Ink & Inspiration - April

Check out these fabulous colours for this months Ink and Inspiration blog hop!  I wasn't sure how I would use them all together without them competing for top spot.  So I went minimalistic with loads of white space!

I uses the dies from Flowers of Home set that can be seen online HERE.   I love how dainty they come out and are the perfect curve to form a wreath.  

I also cut the flower elements from this die set, using water and ink to watercolour them in some of the colours from the inspiration image.  

Lastly I used my label die from the Potted Succulent set.  I've added gemstones (coloured in Misty Moonlight with my Stampin Blends), some dots using Stampin Blends as well to finish it off.  

Don't forget to jump over to the other blogs for more inspiration :) 

Happy Stamping,

August Ink and Inspiration - clean and simple

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Rachael Merrick from Australia. I hope you enjoy my Clean and Simple project.

I decided, with Fathers Day just around the corner, to use the Hats Off Stamp set to create this simple and VERY FAST card. 

I stamped the hat directly onto the Granny Apple Green Cardstock then stamped the DAD element onto some Pumpkin Pie DSP before hand cutting it with scissors.

Finally, I used Pacific Point to stamp the sentiment onto Basic White and cut it then matted it with Basic Black.  I added dimensional dots to the DAD element and used Soft Seafoam light Stampin Blend to fill in some 'shadow' onto the hat which is really subtle when dry.  

I hope the projects you've seen here on my blog today have inspired you & brightened your day.
