Inspired By...Cookies

 Hello everyone.  We have a New Inspired By... #IB395 Challenge on the blog today.  The theme this week is Cookies and A New Card Sketch and Inspiration Colors.  Have fun you have less than a week.

Let's Get Started:

I was inspired by the colors, Sea Theme, and Card Sketch. I first started ink blending my white cardstock with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink, Catherine Pooler All That Jazz ink, and Concord & 9th Sea Glass ink for the blue inks on my card. I ink blended Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink for my brown ink blending on my pattern paper and on my squares. I cut my squares and rectangles using my scraps looking at the card sketch so fun.

Next, I stamped and heat embossed my Sea horse, Jellyfish, and air bubbles using Lawn Fawn and Forever in Time stamp sets with Versamark and White embossing powder. I embossed the Whimsy Stamps Ocean Stencil for the fish. I then cut out a starfish and shell from Emily Moore Designs Charm Set Sizzling Summer with white cardstock.  Pattern Paper and word sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I had so much making this card.

Now it's Your Turn!

Inspired By Freezies Challenge

 Hello I'm so happy to participate in the current Inspired By Freezies Challenge#IB340.  I was inspired by the colors, photo, and sketch.  Without further ado here's my card.

On my card, I used MFT Stamps Pair Of Popsicles Die-namics and MFT Stamps Sunshine Kisses Stamp.  I started out with cutting out a bunch of popsicles 8 to be exact with white cardstock.  I ink blended 4 of them using Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed, Green Tea, Mandarin Spice, and Royal Treatment Mini inks and small blending brushes.  

Next, I cut out 4 Popsicle sticks in white cardstock and ink blended them with Concord & 9th ink cube in Stardust.  I then put my popsicles together sandwiching 2 popsicles together 1 ink blended and 1 white cardstock with foam tape.  I stuck the popsicle sticks in with liquid glue.  I then cut out white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 and glued my popsicles according to the sketch.  I covered my popsicles with a scrap piece of cardstock and flicked ink splatters with a little bit of water using the same inks as my popsicles onto my panel.

I stamped my sentiment from the Sunshine Kisses stamp with Versafine Onyx ink on orange cardstock and then cut it with my paper trimmer.  I then glued my panel to a A2 gray card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I had so much fun making this card.  Thank you to Inspired by for their fun challenges.
