Inkspirations Sketch #12 and then the rest

All the best laid plans.... etc etc. I had some big plans for this weekend stamping-wise but you know how it goes when life gets in the way. We had a great time though. It was very social and lots of fun and awesome weather so I really don't have a lot to share except this which I had sooo much fun creating. Yet again my oldest daughter is invited to another birthday party and this of course provides me with a legitimate excuse to go all girly. 7 year olds still tolerate cutsey fortunately.

I started off with Makeesha's Inkspirations Sketch Challange #12 and came up with this card using my new Enchanted Lily Stamps which are absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to colour.

This image just "screamed" for movement so using one of the new flower brads from SU she now swings from side to side and I have even put an image underneath her that can only be read if she does swing. Check it out. Oh so cute!

Once again I have used a Timeless Template courtesy of the extremely talented Lauren Meader and very quickly whipped up this Fold and Go which houses cute little bottles of toiletries for the birthday girl. And to finish up, no present is complete without lollies which are in this very cute paint tin I found at The Warehouse. Just how I love it! A complete gift all colour co-ordinated and very girly.

I have used: (all products Stampin Up unless indicated)

C/stock: Cameo Coral, Rose Red, Whisper White, Raspberry Tart DSP

Ink: Cameo Coral, Rose Red

Stamps: Embrace Life, Enchanted Lily (Pink Cat Studio)

Accessories: Rose Red Grosgrain Dble Stitched 1", Gold Brads, Flower Brads, Felt Fusion Flowers, Labels 3 Nestabilities, Mat Pack, Eyelet Border Punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, Copics, Spica Glitter Pens, Paint Tin (The Warehouse), Fold N Go Template - Lauren Meader.

Thanks for looking and I hope you have a lovely Monday.

Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #11

Makeeshas' blog has been an absolute favourite of mine for the longgggest time and I have been playing along in complete secret to all her challenges. However now I have my own blog I feel like I am "out of the closet" and can really join in all the fun. Here's my sample for the latest sketch challenge. As I have said before these challenges are my absolute FAV's.

Not only that but I have just completed 2 posts in one day. Gee anyone would think I have all the time in the world! Sometimes I can amaze even myself LOL!

Now you would be forgiven for thinking that once again my photography is extremely bad (and you are quite right), however the central image was really really hard for my camera to focus on. I have stamped the big rose from Fifth Avenue Floral 3 times, twice in kiwi kiss and once in basic grey as I thought it would look cool and I do like how it turn out IRL. Oh well you get the idea??

All items are Stampin Up unless otherwise stated.

Paper: Kiwi kiss, basic grey, Urban Oasis DSP, whisper white

Ink: Kiwi kiss, basic grey

Stamps: Fifth avenue floral, think happy thoughts

Accessories: kiwi kiss 5/8" striped grosgrain, clear circle rhinestone brads, mat pack, dimensionals, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, spiral punch (inside), 1/2"circle, cutter kit.

Thanks for looking
