Amber Ink - Passing of the Torch

I can't believe it's that time already.  It seems like I just joined the amazing team at Amber Ink, but it's time for me to pass my Amber Ink Torch on to the next person. 

The torch for Amber Ink's Orange Team was passed to me from Cheryl Gorka of She Stamps by Cheryl.  Cheryl's projects are always beautiful.  If you haven't visited her blog, you really need to check it out.  She is amazingly talented!  Thank you, Cheryl, for choosing me to carry the torch. 

I'm excited to announce that I'm passing my Amber Ink Orange Torch to the mega-talented Michele Greenwood (aka Mary Poppins) of Whimsical Creations.  Michele does beautiful work, so please be sure to stop by and check out her blog.  I know she will impress all of you as she carries the Orange Team Torch for the next month.

Here are all the hand-offs of the Amber Ink Torches:

The Blue Torch is being passed by the lovely Amy Everson to Cathy Weber of Empty Nest Crafter

The Orange Torch is being passed by me (Anita Madden) to Michele Greenwood of Whimsical Creations

The Pink Torch is being passed by the fantastic Mandi Moore to Anne Cullen of Craftyanny's Koolkardz

The Brown Torch is being passed by the incredible Tammy Hellstern to Katie Kahl of Katie's Scrappy Place

The Purple Torch is being passed by the wonderful Jana Weaver to Jane Matsumoto of Whoopsie Daisy

Here's a recap of my Amber Ink projects for the past month.  You can get a better view here.

Thank you Amber and Pam, for allowing me to be a part of the Amber Ink (th)Ink Tank!

Amber Ink

Hello friends.  I have an Amber Ink card to share with you.  This is my last project as the Orange Amber Ink Torchbearer.  It's been such a fun month, and an honor to carry the torch!

I used Saying - I Think You're A Fungi for my card.  Don't you just love this image and sentiment?  I tell you, that Amber has a great sense of humour!  I used copics and colored pencils to color the image.  I added some twine and a button, and then used a Tim Holtz ticket to finish it off.  I used Linen Closet papers from DCWV ... hope they're not too girly but I really like these papers and seldom get to use them.  Anyway, if I give to this to my hubby, he won't care whether the paper has flowers.  Hey, at least I resisted the urge to add glitter to the hearts lol!

Thank you for stopping by.  Please stop by tomorrow as I'll have another card to share with you.

Amber Ink Easter

Good morning to all of you!  I have a new project to share this morning using an Amber Ink image.

 

Amber Ink is sponsoring the challenge this week over on The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge and their theme this week is Easter.   I used "Curious Lovebunny" on my card today.  I used Prismacolor pencils to add some grey shading.  I added Fluffy Stuff to his tail and heat-set it with my embossing tool.  My papers are digi papers from Amber and they're called "Tiny Heart Carrots".   You can find all the fantastic Amber Ink products here.  Please be sure to stop by The Sisterhood of Crafters Challene Blog to see what their amazing team has created this week.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you find time to visit again later today as I'll have something else to share with you.

Happy Thursday!  I have a new Amber Ink project to share with you today.

This image is called Wee Bee Pollinatin' and I colored it with my copics and colored pencils.  I added a little bit of stickles to the flower center.  I added some ribbon, a bow and a button.  A very quick and easy card.  Amber Ink has amazing images to choose from and she carries both digis and clear stamps.  She also has digi papers.  You can check out the shop here.  And for even more inspiration, check out the Amber Ink.lings Blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Amber Ink - Get Sketchy

Good morning to all of you.  It's Wednesday so that means we're halfway to the weekend ... yeah!  This week Amber Ink is the sponsor over at the  Get Sketchy Challenge Blog.

I used Amber Ink's Wee Bee Pollinating and Bee Mine Saying for my card today.  I colored the image with copics and colored pencils and added a little touch of StarDust stickles to the small bee's wings and the heart.  This was such a fun and easy card to make.  You can find all the Amber Ink images here.   I'm entering my card in the  Get Sketchy challenge this week and I hope you find some time to play along with us.

You Set My Heart A Flutter

       Please scroll down to view my earlier LCI post

Hello friends and thanks for stopping by.  Today I get to share my very first Amber Ink project with you. 

I used "You set my heart a flutter" and colored it using my copics and colored pencils.  I added some Glamour Dust to the heart and butterfly, and added a bit of ribbon to finish it off.  This image was so easy and fun to color.  I can see using this image for Valentine's Day, an anniversary card, or to make a card for that "special" someone in your life.
