Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges: #160|Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #160. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have my favourite challenge a Sketch Challenge. 


I needed to create a birthday card for my Grandson and I wanted to step away from the usual football/sport inspired cards I usually make for him.

They have 2 very naughty, adorable Labrador very loved furry family members, so when I saw the new stamp Doggone Friendly in our new Mini Catalogue I thought that it really would make a fun card.
So I stamped 3 images of the Doggone Friendly background stamp. I then used one image as the background for my card, cut the 2 rectangular shapes from the next piece to replicate the challenge sketch, then fussy cut the doggies from the 3rd stamped image.
I have lined all the stamped images up with the background images and adhered them in place using Real Red Cardstock as bases for the black and white stamping. I then coloured a few of the stamped details with a Real Red  Stampin' Blends Pen.
Can you name all the dog breeds on the stamp?

Colour INKspiration Challenges #157

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar an Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I spotted the Colour INKspiration Challenges latest challenge on Facebook and thought how pretty. So I decided to join in this week.


The colours are Bubble Bath,
Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana and Orchid Oasis.

The Simply Sparkling Bundle is an Online Exclusive and I couldn't wait to have a play with it when Stampin' Up! first released it.



I played around with my Stampin' Blends to start with but I then decided on more subtle colours and water-coloured the images using the colour challenge colours.
My inspiration came from an advertisement for fruit drinks. Pictured below.
