Thank you for your sweet visit today!

DT INkspirational Fold

 

Hero Arts wooden stamp/Heroscapes sentiment, Technique Tuesday Shade and Valance, My Favorite Things Peek-A-Boo Stitched Window

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

The prompt is Fold, so I tried out this die for the first time, and it's a Technique Tuesday Shade and Valance die.

I had to fold the peak and valleys to give the shade proper dimension.

Behind the window is an image stamped from a Hero Arts wooden stamp.

Please join us with your unique creation!

Time for a New Chapter Embossed Image

Hero Arts Girl (Looking to the Stars, Architectural Wonders, City HeroScape sentiment, Venetian Neighborhood), Lawn Fawn Stitched Thought Bubble, MFT Stitched Clouds, Distress Inks, Versamark Ink,Black embossing powder

This card came together organically, in that I had the background available, and the other pieces seemed to fit on them well.

The embossed image and Architectural Wonders are fairly recent purchases; aren't they fun?!

DT Designer Choice White on White

We have a new challenge at INkspirational!

Papertrey Ink Boutique Borders/Splits:Happy Birthday Set, Cuttlebug Embossing Folders Bird Call & Floral Screen

 

It's Julia's choice, and she picked White on White.

I felt it was appropriate for sympathy cards, which unfortunately, is always needed.

I used embossing folders for texture and Papertrey Ink sentiment borders, which I've had for awhile now (not sure if they are currently still available).

We hope you join us with your unique creation!
