SSINK - Welcome Baby

Today, on the SSInkspiration blog we are all sharing baby ideas.  Pamela Wu from our design team is expecting a baby any day now, and we wanted to share baby projects to share in her excitement.

Here is my card:

For my card, I started with a Marina Mist cad base.  I wanted a watercolor wash background.  I used a piece of watercolor paper, and my Aqua Painter to swish on some color.  I used Lemon Lime Twist, Marina Mist, and Daffodil Delight.  While I waited for it to dry, I used my circle punches, and some Daffodil Delight cardstock scraps to make a little duck.  Before gluing the pieces together, I inked around the edges with my sponge, and Daffodil Delight ink.  When my background was dry, I stamped my greetings in Basic Black Archival Ink.  The Oh Joy comes from the Watercolor Christmas stamp set available in the holiday catalog.  I also used a Hello Baby greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  My watercolor wash layer is matted in Lemon Lime Twist.

That is all I have to share for today, be sure to stop by the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog to see what the other design team members are sharing!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone!   Welcome to Monday!  I hope you have had a wonderful weekend!  Monday means challenge day over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration.  This week we have a fun sketch challenge for you.  

Here is the sketch:

I think this sketch is fun, and artsy.  I like all the different elements.

Here is my card:

I used the Badges and Banners stamp instead of the triangles in the sketch.

I used my Lemon Lime Twist re-inker and Aqua Painter to make a watercolor wash background.  When it was dry, I used the Aqua Painter with some Basic Black ink to splatter on the background.  I did the same thing with my clear Wink of Stella pen.  I then used a couple of elements from the Timeless Textures stamp set to add some.. texture.  LOL  A little bit of Silver Metallic Thread, and 1/8" Silver Ribbon finished off my card.

Be sure to head over to Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration to see what the other design team members have done with this sketch, and please, play along with us!  You can join the challenge any time this week.  I can't wait to see what you do!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
