be mine

 hello crafters!

I saw the latest challenge at inkspirational where they ask for us to use stencils and as an optional twist, plaid! I don't know about you but when I think of plaid I always think of wooly jumpers and scarves - the hand knitted kind. I may be way off track, but I went with it anyway :) I'm also joining in with the ladies at just add ink where they also ask for stencils and/or die cuts. 

The background was die cut from an ink blended panel with Hero Arts infinity rectangles, then stencilled with Stamperia lines. Over the top, a hearts stencil from Simon Hurley was used with Versamark and heat embossed with white. The MFT little sheep was stamped, die cut and paper pieced with plaid wool :) The Gummiapan llama was stamped, die cut and the scarf was paper pieced with the same plaid.  Don't they make an adorable couple? I couldn't resist sticking with the wooly theme and using the MFT sentiment from the same set.

Thanks for stopping by today and spending some time with me!

   

happy birthday

 hello crafters!

I came across the just add ink challenge which I haven't entered before I don't think. They have a great sketch challenge this week, so thought I'd join in!

I used a paper piece of wood texture from my stash which was black and white, so I ink blended it with a grey blue. A square was made up from 1" die cuts of design paper, which were adhered together then embossed with a random circle embossing folder to make it look like quilting. The circle theme was echoed with the die cut word circles and chocolate brown circle. Lastly I added little die cuts from my stash and stamped a sentiment to match.

Thanks for stopping by today :)
