Ingenious Inkling

Agraria Thank You

The site for this week's SplitCoastStampers Inspiration Challenge is Agraria San Francisco.  Agraria means "beautiful flowers growing in the fields" and is the name the founders chose for their original potpourri, which has expanded to include other delicious smelling products.

I chose their signature Bitter Orange Bath Salts and Bath Bar to inspire my design.

I started with metallic papers from DCWV Cranberry Christmas Collection.  I used a rectangle of silver paper to back my metallic bird and wrapped it in green ribbon like the bath bar.

I stamped my Poppy Stamps Hope and Thanks sentiment in Delicata Silver Ink and embossed with silver detail embossing powder.  I finished with a few silver sequins.

I'm also joining the Gratitude Theme Week at TGIF Challenge.

I hope you find inspiration.

Country Christmas

I was able to sneak in one more tag before heading to bed ... Feminine Tag #11 is a Country Theme.

I skipped this one because country isn't easy for me ... I'm more of a retro-mod kind of gal.  I went searching through my Christmas paper stash and found the Handmade Holiday papers from Simple Stores, and then the design came together quickly.

I used lots of different paper elements from the collection and finished with a few kraft stickers and PoppyStamps Frozen Flakes.

Blue Snowflake Christmas

We're playing a second round of tic-tac-toe at Jingle Belles this week.  This time I went vertical down the middle - Bling + Die Cut + Snow.

I tried out my new Poppy Stamps Frozen Flakes Die Cut on silver glitter paper ... love the detail.

Since the Addicted to CAS Challenge is Blue, that's what I chose for my color palette.  I added a Silver Doily, lots of tiny blue bling and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted Sentimental Type (love that set).
