Think ink #39

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to think ink...use lots of ink and no colouring...I inked the background on this card and then the edges...I inked the birds and then did some antiquing on them...then came the ink splatters...so hard to not colour them in, but I followed the rules LOL...play along with us, will you?

A Chip off the old block #38


This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use up some of your stash of chipboard.  I have these pieces that I just had to buy (they were on clearance for a quarter per package and I just had to have them) and have never ever used....well today I inked up this one and made a cute little gift tag card with it...play along with us this week, okay?

you stamped with what?? #37



This week's challenge at shopping our stash is called you stamped with what??? The challenge is to use something unusual to stamp with that would not normally be used for stamping or crafting, so needless to say, I went back to my crafting beginnings and grabbed a little potato.  I carved it into a cloud shape and made my background with it by dipping it in white paint and then clear embossing it to make it dry quicker....play along with us, will you?

April fools - #35

The challenge this week for Shopping our Stash is to do a faux technique in honour of April fools - no fooling - I chose to do the faux dry embossing technique with this card - where you die cut white on white to make it look like the items are embossed...not sure if that it the look that was achieved, but I do like the look of the card either way...play along with us, will you?
