Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team Call

It is that time again. Inky Impressions is having their 2nd Design Team call.

They are looking for enthusiastic, friendly and talented stampers to help promote their products and to provide inspiration to the stamping community through your personal blog and online galleries.

This call is open to everyone!! If you applied for their 1st DT call, please feel free to reapply!!

You are not required to use Inky Impressions stamps for your submissions but it’s a plus if you do. All submissions must be received by August 3, 2009 by midnight (12:00 a.m.) Eastern Time and the new Design Team will be announced the week of August 9, 2009.

Here's what you have to do:

Create a post on your blog with the title "Inky Impressions 2nd Design Team Call" and include one of your favorite cards and one of your favorite non-card projects, using images that require colouring. Your colouring ability is very important. After you have created your Inky DT Call post, link your post using Mr Linky on the Inky Impressions Blog . They would LOVE to see your creations using Inky Impressions rubber stamps but it is not required.

I don't have any Inky Impressions stamps (yet!!), so here are my two favourite projects for the submission using stamps by other stamp companies. Obviously, regular visitors to my blog will recognise these projects:

For my card I've chosen a project entitled "Edwin the Lion Keeper", which I created using Magnolia stamps coloured with Copic Markers.

Here are a couple of close ups to show the colouring in more detail.

For my non-card project I've chosen "Scaredy Cats", which is a bag I made following a template. For this project I used a Stampavie Stamp and I coloured it with pencil crayons blended using Sansodor and paper stumps.

Again, here's a close up of the coloured image.

I would like to thank the team at Inky Impressions for considering my application.

If you have time please browse the rest of my blog to see more of my creations.

Scaredy Cats!!

Hi - Here I am with a 2nd post today!!! Please scroll down to see today's earlier post.

I have my entry for Stampavie Challenge #9 "A bag by Lauren M"

Here's my bag.

I used Stampavie's "You Go First" stamp. These cats are so cute and look as if they might be getting up to mischief - just like my two, Thomas & Pablo!!!

I stamped the image onto plain white card stock using Memento Black Ink. I then coloured it using pencil crayons, which I blended using Sansodor and paper stumps. This is the first time I've used this technique!

I used an animal print card stock from my stash to make the bag and followed the tutorial, which you can find on Lauren's blog.

The flowers are Papermania and Prima. The brad is from my stash.

Thanks for dropping by, hope you like it.

Bring a Bottle!

Hi

Today's card is for the Friday Sketchers Challenge, which this week is sponsored by Shimmerz. This week's fab sketch by Jacque:
Here's what I've made...

I used the Magnolia "Tilda with Wine and Basket" stamp and coloured, as usual, with my Copics.

I used some adhesive gems for her buttons and a little Stickles for her wing.

The papers are printed from my computer, but I cannot remember where I found them originally.

The flowers are by Prima and the adhesive pearls in the centre are from my stash.

Hope you like it.

Cupcake Anyone?

Hi

Today's card is for the Just Magnolia Challenge. This week they have a fabulous sketch by Tab to follow:

 

 

Here's what I made...

  

I used the Magnolia "Love Muffin" stamp from the Love 2009 Collection.

 

I stamped the image onto Manga Art Board using Black Memento Ink and coloured it in with my Copics. I cut it out and mounted it onto some pink Coordination Whitewash card stock. The "Cupcake" Sentiment is from Alota Rubber Stamps and I stamped it onto the reverse of a piece of the pink Whitewash card.

 

The papers I used are from the Papermania Blueberry Hill paper pack and, to give some definition, I inked the edges with a little Ranger Distressed Ink in Worn Lipstick. The ribbon and little flowers are from my stash.

 

Thanks for dropping by - I hope you like it.

Please Help Me !!!

Hi

I am interested in purchasing the Imagepac Daylight System for creating my own stamps. However, before spending such a large amount of my hard earned money, I wondered whether anyone out there has experience of this system, or knows somebody who has experience.

Is it worth the money?

Is it easy to use?

Is the final result worthwhile?

Also, are there any other systems available that you would recommend instead of this one?

If you can, please help!!!

Sketch and Stash Challenge 15

Hi

Today I have a card that I made for Edward's friend's Birthday. I followed the sketch over on the Sketch and Stash Challenge Blog .

 

I rotated the sketch...

 

I used Magnolia's "Tilda in Stripped Tights" stamp.

I stamped Tilda using black Memento Ink onto Manga Art Board and coloured her with my Copic Markers.

Here's a close up...

  

The papers & dark red card are from my stash, I know they are Basic Grey, but I'm not sure of which collection they are from!!!

 

The little flowers and adhesive gems are also from my stash.

Thanks for dropping by to take a look, hope you like it.
