Artistically Inked #2......

Hello again, everyone: As always, it's my hope and wish you and your families are doing well, taking care of each other and staying healthy and safe.

********************************

Here's a card I made to remind you to come and play along with us over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE , you have until September 28th. to load up your cards, we hope to see you in our gallery.

I've been having lots of fun playing with this truly beautiful Stampin' Up! set called Artistically Inked, these images look amazing stamped in any color.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

Stampin' Up! "Artistically Inked"

An Old but still juicy SU "Tempting Turquoise" ink pad.

The leaves were stamped twice, once with "Tempting Turquoise" and again

with "Old Olive", I really like the color I got, not green or blue, but it's just right.

I used the dies from this bundle to cut all the images.

I hope you come and play along with us over at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE, we can't wait to see what you create.

Until next time, stay healthy and safe.

XO
Maria.

Eastern Influences.....

Hello everyone: Well, I'm here again with a little reminder post for THE FLOWER CHALLENGE in which we are asking you guys to use your older, older stamps or dies, you know? those neglected sets maybe at the bottom of a drawer or up in a box somewhere in your craft room.

We want you to give them a chance to shine again.

This is the card I made to inspire you to come and play along with my teammates and I in our gallery.

This is my oldest flower stamp set, it's from SU, it's called Eastern Influences and it's from 2008!!
The flower and the swallows are stamped on a piece of white card stock with Stazon black ink, I colored the flower with my Prismacolor pencils and paper stumps dipped in Gamsol, then, I fussy cut all of this images.
I stamped the branch on a die cut piece of black card stock with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder then glued my images on top.
The Joy sentiment is from a Penny Black die set "Love and Joy".
I also found a little bag with this very shiny fabric so I thought of putting a piece in the back just for a bit of bling.
*********************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

I love this sentiment from Power Poppy's "Short Stacks", the punched detail at the top is from an ultra old Friskars punch, the cherry branch from the SU set.

So I hope you come along and play with us at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE gallery, just remember to read our rules and please add our banner to your blog post when you upload your card.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
