Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team Call

Inky Impressions is having their 2nd Design Team call. They are looking for enthusiastic, friendly and talented stampers to help promote their gorgeous stamps and to provide inspiration to the stamping community, through personal blogs and online galleries.

I absolutely love their little girls stamps, Lili and Angelica. They have such expressive eyes and faces.
I was in the process of getting my own, when I saw the Inky Impressions DT Call, and thought I would give it a go.
I thought it would be nice to have an Aussie on the DT as well!
Here is my card. I decided to try a Constantina card for the first time using Magnolia stamps. I have used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to colour the images, except for the bench, for that I used my Copic markers.

As a project with colouring techniques I decorated a Metal Chai Tea can that I had, and now was empty of the tea. I used Rubberneck Elegant Ladies stamps and also used Distress Inks to colour them. I really enjoyed making this and loved result.

Thanks for Looking.

Simon Says Challenge

Here is a sketch that I did from Simon Says Stamps.
I have been playing with all types of colouring mediums at the moment. This card was done using Derwent pencils and a blending pen. Must say...I am not sure if that is my favourite technique.
The stamp is Tara and is from Victoria Case. Only just found these the other day, and love them.
I used Kaiser PP and Glossy Accents to hightlight the wings.

Whiff of Joy Challenge

Here is a card I made for the WOJ Challenge this week. I used the Basic Grey Bittersweet range of PP again! I am just addicted to the stuff!

Painting with Liquid Pearls

Ok, I found this really exciting. The new Thinking Inking classes this week covered Liquid and Dimentional Pearls and Stickles. We learn't how to paint with them when you add water. I also added some Perfect Pearls to add different colours.
Have made this card for my Omi who is in Hospital at the moment after having a Stroke earlier this week.

First time playing with Alcohol Inks

So I was playing with Alcohol Inks yesterday for the first time ever (kindly lent to me by the lovely Ros). Definitely a new technique that I enjoyed playing with. Here is a card I made with some of my bits and pieces. I think I have enough bits to make a dozen cards!

Friday Sketches Challenge

Here is a quick card I made for the Friday Sketches Challenge.

I used Kaiser papers, Tim Holtz Distress ink and the cute little Mouse Image is from a Scrap Pile swap we did recently.
