Blinged out Sheriff - #CYCI47

Good morning!  Thanks for joining me here at Ink a Doodle Creations. Today I am over at Can You Case It? and we are ready to start this week off with a fresh new sketch challenge.  I hope everyone survived all the turkey eatin' and black Friday shopping.  Don't know about you, but boy, I need a nap!!  Shopping and getting all those good deals is tiring!  I hope you will come create and except our sketch challenge!  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Well since I couldn't narrow it down and decide on which stamp set to use for this sketch, I went to my friend Breelin Renwick at Craft-somnia Momma and asked her to pick for me.  She selected for me the Yee-Haw stamp set.  The last time I used this set, I created a card geared for a boy.  This time I switched it around and am using this sketch for a girl and not just any girl, but a "Blinged out Sheriff" girl!!

 

 

I used my calypso coral blendabilities to color the sheriff's badge and layered with some twirled twine.  I also layered several ribbons and topped it with some gold sequin trim.  I added a very vintage button with some gold bakers twine to tie it all together and add that special "girl" touch.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ calypso coral, baked brown sugar and very vanilla

Ink ~ momento ink, early espresso, baked brown sugar, gold encore

Stamp set ~ Yee-Haw, hardwood

Misc. ~ very vintage buttons, gold sequin trim, natural twine, gold bakers twine, gold glimmer paper, mini star punch, large polka dot embossing folder

 

 

Truely Thankful for You with SSINK

 

Good morning!  Today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration we are sharing projects created just for our followers!  We truly appreciate and are thankful for following us each day with your posts, each week with our fun challenges and for leaving us those kind comments that keep our design team members INKspired to keep creating!

 

I stepped away this time from the traditional Fall colors that most people thank of when its time to think of being Thankful cause it connect it with Thanksgiving and Fall colors or oranges, browns, reds and greens.  Nope this time, I stepped outside the box and went with a bit softer color choice.  Above was my color inkspiration.



Ok, not only did I step away from the fall thankful colors, I also stepped away from traditional fall thankful images of pumpkins, leaves and such and went with feathers.  Yep, I just love the Four Feathers stamp set.  I first stamped the feather down the side of my crumb cake layer in versa mark ink and heat embossed with gold powder.  I also stamped and cut out three feather on white cardstock and embossed with gold powder.  I then took my spongers and inked each feather with my colors of night of navy, crisp cantaloupe and blackberry bliss.

 

I love burlap but with this card I wanted a softer touch so I broke out my finger dauber and got inky.  I sponged on whisper white craft ink on top of my burlap ribbon.  It created the perfect touch next to the venetian crochet trim.  The perfect added touch was the crisp cantaloupe twine and the added gold sequins.

 

Supplies Used

 Cardstock ~ crumb cake

Ink ~ whisper white, versa mark

Stamp set ~ four feathers

Misc. ~ gold embossing powder, gold sequins, crisp cantaloupe twine, burlap ribbon, venetian crochet trim ribbon, glue dots, red line tape

"Snow" Globe fun #FM187

Good morning!  Its Saturday and normally at this time I would be enjoying my morning by sleeping in.  Yep, its the first day in five that I don't have to get up at 6:20am, but here I am up, and why you ask?  Well today I am spending the day with some friends are we will be crafting away!

 

But before I get started, I wanted to share my project card for The Friday Mashup challenge.  Avery certainly has picked a fun mashup for us to play along with.  Its all about "weather" and to mash it up, add in some metal.  I decided to except her challenge and created this cute snow globe card.  For the past couple of weeks the temperature here in Va. has really been dropping.  So if its gonna be this cold, I say go ahead and let it snow....but just a little!  So with that in mind, I created my challenge card around "snow"!  The Mashup team still has an open call out for some new design team members.  I'm opening up my card and blog for review in hopes to earn a spot on this team!  Wish me luck!!

 

 

With snow in mind, I thought the perfect colors to play with were colors from the 2013 set of in colors, (coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe, strawberry slush and pistachio pudding)  The snow globe I thought was perfect to show case snow as well as the "Holiday Home" stamp set and matching framelits.  As I kid, and still today, I love picking up and shaking a snow globe to see the glitter and snow flutter around.

 

I stamped the three different homes in matching ink with the cardstock and used a snowmaker marker I have along with my heat gun to add snow texture to each roof top and around the windows.  I also created a window pocket and added silver and snowflake sequins along with matching in color sequins to the inside that shake around when you move the card.

 

 

For my metal mashup part of the challenge, I tied on with black/white bakers twine an all is calm metal snowflake embellishment.  Perfect to hang down and add that extra shimmer!
