Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges. Challenge130

Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week our challenge is a blank canvas.

I have submitted a card I made for my son's birthday. I always find it hard to come up with masculine card ideas. 

For this one I have created a gate card using an ombre effect to stamp the 'Happy' image from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight inks. Starting from the lightest and graduating down the stamp to the darkest shade I have applied the inks with Sponge Daubers.  Using my Stamparatus I have stamped the image 3 times once for each colour. Unfortunately the Designer Series Paper has retired but I liked the idea of the woodgrain background. 

For the inside of the card I have stamped the schooner glass of beer from the Brewed For You stamp set.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #056

Hello and welcome I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and thank you for joining me today for Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #056. Today's challenge is a sketch challenge.

  

To create my card I have used the masking technique and sponged the background in the colours Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Grapefruit Grove to create an ombre effect. I then stamped the images from the First Frost Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento.

For this card I have used the same technique but used varying strengths of blending in Early Espresso Ink to create the shaded effect.

Same again with Basic Grey and Smokey Slate Ink colours.
