More Ink & Some Grunge


Hi friends I've 2 cards to share with you today 
and first up I couldn't resist entering a second card over
at Inkspirational - what a fantastic idea to combine
Pia's wedding cards with a stunning colour scheme too.

Another reason ... I watched a tutorial by the AMAZING
Jennifer McGuire HERE yesterday! Well I don't tend to miss any
but some a more inspirational than others and some have me 
searching online to purchase her latest goodies!!!
Anyway I hope she doesn't mind me 'case-ing' her card and technique.


Card Recipe:
Impression Obsession: Heart of Hearts die (de-bossed with purple ink)
Lawn Fawn: Love word die - coated in glossy accents
Purple pearlised card base, gems and sequins from my stash to finish.



My second card is to enter the current challenge at
Time Out Challenges - theme: Grunge

Now it's taken me almost 2 weeks to pluck up the courage
to make and post this card! I'm not sure grunge is my thing 
and the DT will possibly boot me out of the gallery with this one
as I'm not sure my distressed / spritzed BG is allowed as grunge.

But I'm giving it a go ... and I've used lots of embossing too.
The flower and the gold strips above and below the floral panel


Card Recipe:
Uniko Studio: Pure Florals - Gerbera & sentiment from A Gift For You
WOW: Metallic Brass sparkle EP
Distress Ink: Barn Door and Festive Berries

Ok that's all from me today but I hope to be back
later in the week when I've had a little more time to craft.
See you then and thanks for calling by.

  2. I really like the "feminine" grunge you created on the second card. Also watched the Jennifer video and loved the look she created - yours came out awesome!

  3. The purple card is great! I've still to watch JM's video on faux letterpress, but that just makes me want to try it even more!

  4. Well I am doing a little Happy Dance as not only did you do grunge but girly grunge, which is my fav. The spritz works as grunge and the added gold the perfect combo. And wow to the purple delight. This looks so perfectly CAS but has so much detail I wouldn't have the patience. All the added gloss is a delight. Thanks for joining Ink and TO x
