Ingenious Inkling

More Falliday Fest Fun

I've been having a blast trying new techniques at the SplitCoastStampers Falliday Fest.

The first one is created by wrapping cotton cord around an acrylic block and inking it with white ink and then pouncing on navy cardstock to create a snowstorm.

 

The stamps are from Honey Bee Stamps Let It Snow ... I love the die cut for the sentiment.

The next technique used the leftover paint-covered transparencies from my Dendritic Technique Card.  I attached it to a piece of Razzleberry cardstock ... love how the color shows through the paint.

To bring out the metallic gold paint on the transparency, I mounted it on a gold glitter card base.  I miss Hambly's transparencies.

Kindness

The September Mix-It-Up Challenge at Essentials by Ellen is with Honey Bee Stamps.

My card is CAS combining Kindness Stamps & Die Cuts from Honey Bee Stamps & Bold Blossoms Designer Dies from Essentials by Ellen in one of my favorite color combinations.

There are so many possible phrase combinations in the Kindness stamp set ... love that.

Happy Mail

When I saw the current inspiration photo at Inspired by All the Little Things, I went hunting for a scrap of wood *paper* I knew I had in my stash.

The picture also reminded me of this week's Freshly Made Sketch, so that is what I used for my layout.

I found my scrap of wood and cut it into three equal pieces.  I thought I could dye the wood using some Distress Ink Refill, which worked fabulously ... except after dying, nothing at all would stick to either the front or the back of the wood.  I finally got some foam tape to stick, so that's what I went with.

The stamps are from a cute little Happy Mail set from Honey Bee Stamps.  The colors are from this week's Color Throwdown.

I'm also joining the Color of Love Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

 

Thank You For Your Kindness

I just added my first stamps from Honey Bee Stamps to my collection ... I love the words in Kindness.

I combined it with Essentials by Ellen Bold Blooms for the November Mix-It-Up Challenge.

I was feeling like regal reds and purples tonight.

I added the coordinating Bold Blossom dies ... don't you just love that big bold kindness ... the world could use more big bold kindness.
