Inky Impressions February Release

Hello beautiful crafty people,

Today I have a sweet image to share with you from the February New Release at Inky Impressions. She is called Lili with Roses and she is ideal for Mothers Day makes, which is exactly what I have made.  Mothers Day in Australia is in May but there is nothing better than being prepared early.  I have also used a cute Mothers Day sentiment which is fit perfectly with it.

Here it is;

I will be giving this to my own mum this year.  I chose the papers to suit her as her last name is Bird and I have been desperate to use the birdcage and bird die from Joy Crafts that I got late last year and haven't had a chance to use.  She loves all my cards but I especially hope she loves this one.

I hope you will check out the other new release images, they are so lovely.  You can find them in the store here or have a look at what the other ladies have created with them here.

Thanks for dropping by.
Cheers Nicole

Inky Impressions Valentines/Love

Hi again,

Another card from me today. This time I have a beautiful Inky Impressions girl to show off, the image is called Sent With Love, isn't she fab. The theme this week is Valentines/Love perfect for this time of year, so we would really love to see your projects this week.

Here it is;

This beautiful girl reminded me of my daughter so I think I may give it to her for Valentines Day and make her feel special. I had fun colouring this image the stripe were good for practising my colouring. I used the fab Head over heels paper pad from Echo Park and I used these awesome new dies from Kaisercraft that I got the other day.

Thanks for dropping by, I hope that you are getting in plenty of crafting time and that you will join in with us this week.

Cheers Nicole

Penny's Challenge 214

Hi there,

Sooo..... I would like to introduce my Mother in Law and her best friend to you all. Sorry just kidding, well sort of. When I got to choose my image for this week I saw this one from Sparkle n Sprinkle and instantly thought of them. I hope it will make them laugh (fingers crossed).

Here it is;

This weeks theme at Penny's is Embossing so I have used a wood grain embossing folder to kind of go along with the old theme of the card. The sentiment came with this image and is perfect for them.

I hope you like my card this week, I felt I needed to make a fun feeling card to perk me up.

Thanks for dropping by,

Cheers Nicole

Penny's Challenge 213

Hi there,

It has been a while since I have posted a card for Penny's. I have had a lovely break with my kids while they were on their Summer Holidays but they went back to school the other day so it is time to get back into it. :) Today's card is using another super cute Bugaboo image and the theme this week is  Use your favourite card fold or technique. I have to admit that my fav card fold is the traditional tent fold but I thought I would have a go at something a little different.

Here it is;

I quite like how this card turned out, quite simple but fairly striking. I haven't put a sentiment on the pot as I am not sure what I will use it for just yet, it could be used for anything really.

Thanks for dropping by.

Inky Impressions Glitter and Gloss

Hello lovely people,

Oh my goodness it is sooo hot here. I hope any Aussie friends had a fabulous Australia Day and that you enjoy my make for this week. I have a super fun card for you today with an Australia Day theme. My Sister In Laws birthday is on Australia Day so when I saw this stamp in the shop I just knew I had to make her birthday card with it. I have used Flag Lili -Australia, she is also available in other designs too.

Here she is;

I have also used Party Time circle sentiment which is so versatile, I will be using this many times. She is coloured with Copic's and the paper is from an Echo Park Christmas pad. I have kept it quite simple with just a few die cuts and an embossed background.

My Sister In Law loved it so I hope you like it too.

Happy crafting everyone

Nicole

Inky Impressions January Release

Hello again,

We have some fabulous images to share with you today from the January New Release at Inky Impressions.  I got to play with a super cute Lili image called Lili Blowing Bubbles.  The other images are just as good and are so fun, you can check them out here.

Here she is;

I have also used the All My Love ticket sentiment as I thought it looked like she was blowing little bubbles of love. I have coloured her with Copic's and teamed her up with Echo Park papers.  I hope you like her as much as I do.  I would love for you to check out what the rest of the team have created with the new release, you can do that here.

Inky Impressions Monochrome Challenge

Hi there,

Wow it has been 4 weeks since my last post, I can't believe it. I have had some lovely time off with the family over the Christmas/Summer break but it's back to work for me and back to my regular crafting routine. Today I am showing you my creation for this weeks Monochrome Challenge at Inky Impressions. I usually find Monochrome difficult but this time it seemed to flow together and I had in making this. I am quite pleased with how it turned out.

Here it is;

I just love this image, it is Butterfly Lili and the sentiment can be found in the shop also. I have coloured with my Copics and I went with a different green combo this time of G00, G02 and G17. I quite like the result, it is a nice fresh colour. The papers I used are from the Echo Park Sweet Day paper pad and the lovely tree die is a new one for me from Spellbinders, I am now in love with it. The little corner flourish is also new and from Spellbinders as well.

I would love to enter the following challenges;
