JUGS Inspiration Time

Maria is Hosting this week and it is our

Inspiration Challenge

Don't you just love what she picked for us?



 

 

Nothing looks more inviting than a gingham table cloth

with yummy mouth watering watermelon.

But then there is that lovely old red car in the background.

Take your pick on what inspires you and let those

creative juices flow.

 

 

That gingham table cloth sold me so that is what I went for.

I got out my Sizzix Hexagon embossing folder for my background

and die cut varies sized Spellbinder hexagon dies.

One that I haven't used in a while.

These were cut out from scrap DP.

Added several Sizzix butterflies after inking around the edges

Sentiment sponged lightly and from Gina K Designs

Finished with a few pearls.

 

Hope you are inspired and you pop over to our JUGS blog

 to see what the Design Team and Guest - Ros Crawford created

and come join in this weeks Challenge.

Time to Sketch at Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday

 

It is time again for me to post for our Latest Challenge over at

Try Stampin' or Not on Tuesday

and you can find all the details HERE.

 

 

I had been away visiting my sister when the sketch below was

put up for the DT to work on so I had to quickly get into my

craft space and get to work.

Well I think Mo and Jo were napping

as it took me a little while to think about what I wanted to make.

Lucky for me we don't have to include stamping as what I made

would not have been suitable (phew)

This gorgeous photo and sketch below is courtesy of KAYLIN.

 

 

I found some scrapbooking paper that looked colourful

just like the photo so after I embossed my blue paper

and cut it with my Stampin' Up die

I cut out the HELLO die from Lawn Fawn

and glued the little centre pieces to finish.

My flower is from MFT - Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose

popped on Spellbinder dies and I added

Startdust Stickles.

So there you have it.

WIW Inspiration Challenge at The House

There is the most beautiful photo over at

The House that Stamps Built

and I got the chance to play with another new stamp

from Repeat Impressions.

 

Don't you just LOVE IT!

 

I have been away visiting my sister for the last week and

now getting back to normal and back in my craft room.

Here is what I made.

 

My base is Kraft c/s and scored

The background for my focal image is

sponged with Distress Inks

Stormy Sky Peacock Feather and

Cracked Pistachio

I then sponged some Iridescent medium

for a touch of shimmer.

The Flower is from Repeat Impressions - 9706

Embossed with Candy Blue

and Butterfly - 107 in Black

Added a touch of gold liquid pearls to the centre

of the flower and roughed it up for texture.

Finished with a sentiment from Justrite

and popped my flower.
