Inkadinkado Wine Cork Reindeer

This card design was used for our circle of couple friends, as we all like a party and the consumption of alcoholic beverages this seemed the perfect set to use. I was originally intending using the rest of the stamps but this reindeer was so cute I just used him.

I have been stamping the images with memento, colouring and then over stamnping with versa fine clair and I really like the bold black lines this effect gives. Of course you need to make sure the image is in exactly the same place each time or it can seriously upset your day lol.

Ingredients
Image and Sentiment: "making spirits bright" Inkadinkado
Dies: A2 stitched rectangle from MFT

Altenew Vintage Pink Roses

This card was inspired by this card by Kristina Werner, when the video was made I hadn't even bought the stamp set but I knew I wanted it. I decided on the Vintage roses rather than flowers as the roses had more sizes and layers in this set.

I decided to change her colour scheme though as I don't have any of the inks she used, I had recently watched a laura bassen video and she used her pti inks to stamp an altenew lily and I thought I wonder if I could achieve the same with mine and the roses.

There is a ton of masking on this simple card but it was worth it to see the end result, I have kept the masks so you never know I might even recreate it.

Wishing You Luck

One of my play day friends has just started a new job and I wanted to wish her well. This is my go to image for this occasion and I have used one of her favourite colours too.

I wanted to do a different background than just patterned papers so I cut a mask using crealies circle and inkadinkado masking paper then used the heidi swapp circle stencil to create a pattern, I don't have the matching SU ink but the MFT "tropical teal" is close enough.
