INK STAMP SHARE BLOG HOP APRIL, 2022

Welcome to this months Blog Hop with the Ink Stamp Share Group, we have a colour challenge this month.

The colours we were given are Melon Mambo, So Saffron & Granny Apple Green, three colours I find go well with black

For this card I took advantage of using one of my favourite stamp sets Tasteful Touches which is sadly retiring shortly.

I cut a Stitched Rectangle in each of the colours and using the Stamparatus to ensure the feathers were positioned correctly I used Versamark Ink to stamp and then embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I do like the result.

If you have any questions contact me at sueallensimplycraft@bigpond.com.

Thank you for stopping by, now onto the rest of the hop to be inspired, enjoy.<!-

COLOUR COMBO BLOG HOP APRIL, 2022

Welcome to this months Colour Combo Blog Hop, I found the colours this month challenging so I can't wait to see what the other taking part will come up with, they are a very talented group.

Why was it challenging? Shaded Spruce, Garden Green & Sahara Sand are the colours, however using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set I did manage to put something together.

The card base is Very Vanilla Thick which I scored the front at 1.4" intervals to give texture and some interest.

I used the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch after stamping the images, the sentiment is from the Days To Remember stamp set.

STAMPING INKSPIRATIONS BLOG HOP APRIL, 2022

Welcome to my part of this month's Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop, our theme this month is Fun Folds.

There are so many to chose from and it had to be simple so I settled for this, unfortunately I have no idea what it is called or where I first saw it. But I thought it suited this little fellow.
