OCTOBER 2018 INSPIRATION CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello house friends,

Are you ready for another weekly challenge from The House That Stamps Built?  

It's a beautiful inspiration challenge this week....here's my card.

Using RI Stamp #5127-K "Maple Leaf Sil (lg") and Ranger Alcohol Lift Ink, I stamped the color lift on a white card stock and got this gorgeous result.  I absolutely love this ink and the many ways you can use it.  The sentiment is RI#1105-E "Thinking of You", which I stamped in a kraft color dye ink.  

This is the inspiration we were given to play with.  What inspires you from this image and color chart?  

Come on over to THE HOUSE, check out the challenge details, join the challenge and play along.

It's DAY TWO of 30 Days of Christmas and all stamps from the Christmas catagory in the Technique Junkies Stamps store are discounted 20% from October 13th-November 13th.

My card uses the fabulous new stamp Wreath Sled, from the October 2018 Release.  Using my MISTI stamp positioner, I stamped the image on a white card stock panel with Memento Espresso Truffle and then colored with Copic Markers.  I left the stamp in place on the MISTI and once colored, I placed it back in the stamp positioner and restamped it with VersaFine Clair ink, Fallen Leaves.  I then sprayed the entire panel with Shimmering Bliss Silver Topper.  Wow!  It's gorgeous!

EAT, DRINK, & BE SCARY

Hey there, peeps!  

I've got a really cute card to show you using one of the fabulous stamps from the Technique Junkies Stamps September 2018 release called "Raven Collage" which I paired with the fantastic Halloween sentiment "Be Scary".  

Enabler alert:  Both images I've used here, as well all stamps and supplies you might like to purchase from the Technique Junkies Stamps Store are discounted at 10% with my personal discount coupon code TJ10CHERI.   

The background was created by blending distress inks over a watercolor paper panel with baby wipes.  (one of my most favorite techniques).  The fabulous Raven Collage  image was then stamped over the completely dry panel with the awesome Clair Versafine Ink in "Nocturne" (I'm in totally in love with these inks).   Trim the panel, layer and adhere to a card base....done!  The sentiment was stamped on a separate black cs scrap in Versamark and heat embossed with white ep.  The crow's beak and eye were highlighted with a yellow gel pen.  Love it!  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Don't forget the coupon for your happy mail shopping...we all love happy mail!
