Inspired!

Happy Friday Friends!

Wow!! It seemed this short work week went so quick, which is a good thing... That means the weekend is here once again!  Do you have any fun plans?  We are hoping to accomplish what we did not accomplish last week.  We also have a cookout on Saturday evening to spend some time with family.  I am really looking forward to that.

Anyhow, I was feeling a bit like inking this week.  The sun has been shining and I wanted to play with some bright colors.  So I used Silhouette Clear Stamps -Trees & Flowers with
Clear Embossing to do an embossing resist technique.  It is super simple!  Just use the clear embossing ink and your stamp on white paper.  Then cover with embossing powder (clear), remove any excess powder and heat.  Once the embossing is done, you can apply distress inks and it will not stick to the embossed image.  I used several colors listed below to give it some variety.  Once finished inking, I tied some ribbon and Lawn Fawn Pink Lemonade Single Cord Hemp Twine with a charm that says "Inspired".  I hope you have been inspired to create something today!

Perspective - Loves Rubberstamps Weekly Challenge

Hello Friends -
Today, I am back with another challenge from  Loves Rubberstamps!  This is everyone's favorite..... the first of the month...... do you know what the challenge will be?  It's Anything Goes!  

Our sponsor this week is Shape Ez !

I decided not to use a copic colored image this week.  I wanted to play with my inks and see what I could come up with.  This could be a spooky Halloween card or a simple Hello card.  I thought the sentiment on the inside went perfectly with the images. "Sometimes it helps to look at things from a DIFFERENT perspective.  This has been so true lately and I keep reminding myself to think differently!  

Supplies used:

Memento - Tuxedo Black

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Rusty Hinge

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Gathered Twigs

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot
