Feeling Fruity!

 Hello bloggers,

There's a fruity theme happening in blogland at the moment - both The Paper Players and Time Out have a fruity inspiration pic to play with:

My inky mojo has escaped in the last few weeks and even this CAS one was a bit of a struggle. I grabbed a couple of very old Whimsy Stamps sets and stamped/coloured away.  The sentiment's from an equally old Waltzingmouse set. 

Happy stamping!

AAA Cards Challenge #272: Sketch - Guest Designer

Hello inkers!

I'm delighted to be guest designer this week for AAA Cards - it's a sketch challenge so here's my take on it:

This Grunge Me Papertrey Ink set is so old and so well used! The stamps all need a really good wash - you know when you try and stick them to your Misti or acrylic block and they fall off? It's a great set for playing around with so after a few random stamps on some scrap paper I settled on this.  I coloured some of the circle centres with Copics but otherwise left the stamps alone.

The challenge runs until 31st August and you could be in with the chance of being a future guest designer. Make sure you pop over to the DT to say hello - they alway provide heaps of inspiration!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Stamps SSC #340

Hello again,

There's nothing like a layered sketch to use up some of the patterned paper I've been hoarding: 

I used a whole heap of My Mind's Eye papers from years ago - the cute little bee is from Your Next Stamp and sentiment is MFT. 

Thanks for popping by,

Claire
