Love for inking continues...

I am back after hibernating for the weekend :) The weekends are busy for me with family, friends, movies and Monday kick starts with a lot of creativity. I made two cards today for different challenges but the use of inking technique is common in both the cards

My first card was inspired by the colors at Dynamic Duos #63 which remind me of the beautiful greenscape, the Sketch at Annabelle Stamps Blog AC 168 and use of Kraft and Twine at CAS on Sunday #13. 

To make this card, I cut out a landscape like shape on a scratch paper to do my masking and inking (using Memento Dew drop dye inks) on a white panel. The trees were made using Nestabilities oval dies and inked with sponge daubers. The tree trunk was fuzzy cut on a kraft paper. The card base was embossed using a wood Embossing folder from Darice. The bird and the sentiment were stamped (from Prima Stamp set) and finally button, twine (from American Crafts) was added.

The challenges are -

1. Dynamic Duos #63 

2. Annabelle Stamps Blog AC 168

3. CAS on Sunday #13 -KRAFT AND TWINE

Now my second card, this was inspired by the photo inspiration at Addicted to Stamps and more Challenge #55 and Sketch at CAS Colors & Sketches # 35. 

To make this card I cut out a square panel using square swatch die from nestabilities on my card base. I stamped the leaf strip from (Studio-G iClear stamps) and also stamped the sentiment as per the sketch. I then inked horizontal lines by masking on a panel that will go behind the swatch. Then added embossed candles which were made using an embossing folder (from Darice) and embellished with foam stickers.

The challenges are 

1. Addicted to Stamps and more Challenge #55  

2. CAS Colors & Sketches # 35
