Happy {Water}Colors ~ Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration

Happy Monday and Happy February!  Is it me, or did the month of January just disappear right before our eyes?!?!?  Wowzers! 

 

The amazing crew over at SSInk has a beautiful color challenge for you this month.  Along with these pretty colors, my creative INKspiraiton came from this card my good friend and fellow SSInk DT member, Cynthia with Ink-A-Doodle Creations, sent me a couple weeks ago.    Isn't it gorgeous?

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette, Champagne Glimmer Paper

Ink ~ Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette

Stamp Sets ~ Happy Watercolor, Hardwood, Petite Petals

Other Supplies ~ Metallic Brads(retired), Gold Sequin Trim, Gold Bakers Twine, Decorative Label Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Little Leaves Sizzlits

 

I had a special request for a 90th birthday card with pink and greens, so these colors were prefect!  To make things easy, I used the same layout...

Be sure to check out all of the beautiful creations from the rest of the SSInk Design Team Members and don't forget to play along! We would love to have your link up your card for all of us to see!

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

 



Sun, Sand and Sailing



 

Welcome back to another Monday Montage blog hop!  Be sure to make your way through all ten posts...you won't want to miss one single project from this awesome group!

 

I don't know about you, but I am done with the cold, dreary, gray sky days.  I am ready for some sun, sand and sailing!  Just a few more months and I'll be making that dream a reality on the beaches of Florida.  But for now, I'll have to make due with some warm weather beach creations to help me get through the rest of the winter months.

 

First up is a card that makes me feel like I've got my toes in the sand, watching the ocean waves and breathing the fresh salt water air...

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Smoky Slate Core'dinations, Fresh Prints DSP

Ink ~ Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, Sahara Sand

Stamp Sets ~ Hardwood, By the Seashore, MDS Anchors Away

Other Supplies ~ Silhouette e-cutter, Silver Bakers Twine, Woodgrain Embossing Folder

 

I used my e-cutter to cut out the "Life is Better" sentiment...I LOVE that machine!

 

My next card makes me feel like I'm on a sailboat, feeling the wind in my hair and sun on my face...and would work for a great Valentine's card for a guy!

  I cut a heart out on the front of the card and popped up a bright Real Red heart on the inside...

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Real Red, Pacific Point, High Tides DSP, Fresh Prints DSP

Ink ~ Smokey Slate, Versa Mark

Stamp Sets ~ Hardwood, Hello, Sailor

Other Supplies ~ Banners Framelits, Hearts Framelits, Starburst Framelits, Silver Bakers Twine, White Embossing Powder

 

I am counting down the days until we hop on a plane and head for warmer weather, sunshine and sand!  I hope you all start warming up soon too!

 

Next up in the hop is Cathy and I promise her post will WOW you once again.  Or if you prefer to hop backwards, you can head on back to the amazing creation by Amy ...she inspires me each and every week!  Either way, just make sure you make the whole loop and don't miss any of us.  And don't forget to leave us some love on our blogs...we love hearing from you!

 

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!
