JUST ADD INK CHALLENGE #16

WOW!!! These colours were certainly a challenge for me this week, but I thought I would still play along after my big TOP PICK last week. Thanks to the girls over at JAI for the challenge this week.... I just about did my head in!!!LOL I should have been carted off in a padded van for the amount of attempts at this one. This is a variation on a card from some time ago but as Crazy for Cupcakes was about the only stamp set I hadn't used thought I would mix it up a bit. Next time I think I will just put the ink down and step away from the table!!!
Anyhoo I hope you like it even though I'm not 100%, but we are our own worst critics at times.







INGREDIENTS
STAMP SETS : Crazy for Cupcakes & Baroque Motif
CARDSTOCK : As per challenge except Ruby Red substituted with Riding Hood Red as none in my stash.
INK : As above & Stazon
PUNCHES : Scallop Edge
RIBBON : Riding Hood Red Stripe
MISC : Stampin Dimensionals, Crystal Effects & Dazzling Diamonds
Thanks for popping in and I love reading your comments
Have a great day

STAMP A STACK

I am back with my cards from my Stamp a stack I had with the girls on Saturday. Every 6 weeks we have heaps of fun, and it's amazing to see the girls talents with the variations on mine that they come up with. We did two boys cards and 3 different colours of the girls cards(that only came about cause I ran out of purple, really should check these things!!!). It was meant to be as the other colour combinations were nice to mix it up.

The Easter Bunny treat box was with Cameo Coral, Choc Chip and Whisper White, Walk in the Park DSP and punches. He was fun to do!!


The girls card I got the idea from the very talented Kirsty Brown (I had to remember it from retreat) using Crazy for Cupcakes. A big thanks to Madonna for the loan of her stamp sets.

INGREDIENTS
STAMP SET : Crazy for Cupcakes and Scribble This
CARDSTOCK : Green Galore/Pixie Pink, Elegant Eggplant/Orchid Opulence and another combo not shown was Cameo Coral/So saffron and Whisper White.
INK : same colours as above, Stazon, and Choc Chip, Real Red for the "cherry on top"
RIBBON : White Grosgrain dyed with stamp pads
PUNCHES : Scallop Edge
MISC : crystal effects, aqua painter, dazzling diamonds
The boys cards had to cover a range of ages so as well as Pun Fun, I thought Starring You is a great older boys set. I have just purchased Starring You and I just love it. A big thanks to Kirsty for the loan of Pun Fun for these cards. I do own many stamp sets, but after retreat playing with ones I haven't used, it was a bit hard to resist.

INGREDIENTS
STAMP SETS : Pun Fun, Starring You, Classic Stars Roller, Vintage Labels
CARDSTOCK : Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
INKS AND CHALKS : as above, Stazon
PUNCHES : Large Star and 1 3/8 circle
MISC : Aqua Painter, Hole Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
I really enjoyed this class with the girls and they had loads of fun as well. Next time I am going to take a group shot of their cards. None of them had water coloured before and even though I haven't done alot myself I was happy with the end result.
Thanks for popping in and have a great day
