My Crafty Round Up

 


Hello friends.  I am posting my creations from the long weekend on a Tuesday because I ran out of time yesterday.  I guess the long weekend was not long enough.

First up is a card for Ink to Paper: What Do I Do With This:  Stencil Blended Background Challenge.  I used the Papertrey Balloon Stencil to blend a rainbow of balloons on to my card front.  It doesn't show in the photo, but I covered all the balloons with a generous layer of Wink of Stella.  I used a die cut and fussy cut sentiment strip to add my sentiment to the background.  I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #240: Hot Air Balloon (rainbow balloon inspiration), and The Rainbow Card Challenge #30: Radically Rainbow.









Next up is another card inspired by an Ink to Paper challenge--this one is the Great Cover Up Challenge to just use white cardstock.  I took a piece of white card stock and completely covered it with Distress Oxide inks--Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Shabby Shutters.  I blended until I had a really nice green ombre look, and then I die cut that panel with the In The Woods Cover plate.  I glued that onto a white card base, and stamped a birthday sentiment from Pen and Ink.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to CAS #198: Ombre.









My next card was inspired by the color challenge at Inky Paws #149 and Less is More #444: Favorite Technique (Copic Coloring).  I am such a fan of the Newton's Nook Holding Happiness stamps, and pull them out quite often.  I love how versatile they are.  I have had these stamps for at least 2 years, so am entering this card at Retro Rubber #159: Anything Goes, and Addicted to Stamps and More #406: Make Your Mark.







Last up is a pair of Father's Day cards that I will be entering at Stay Crafty with Hero Arts #23: Fun in the Sun and Cupcake Inspirations #520: Father's Day or Masculine.  I used the My Monthly Hero kit from December 2020 for these cards.  I am also entering this first card at The Male Room #150: Water/Beach.
















Thanks for Visiting

  11. Your balloon card is perfectly CAS and rainbow! (I was thinking you could have added your reflection cards to Inkspirational, but this one is even better for it!) I can see the shimmer on the purple balloon! Your ink-blended cover die cut does show why it's sometimes worth doing our own blending. ;) Love the big gift one layer card! Finally, the HA cards... swoon! And thanks for joining us at Inkspirational. :)
