Thanks for stopping by on the CTC Blog Hop . You may have just 'hopped' here from Stasia's blog or landed here directly.  Either way, I hope you are enjoying our Hop. Tonight the Crew have 'CASED' ideas from the Wedding Section of the Occasions Catalogue (pages 42 - 44).  There's lots of inspiration packed into 3 pages and here's what inspired me to make a cute little Tealight Birdhouse - Theme:  Wedding (Favour/Décor) Colour:  Blushing Bride, Wild Wasabi, Sahara Sand, Kraft (Baked Brown Sugar) Technique:  White Embossing on Vellum and Colouring the Images Accessories:  Sahara Sand Lace Trim I love the ' Choose Happiness ' Stamp Set and the white embossing on the vellum gives it a soft 'romantic' look.       The DIY Mini Milk Carton was designed by Sam from Pootles Papercraft and I followed a video tutorial on Stampin' Connection made by Maria Russell.

Romantic Roses for The Card Concept

Image
Hi there.  Welcome to add INK tive designs.  I'm entering this card that I made today in the latest challenge at The Card Concept .  My sister wanted me to make a wedding card to give to her ex-sponsor child in Indonesia, so I went in search of a starting point and just loved the colour palette and photo inspiration for CC#28.   The Card Concept #28 - Romantic Roses Shabby Chic (Vintage) Style           The card has a closure made from the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch with a pocket inside for a gift card or letter. The butterfly was cut from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and coloured with the darkest shade from the  Pink Pirouette Blendabilities . The Card Concept have a variety of card 'styles' that the DT use to inspire.  I think mine falls into the Shabby Chic/Vintage style. Thanks for stopping by, 

Choose Happiness

I've just spent a lovely weekend away on a Women's Retreat for church. We stayed at Camp Clayton in Ulverstone.  Of course I just had to take some of my stamping stash to play with. I really love one of my new stamp sets, 'Choose Happiness' and seeing "the beach is my happy place", I combined the two and found some beautiful, smooth rocks to stamp the images on.   My friend, Nadia, took these photos for me and I love how they turned out.            The feather image is a little sneak peek from a new, soon to be released stamp set called Four Feathers (available 28th August).
