My first card is for the Inkspirational Challenge 197 which has given us the following inspiration for our card.
I wanted to use some new Visible Image stamps I've got called Imagine Dream Inspire which are such great inspirational word stamps. I started off my card by inking with some Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers. I then used a stamp from SU's Jar of Love - the little fish, and inked him in Stormy Sky. I then used a dot stamp from SU's Painter's Palette and inked it in an old SU ink called Spectrum stampin pad which has a combination of 5 inks colours. I don't know why they haven't brought out more of these - they are great for combining colours. I then stamped the Imagine word in Hero Arts Intense Black ink and layered it onto some shiny SU paper.
My second card is for another two challenges :
Less Is More -
Allsorts - Spots
I've again used the Visible Image stamp set but a different word stamp - I used the same dots and inks to create the background and simply stamped the word stamp over and then cut it out with a stitched framelit. This is seriously CAS for me but I think it's quite striking!
