Well goodness me you all seem
to be having an Inky time over at
40 entries already with another week still to play.
Here is some more inspiration .
I have been taking an online
Stamping Colour Techniques class
by Laura Bassen
and this is a technique using masking tape.
I've used different colours and added the butterfly
to my card.
This is very CAS for me and out of my comfort zone.
I really wanted the butterfly to be 2 of the band
colours but didn't want to make a fussy cut
addition to the card so in the end I came up with
inking a circle onto the card just large enough to take
the stamp which is by Stamplorations from their
Artful Flutters set.
Colours were created using Versa Magic Dew Drops
in Wheat, Pink Petunia & Perfect Plumeria.
Wording was from Stamplorations
'Trendy Butterflies'
The black dots were punched from a snippet
of shinny black sticky plastic.

My 2nd Inspiration card
has me tackling another Nemesis
namely my Brayer!
I used a selection of inks to create
the brayered background, a masked
circle to make the moon and torn paper
to create the hills.
Stamps used are from
Lavinia stamps 'Butterrflies'
Woodware 'Plant and Meadow - mini'
I adhered the panel to a digi paper
from Pink Petticoat called 'Biscotti'
which matched my moon perfectly.
Base card was made using blue cardstock.

It's good to try something out of our comfort zone every now and then. Both of your cards are brilliant and such great use of the inks.
Both cards are gorgeous. I too just love playing with inks. Hugs, Veerle

Well done you, great job on both the new techniques.
I have never tried a brayer because I know I would never master it but for those who can it produces some stunning effects.
