Hi everyone and welcome to our Inkspired Blog Hop 37! This is my first Blog Hop and I am very excited! You may have come from Renee and I know she will have created a wonderful card!

This is the sketch that Teneale provided us with this week:

The card I made was a sympathy card for a work colleague. A couple of weeks ago her Grandma passed away. My Nan passed away in February so I understood what she was going through. Here is the card I made for her based on the sketch:

I altered the sketch slightly joining the star and dots together. My Nan loved flowers and she would have loved this card.

I decided to use the hostess set Gift of Love for the flower, using Sweet Sugarplum and Emerald Envy stamped off. I then placed some Emerald Envy rushed ribbon across the card. I used a personal favourite for the greeting; Teeny Tiny Sentiments and used the Classic Label Punch with it.

This was a fun card to make, even though it was for a sad reason. 

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to see what Maree has is store for us (I'm sure it is as fabulous as always!)

If there is anything you want to order from me please don't hesitate to contact me!

Bye for now,

Allison
