It's my first official 2014 post for Get Inky Challenges, and the inspiration is Valentine's/Love. If you read the Get Inky blog you'll know…I don't usually make Valentine's cards as I like the sappy poems on the store bought ones.
I had a purse shaped gift card holder that I'd never used and thought it was perfect for this. I used the stitched square and heart from Get Inky to make my embellishment.
I originally thought I was going to use several hearts in many colors so I wanted to share a tip with you. While at Walmart I went to the paint department and picked up a paint strip sample in the shades of pink I wanted. It would have been perfect for many heart as they all would have been graduated in the same family. I'm sure I'll use that idea somewhere else in the future.
Will you be joining the challenge this week? If so, I can't wait to see what you create.
Gosh - I forgot to post my winner. I was cleaning up my desk to day and saw the prize and went…Oh Crud! With out further ado, the winner is Kim B! Kim won the card I created for the hop as well as a 6x6 paper pad from Recollections. It's their new Valentine's pad. I saw it at Michael's and instantly knew that was the one for the winner. Thank you all for your comments and follows…I appreciate each and every one!
Hi, and welcome to the Get Inky! Farewell & Welcome Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from La-Vie's blog. If you happened to have stumbled into the hop mid-way be sure to start at the Get Inky! Challenge Blog for a chance to win a fun prize.
The blog hop is saying goodbye to our old team members, and welcoming our new. I was a guest designer last time, and am a part-time design team member this go around. I am happy to be included again as Get Inky! makes a quality stamp, and all the girls are a blast to work with.
For my project I choose to use the cricut cartridge A Child's Year. I cut out a fairy and then replaced her wand with a flower. After she was glued down I used stickler and glitter for her wings.
The flowers, and butterflies, are stamped with Blue Moon Creation's build a flower that is part of the Love Bugs set. The pink and purple flowers were colored with a blender pen and my stamp pads. The green and yellow are wink of stella pens. They give a slight sheen/glitter, but not a whole lot…hence wink I guess.
Now for the fun part. Leave a comment on each blog along the way and you'll be entered to win:
* one of three one-year Inky Moonbeam memberships
