Inkspirations Sketch Challenge # 4
Hey again!
I have had so much fun making my samples for this challenge today! Hopefully you like them too.
This week we are going to work with another sketch……these are fun and one of my favourite challenges.
So here is your sketch to work with:
And here is what I have created using the sketch:
I have been really hanging out to do some watercolouring lately, but just haven’t had the chance, so I really enjoyed making this card!
I have used the For Father stamp set from Stampin’Up, and watercoloured it with my aquapainter, and stamp pads. I also used the Sanded background with Chocolate ink onto Mustard cardstock. I added some twine, and jumbo eyelets for the embellishment.
I enjoyed the watercolouring so much, I had to keep going!
So I made this card using the Embrace life stamp set. The colours are Regal rose, Certainly celery, and Pretty in pink. I have used the Fine lace background stamp, onto the base cardstock with Regal rose ink. Next I scalloped edge punched the celery cardstock. I embellished with some glitter, white half pearls, and some Regal rose wide grosgrain ribbon.
Then lastly I made a scrapbook page:
This is a very simple page today.
I have used Blue bayou, So saffron and Soft sky for the cardstock colours. The base is rolled with the rough texture jumbo roller and bayou ink and I stamped some random star as well. I have paper pierced around the square of soft sky cardstock and tucked in two pieces of soft sky ribbon. Next I spiral punched the left hand edge of the cardstock, and finally added a strip of bayou cardstock with a row of saffron brads, and 3 stamped stars at the bottom which are from the In the stars stamp set from Stampin’Up.
So there you have my samples! I hope you have fun with this challenge and I really look forward to seeing your creations!
I will be back tommorrow to give you my scrapbook page

Enjoyed participating in this one!! Apologies for the first entry link not working (got a little carried away when I was typing in my blogspot address and accidentally added .au at the end!!)
Loved your examples for this challenge - think I may have to invest in a pretties kit when I do my next order.

Hi Keesh!
Hope the kids are surviving the first full week of school.
Not sure if my first entry is a bit too different from your sketch to count - I understand if it’s a bit out.
Have a great weekend,
