Cards for Classes in May

Hi Everyone,
Wow isn't the year travelling fast!! Tomorrow is May, so here are the cards I'll be teaching in my classes, The dates are: Wednesday 3rd May 10.30am (meant to be in Bendigo, but the venue we usually use is unavailable, so it will be in my classroom for those who fancy the trip out), Saturday 6th May in Maryborough at 10am, and Wednesday 10th May at 7.30pm (my classroom in Laanecoorie)  Do let me know if you'd like to join in any of the classes :)
first card uses the Watercolour Wings Stamp set, and the Bold Butterfly Framelits (on the retiring list), if you have the stamp set, but not the framelits, I recommend that you get on and purchase them quickly before they run out!

Next up is this pretty flower from "You've Got This" stamp set, also a peek at one of the new In Colours, Lemon Lime Twist!, I think it looks so fresh, and a bit of Clear Wink of Stella over the flower

I thought I should use up some of my favourite Designer Series Paper before it's no longer available, and eek I've just checked it and it's on the low inventory list :(  So saying goodbye to Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper

thankfully the Garden in Bloom Stamp set I've used is continuing as is the Best Badge Punch, you probably won't be able to tell from the above photo, but I've used another one of the new In Colours in the stamped leaves (Tranquil tide).

And last card, I just HAD to use the brand new Eastern Palace Suite, as it will be available for customers to purchase, as a suite from 1st May to the 31st May, then in the new annual catalogue as individual items, this showcases the 3rd new In Colour Fresh Fig  (these 3 new In Colours are in the Eastern Palace Suite) Oh my goodness this suite has so many uses!

Anyway, that's it for now, I hope you can make it to one of my classes, if not, I hope this has inspired you to create!
Don't forget if you're ordering to use my current open hostess code: 7R4QTZMQ to go into the draw to receive the hostess benefits. (unless you're in my craft@home group in which case use the code I email you)

God Bless love

Hi Everyone,

Well, there is a new Challenge over on the INKspiration Facebook Page!  As my aim is to join in with as many as possible, I had a spare moment or two today, so here we are!

I have an aim to go through all my stamp sets and use them all my at least twice!, as I'm finding that  a lot of them I used heaps when I first got them, and now they've made their way to the bottom of the pile, and kind of get forgotten about, in preference of the new and shiny!  I still love this stamp set "Garden in Bloom" though!

Oh I'd better tell you what the challenge is!
So the challenge is to use these colours: Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky, Mint Macaron, Whisper White and Garden Green. 

My plan was to watercolour on shimmery white cardstock, umm didn't go so well!  So instead I watercoloured on watercolour paper, used the Decorative Label Punch for the saying, and created this:

 

which I like, but as I'd also used Stazon black and the new gorgeous Sale-a-Bration silver ribbon, I thought I'd better have another go (and in keeping with my use the stamp set twice thing......) Hence the fact the other card is shown first on this post!  ironically I think the top card (stamped) looks more watercoloured than this one which really is watercoloured - lol!  

What do you think and which is your favourite?  Feel free to head on over to the INKspiration facebook page, and check out what others have been making, even pop in an entry yourself if you feel like it, it's open to anyone 😊

Well that's it from me today, I hope I've inspired you to create :)

God Bless love
