THANK YOU

Wow! We have just finished our first month of challenges at Inkspirational and it has been a blast seeing everyone’s creations! Thank you to each one who has joined us, and if you have not had a chance to play in our challenges yet, please pop over and let us see your talents!

Since this is the first week in February, we have a Color Challenge – Kraft, semi-navy and plum -  for you and here is my card.

Our sponsor this month is Eclectic Anthology and they have gorgeous antique and vintage digital images. I chose this beautiful image and added the Thank You sentiment using my computer. I edged the sentiment and panel in Liquid Pearls. It is finished off with small flowers and a tiny butterfly. Beneath the sentiment is a Spellbinders and a couple of Memory Box flourishes.  The blue panel is dry embossed and layered over Kraft and the Kraft is surrounded with Liquid Pearls.

HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS EPIC

Hello sweeties! I am popping in with my **second post** for today, so please be sure to scroll down to see my first one. I have lots to share with you this week!

This card was inspired by CAS-ual Fridays challenge “Love Letters”  - Use letters creatively in your CAS project - die cuts, alpha stamps or stickers etc.

This card will be a birthday card going to one of our deployed heroes somewhere in the world. I recently bought CAS-ual Fridays RAD stamp set because I thought it would be great for making these birthday cards. I hope that my wrapping the sentiment qualifies this card for the CAS-ual Friday challenge this week.  I made the stars by cutting them out and then using Crystal Effects on them.

I was also inspired by this gorgeous CAS card by Birgit Biggan who is one of my favorite CAS card makers!

Thanks for stopping by today!

TIME FOR A NEW TECHNIQUE

Wow. January came and went in a blur! Today is the first Tuesday of the month and that means it is a Technique Time Tuesday!  This month, we have a fantastic technique for you to try, Embedded Image. Mynnette has a detailed tutorial for you so after looking at my card, jump over and give it a try!

As I was making the embedded image panel, it became clear to me that I wanted to make this a vintage style card. Somehow, the image and frame lent itself to that.  So I punched a bunch of strips from this pretty Conservatory paper that I had on hand. I made the frame with a Spellbinders and used my craft knife to create the opening. For the embedded image, I used stamps from Lavinia and the small cloud is from Memory Box. Some lace from RRR, pearls, and a flower complete the card.

OK now it is your turn! Pop over to Technique Time Tuesday and check out Mynnette’s tutorial. I will be watching for your creation! And please don’t forget to check out the Crew’s cards. We love to receive a little love!
