Hello everyone! Welcome to another Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop!

 I am excited to be using Sale-a-brations items again! Can you believe it is another Year another Sale-a-brations! Here is a sneak peak at some of the items you could earn! Make sure you follow the links below to gain some inspiration on how to use your Sale-a-bration Items this January!

I love the brightness of this card! the jungle creatures inspired fun and a tropical feel. I used both blending methods. Using Lemon Lolly & Flirty Flamingo i created the background with our amazing blending brushes. I then used blends to colour in the die cut greenery and animals, i used way to many colours to name here but have a play and find the colours you love.

Our stamp and write markers are great you can create cute little borders like i have here in any of our 50 colours! If you have a steady hand you can draw just about anything.  These markers have both a thick tip and thin tip end for endless possibilities. 

Don't forget to hop along and see all the amazing cards created with our Sale-a-bration items available from January for only 2 months! Do not miss out!

This month i have created something fun and cheerful! I love pizza and I hope my customers do too! My friends sent me another three colours to give me inspiration and this is what eventuated.

Smoky Slate, Tahitian Tide & Real Red! Not 3 colours I'd choose but that is the point.

I used the masking effect to make a strip through the middle and then blend dark to light in each colour. I then used a spritzer of just water to add the water coloured look. Then use your water painters and ink pad to sprinkle colour to give it a speckled effect.

Our blends would have to be one of my favourite tools in our arsenal. They help you colour with no lines and create depth to pictures of all sorts. 

I  am grateful to participate in another International blog hop this July. I always enjoying seeing creative minds create the most beautiful cards. This month is no exception, don't forget to hop along and check out everyone else's creations and vote for your top 5. 

A friend of mine gave me inspiration for these colours, Mossy Meadow, Lemon Lolly and Misty Moonlight. not an easy combination and I wanted to try something other then florals. I actually quite like my creations when they are pushed outside of my comfort zone.

I used the Water Painters to paint ink lines across white card stock and spritz with a little blue. This creates your own subtle DSP. I then stamped each image in a different colour and fussy cut around them. I know this is not everyone's cup of tea but it can be quite therapeutic for me. 

I used the left overs i had to synchronise the inside to the front. I don't often do this but I have been inspired by many demonstrators and I do agree that it finishes off the card just nicely.

I decided to do a square card for something different and this allowed me to angle the designer series paper to display the front and the back of this amazing paper. I used the Earthen Elegance Paper and featured some of my favourite colours. Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve. It is a busy paper so you can't add to much on top but the simple pansies compliment it well. 

When the Pansy Patch stamp set first came out I struggled to make pretty cards with a little unique look to them but now they are one of my go to stamps! They are so versatile and elegant and the dies cut out solid and layered options. I went with the solid option with the embossed look and blended them from middle out to create a realistic colour palate for the flower.

I really enjoyed this months challenge and cannot wait to see what everyone else has created, so be sure to hop along and check out all of the Talent we have here in Australia!
