Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge #50

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #050, which is a sketch challenge.


For Challenge #050 I have been inspired by a gift decorated and given to me by Louise Sharp. The Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper with its coordinating Bird Ballard Tin containing 12 laser cut cards and envelopes is to die for.







I have actually snipped the centre out of a laser-cut card to create my card but the cards come as complete cards ready for your finishing touches. I am aiming to sit down and complete my cards over the weekend. Fingers crossed. 



  
This is the gorgeous tin I was lucky enough to receive from Louise.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #049


Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #049.
Challenge #049 is a Colour Challenge using Basic Gray, Mango Melody and Pool Party. For my challenge card I have used the very cute stamp set We'll Walrus be Friends combined with the High Seas Embossing Folder. To colour my walrus image I have combined my Stamp' Blends (Mango Melody and Pool Party) and my Basic Gray Watercolor Pencil to produce the challenge colours.
For my background I inked up my Embossing Folder and ran it through my embossing machine. 



This weekend I am looking forward to be attending a craft retreat called 'Fiesta By the Sea' organised by the lovely Louise Sharp. I have created 30 gift boxes for the event as my swaps.  Also using the We'll Walrus be Friends stamp set. 



 Of course I had to add some shell shaped chocolate treats to go with the theme.
