Take a Sip....

As soon as I seen the Take a Sip Stampin' Around Wheel in the 2010-2011 IB&C I knew that I just had to have it. While the Morning Cup set is nice, I don't drink coffee and doubt that I would ever use all the stamps in that set.

I remembered a tutorial that I had seen ages ago on Teneale Williams' blog describing how to unmount the rubber from the wheel and then remount it to be used as a clear mount stamp. I now have a wonderful set of 8 stamps (9 including some of the star like shapes).

These images are perfect to colour with either the aqua painters or blender pens.

Here's what I came up with -

Just Add Ink Challenge #31

I know I'm a bit late with the Just Add Ink #31 Challenge. It's actually last weeks. I've had the real red, chocolate chip and kraft (soon to be called crumb cake) card stock sitting on my craft table all this time but I just couldn't work out what to do with them. I think I was struggling with the fact that there wasn't any whisper white, very vanilla or green.  This afternoon I decided that that was it... I was finally going to make something using only those colours.

This is what I came up with -

And the inside -

This card actually came together really quickly once I started. I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned as well (although I'm not too sure about the inside).

Will I use only these three colours together on a card again??? I'm not too sure about that, you'll have to wait and see :)
