Inspirational #134 ~ Just Wing it (Red Rubber Inspirationals DT)

    Happy Thursday! It's time for another stamping challenge at Red Rubber Inspirationals! I'm hosting this week with Inspirational #134 ~ Just Wing It. All you need to do is create a project with any kind or brand of stamp that has an image of wings, such as a butterfly, bird, dragonfly, airplane, angel, etc. Or just add stamped wings to something or someone. Here's a tag that I made with some stamps from Red Rubber Designs.

    I started by creating the lattice using Vintage Background stamped with gesso onto white cardstock. After it dried, I applied a few different Distress Inks, and used a Q-tip, dipped in water, to make clouds. The bird was stamped using Hope Perches, and the butterfly and sentiment with Beautiful Soul. I used Distress Inks to color in "soul", and then applied glossy accents for some shine and dimension. The butterfly was also colored with Distress Inks and a gold pen. I used some small beads for the flower in her hair, and folded her wings out.

Thanks for your visit!

Inspirational #114 ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

Inspirational #114  is all about Spring, hosted this week by Kendra for Red Rubber Inspirationals. I had fun making this Spring card with some stamps, gesso, mists, and a branch cut from my Cricut Expression (Serenade cartridge).

   I started by misting some light blue cardstock with It's brown, Copper, and Harvest Orange Glimmer Mists.Then I masked the doily with some gesso. Other than the branch and nest, everything else was stamped, starting with the background kraft cardstock with Background Soup stamped around the edges. I used the All things of nature stamp set for the bird on the branch and the eggs. I colored the eggs with Distress Ink (antique linen) and Versa Magic Ink (aquatic splash). The birds that are flying are from the Hope Perches stamp set, and the flowers were stamped from the Blossom Builders set, which can all be found at Red Rubber Designs for really great prices.

    My design inspiration came from this fabulous sketch #96 @ Cardabilities.

Inspirational #109 ~ Heartfelt Thanks

Here's the sample card that I made for Inspirational #109 hosted by Mary Anne, to make a thank you card. It was perfect timing as I needed to make one anyways for my in laws.

I started with some kraft cardstock, and a tag and papers from the Willoughby collection. I inked the kraft paper with Distress Inks (crushed olive and frayed burlap), and then used victorian vines on it with Palette Ink (burnt umber). On the tag I used savvy sayings, speckle background, and hope perches. The flowers were stamped and layered using medallions and Palette Ink (burnt umber), then colored with Memento (lady bug). I finished it off with machine stitching and these buttons that I inherited from my husband's Grandmother.
