The first of my 2 cards for today is for the Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge Blog, Vannessa, Amy and Elaine do a brilliant job of giving us some wonderful challenges and lots of inspiration. They are all Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who are part of my Inspiring Inkin’ team and use Stampin’ Up! only products in the challenges, do visit the blog and join in we would love to see your creations! You can find the blog here.
So Challenge No 18 is the chalkboard technique, you use Whisper White Craft ink and pounce Stampin’ Pastels into the stamped images, I always use our sponge daubers. On the card above I have used the Medallion background stamp with Yoyo Yellow, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red pastels to give the sunset effect. The scalloped image is part of the new Sale-a-bration set Vintage Labels with a little Pretty ink Pink ribbon to finish.
My second card is using the same sale-a-bration set, this time partnered with my old favourite combination, Sage Shadow and Chocolate chip! I have punched out a variety of circles and hoops from the Speciality Designer Series paper To the Nines and layered them one on top of the other.
There seems to be a bit of a thaw today, but the clouds look full of snow so we shall see what the rest of the day brings……..meantime I’m going to make some more samples with my Sale-a-bration sets so do pop back tomorrow.
Happy Stampin’

Thrilled that our Stampin’ Up! Mummy’s leading the way – thanks for joining in the challenge – love that medallion stamp and a brill combination with the SAB set too!
That looks lovely Amanda, I can’t wait to try my Medallion stamp!!
That looks so effective with the medallion stamp and all those colours are gorgeous together.
I’ve only just got my craft ink pad, must try this technique, thanks for the inspiration!
I was inspired by Jane for the cirlces on my Circles & Stars card, now looking at yours I have even used the same DSP as you!! Great minds think alike, lovely cards, I am going to give the Challenge a go soon x
