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.

Mojo Monday 97

Just as Mojo Monday load up another challenge I manage to just complete the last one. Well better late than never I say!! I am an absolute HUGE fan of sketch challenges. Love em. I love seeing how different everyones take on the sketches are and find they are a huge source of inspiration. This is my take on last weeks sketch. My eldest daughter has a birthday party on Saturday which seems to be a never ending occurance at our house with the four kids being invited here there and everywhere. Their social life sure outshines mine but what better excuse to make cards! So whilst the birthday is not themed I used the excuse that it was for an 8 year old girl to use the new stamp set that just arrived in the post this weekend. How exciting. I do have a lot to learn about colouring with Copics though but the more practise the better.

All products are Stampin Up unless otherwise stated. I have used:

C/stock: whisper white, tempting turquoise, taken with teal, bali breeze DSP (retired)

Stamps: Something Fishy Wheel, Underwater Sentiments - Amy R Stamps, Ginger Snap Underwater Sugar Plums Stamps

Accessories: eyelet border punch (inside card), photo corner punch, 1/2" circle punch, fine supernova glitter blue, kindyglitz crystalina, mermaid stickles, champagne stickles, liquid pearls, round and scallop nestabilities, copics, spica pens, My Timeless Templates (Lauren Meader) - Pretty Petal Pocket.

Thanks for looking
