#SSINKTC47

Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I spent most of the weekend just relaxing with my husband. It was such a nice change from our usually jam packed schedule!

Today, at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration we have a Technique Challenge starting.

I was a little apprehensive about, and intimidated by this technique to start with. But I am so glad I tried it out! It is fun, and also an easy way to make up a whole set of coordinating cards!

Here is my card:

I used the Pear Pizazz, Rose Red, Calypso Coral, and Crushed Curry reinkers with the Ink Spray & Smash technique to create my background. I then stamped images from the Paisleys & Posies stamp set over the background, using Archival Basic Black ink. I dressed it up with some Pear Pizazz shimmer ribbon, and Black Mini Sequins, and a Happy Birthday greeting from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

I hope you will head over to the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog and see what the other design team members did with this technique, and maybe even play along with the challenge yourself!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

SSInk Technique Challenge - Masking

Hello everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas! It is Monday, and that means another great challenge from Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration!

Today, we have a Technique Challenge for you. We are Masking. I love masking. The ability to make rows of images, without overlapping them, or making them muddy just makes me happy.

Here is my card:

I *love* the Jar of Cheer stamp set from the Holiday Catalog - and am very sad that it is retiring. I knew I needed to use it at least one more time. So today, I am sharing a winter birthday card.

I started by Stamping the middle jar, and the snowman insde the jar. I used the coordinating Everyday Jar framelits to cut out a jar using a post it note. I used that cut post it note to cover the jar I stamped, and then stamped a second and third jar on either side of the first. I also stamped the two trees while the middle jar was covered with the post it note. I did the same thing to make the two outer jars.

Once the jars were stamped, I used my Tempting Turquoise Stampin' Write Marker to color in the hat, and part of the scarf on the snowman. I also use the Pumpkin Pie marker to color his nose.

You can see in this second picture that I used Clear Wink of Stella to add some snow to my green trees, and also to the pile of snow that the snowman sits on.

I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge, over at SSInkspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

#SSInkTCC37 - Tiled Effect

Today, I'm playing along with the challenge posted over at SSInk. This week they have a technique challenge. I love this technique!

Here's my card:

I did a 1/2" grid for my Whisper White, and then stamped the large flower from Birthday Blooms in Basic Black on top. I water-colored the image using my aquapainter and some reinkers.
