inky impressions challenge use something old

hello everyone! it's time for another inky impressions challenge!  this weeks theme is "use something old"  i love to use old things in my cards, the more vintage and shabby chic the better! :) here's my card for this week.

for my something old i used vintage buttons from my button collection, lace, and colored my stamped image in sepia tones.  the stamp that i used is MarLeigha's Ornament Dance which is probably one of my favorite's from inky impressions!  i found some 7 gypsy's sugar plum paper from my local stamping store and HAD to use it for this card.  i made a swooping pocket for the card instead of a regular criss cross card, which i thought it made it look even more unique and vintage.  i added  lot's of pearl swirls and all sorts of embellies from silk ribbon roses, cameos, flat backed pearls, large vintage-y paper flowers.

here's a close up of my image.  i LOVE the way it turned out. :) 

i would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

inky impressions challenge - snow

hello everyone it's time for another inky impressions challenge, this weeks theme is - winter or snow! i really had a blast with this theme, here it is

for this card i printed my digital stamp Marisa's Sleigh Ride onto watercolor paper, ironed it to set my printers ink, and used my tim holtz markers to paint Marisa.   for the large snowflake that i mounted Marisa on is just cut out of craft paper and painted with acrylic paints, then mounted onto a piece of basic grey white and cream lace patterned paper and cut out to make the snowflake stand out.  i added some i am roses flowers in to corner, silver swirls from hobby lobby, snowflake lace from the tin tiara on etsy, and a "warm wishes" sentiment to the corner.

 here's a close up of Marisa's Sleigh Ride and you can really see the details of the hand painted snowflake background i sponged where she would be riding so she would look out of place and flicked with sliver paint after i finished with all it's painting for just a little christmas sparkle! :)

i hope you like this project and check out inky impressions!

inky impressions challenge- give thanks

hello everyone it's that time again, time for a new challenge from inky impressions.  the new challenge theme is give thanks, which is a very easy thing to do this time of year :).  here's my card for this week :

i tried to keep this card nice and sophisticated by using sepia tones and blacks.  i used the senitment "you're unforgettable" on this card, i love the size of the sentiment stamps they fit perfectly onto little labels or tags, like ive used here.

i used the stamp Lili playing in the leaves and colored her in sepia tones with my copic markers.  :)

i hope you enjoy this card and stop by the inky impressions challenge blog to join us :)

inky impressions happy birthday challenge

hello everyone!  this week at the Inky Impressions Challenge Blog the new theme is "happy birthday!"  this works out great for me, because a lot of the people in my family have birthdays during the holiday season.  5 to be exact, sprinkled all through the 4 major holidays (halloween, thanksgiving, christmas and new years) and with 5 extra birthdays this is a VERY busy time of year.  so anytime i can kill two birds with one stone by making a birthday card and entering to win some challenges is very awesome! :)  the card that i made is for my little 3 y/o girl her birthday is in december.  :)

since the new tinkerbell movie came out i decided to use fairy Lili  which is a PERFECT match for the doll! i was so happy about that.  :)  and my little girl's favorite color is green so i tried to really green it up in this one :)

here's a little close up of fairy lili,

and a side angle of the card,  as if there isn't enough waste due to packing i decided to make my own packing lol.  but i really love the image and the doll side by side.  and my birthday girl is little so she doesn't exactly know what to do with cards yet.  so this works out perffect for her :)

i hope you enjoyed this project and try it out yourself!  thanks for visiting! :)
