Baby Drum

Good morning all!

It's been ages since I've shared a Just Inklined 

card with you but I have one to share today!

I was asked to make a card with a teddy, for a first grandchild.

The image I have used is Baby Drum.

I've coloured the image using a mix of flexmarkers & promarkers.

The papers are from Southfield Stationers

The sentiment was made on my pc.

The heart border was made using a Martha Stewart punch.

Here's a closer look at the image.

Isn't he just a total cutie?

Thanks for looking!

Leave me a comment & I'll visit your blog too!

Happy Chinese New Year

Good Morning all,

I'm back with another card to share with you!

This one is for Chinese New Year!

So to everyone who celebrates,

"Gong Hay Fat Choy!"

I'm hoping it's okay as I normally use traditional red & gold but

I just really wanted to play with these colours this time!

2015 is the Year of the Sheep (or Goat) & I thought this little pair

Black & White Sheep from Just Inklined were perfect!

Even better, you can pick them up for free at the moment!

I used my promarkers to shade them a little, then cut out with a Spellbinders  

die then inked with distress ink whilst still in the die.

The sentiment was done on the PC.

The gorgeous papers came my way when a DT friend Sammy, was having a 

blog candy giveaway, so I'm sorry I can't tell you where they are from!

I finished off the card with three buttons from my stash.

I didn't have time to decorate the inside as I wanted to catch the light,

but I have done so now!

Thanks for popping by, I hope you like my little creation!

Good morning all!

It's Thursday once again & almost the weekend!

So, it's time for my Just Inklined card for this week!

The image is one of my favourite favourites

Petticoats Three

I used a shaped card blank from Craftwork Cards as the base then

paper from the First Edition "Bo Ho Chic" pad.

I felt it had a vintagey shabby chic feel to it.

I changed the colour of the image in word, then

shaded with a "Linen" Flexmarker. It doesn't show up too well

in the photo but I wanted to keep the colour muted.

The image is matted on to the reverse of the DP

The sentiment is one I've had forever & was from Sentiments 4 You

I added a panel of DP which was edged with a Martha Stewart

 Doily Punch. I added some button twine, lace, flowers & a big

vintage button from my stash!

The inside of the card is decorated too!

Albert

Good morning lovelies,

It's Thursday again which means it's time for my

 Just Inklined card for this week.

I used the wonderful Albert to make an Anniversary card this time!

He's such a sweetie but I can see him as a bit of a Hell's Angel

in his younger days!

I opted for a Monochromatic theme for this card.

The papers I've used are from the Male Craft Pad from

Southfield Stationers

This sketch from The Sketch File 

was the inspiration for the layout of my card

I coloured Albert with my Flexmarkers, cut with a round Spellbinders Die

then inked with Old Photo Distress ink, whilst still in the die.

The sentiment is from LOTV, I stamped it with clear ink then

heat embossed with Copper embossing powder.

The ribbon is upcycled from a top & the buttons are from my stash.

Thanks for popping in today, I love it when you do!

Good Morning all!

I'm sorry I've been a bit erratic with my posting & commenting lately but

but I do seem to be chasing my tail at times!

Anyhoo, enough of my prattle, on we go!

 It's Thursday which means it's time for my Just Inklined post!

Here's what I made this week!

This lovely image is Ballet Pointe

I used my Flexmarkers & Promarkers to colour.

The base card is 6x6 inch Linen Embossed card stock

The dottie card is from Anne Marie Designs & the pink is from 

American Crafts.The border was created with the

 Martha Stewart Doily Punch.

The lace is from my stash & is a blueish colour, not actually the 

grubby grey looking colour it appears in the photo! lol

The sentiment was created on my PC using Sweetly Broken font.

The Blessing

Good Morning all!

It's Thursday already! How's your week been?

A good one I hope!

So, it's time for me to share a Just Inklined card with you!

This time, I've made a little sympathy card.

I always find them a challenge to make.

The gorgeous image I have used is called 

The Blessing

.I think it's just perfect for such an occasion but would also be 

suitable for other religious occassions such as 

Christenings, Confimations, Wedding Blessings etc.

I made the sentiment on my PC using a free font called

Sweetly Broken 

Here's a closer look at the image, coloured up with my promarkers

 & inked with Milled Lavender Distress Ink.

I've used a Cuttlebug Script embossing folder for the white mat.

I did brush over it with the distress ink but it doesn't

show up at all in the photos!

I also added a little piece of satin ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for the visit, leave me some love & I will

try to visit you & do the same!

He looked a bit intimidating so I put him behind a fence to contain him!

then cut out with a  Spellbinders Circle Nestability die and inked with

 Black Soot Distress Ink.

week off to take in all the sights sounds smells & all the action of the 

Edinburgh Festival Fringe!

It's also time for me to post a card for Just Inklined lol

Here's what I made this week!

The image I've used is Wedding Carriage, one of my fav wedding images.

I've used it on a variety of wedding cards, all different styles

I always wonder where the happy couple are off to on Honeymoon!

I coloured the image a little with some Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

The die cut & distress inked while still in the die!

I distressed the edges with a pair of serrated scissors.

 I've used Paisley Patterened papers from American Crafts

& added a strip of lace from my stash.

I also tied a bow with the lace & sewed on a pearly green button.

The button is just gorgeous in real life, but it hasn't shown up so well in my photo!

The gorgeous, love words, were cut using a Memory Box Die.

I also cut a little border with a Spellbinders die!

Seaside Anchor

Good morning all!

How time flies, it's Thursday already!

Time for this weeks Just Inklined card !

I've made a Beachy type card! The image I have used is

Seaside Anchor 

a perfect image for a male or perhaps just a beach lover.

So many occasions spring to mind.....

I used a Kraft base with a strip of corrugated card in the same colour.

Some gauze, raffia, fish charms, an anchor charm & a little shell.

I coloured my image with promarkers. The sand was done with a distress

marker. I have only one, in Vintage Linen, but it worked perfectly for the sand!

The sky was Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

I popped up the image on some foam tape.

The usual side view to finish!

Hope you like it! Thanks for hopping by!
