MFT Card Challenge

Hello inkers,  hope everyone had a lovely Easter! 

 

What's a girl to do but get carried away with four days off and make not just one but three Christmas cards for the MFT Sketch Challenge:

 

 

 

 

I love a simple sketch, but especially one that uses up those little strips of MFT patterned paper I insist on keeping because one day I might just use them. I figure if I colour a couple of these cute moose's each month I'll have all my cards done for the year. 

Happy stamping!

MFT Colour Challenge

Hello Inkers,

February already and not many cards to show for it - nothing like an MFT challenge to encourage me to get colouring though:

All MFT products except the '60'. It doesn't seem two minutes since I started sending 50th cards and now I'm on to the 60th's....sometimes I wish I could wind back the time!

Happy stamping!

January Altenew Inspiration Challenge

Hello inkers,

Here's a couple of cards - one for Altenew's January Inspiration Challenge and the other for Addicted to CAS:

I coloured the Altenew blooms with pencils for a change, using the Beach Towel Stripes Stencil for the background. The darker pink flowers are the Mini White Splendour set - who said they had to be white eh? The larger bloom is from Beautiful Day - an oldie but a goodie that I'll never tire of inking up. 

For the second one my inky mojo got up and left in case you can't tell. The reading glasses are from an older YNS set which I've stamped, coloured and added some Glossy Accents to. 

Happy stamping!

Breaking the Card Drought: Freshly Made Sketch - 717

Hello inkers, happy new year!

I can't believe it's been over 3 months since I made a card.  I've gone back to work full time in a new industry in a job that's busy 100% of the time and it doesn't leave room for much card making. Loving it, but I wish I had the time to ink up more often!

 

I had a little time off over Christmas, most of it spent holidaying with friends but I did manage to make this card for my father-in-law, using Freshly Made Sketch 717.  All the stamps I used are pretty ancient - almost as old as that typewriter probably!

Happy stamping!
