An Inkspirational Card!

By
My good friend Mynnette has just set up a fab new 'Inkspirational' challenge blog, you can find it - HERE.
The first challenge is to use these colours


And here is my card


I have used some Stampin' Up Framelit Dies to create an easel card. Using the largest die to make the card base this will fit very comfortably into a 5" x 5" envelope.
There are 6 dies in the set and I had great fun cutting loads to mat and layer. Basic Black and Very Vanilla were used and then I stamped some windmills from the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. I used Melon Mambo and Certain Celery inks along with Basic Black for my sticks and sentiment.
Here's what it looks like flat


I added some Basic Rhinestones to the centres of the windmills and the windmills themselves have been raised on Dimensionals.


Materials
Stamps: Sweets for the Sweet
Ink: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Certain Celery
Card Stock: Very Vanilla
Accessories: Framelits - Windows Frames Collection, Dimensionals, Basic Rhinestones
(Items above highlighted in red are Stampin' Up products and are all available in the current Annual Catalogue. I would be very happy to order any Stampin' Up product for you at any time and have it delivered direct to you door - details are at the top of the page).

Thanks for looking - Jacqueline xx

    This is amazing Jacqueline, I love these framelits you have used to make the card. It sounds like a lot of work to make but has a great CAS look to it. Thanks for joining us on Inkspirational

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making. Moving on This is where I usualy do all my 'messy' crafting hence all the Distress Inks and paints. However at the moment there is a rather large pile of paper work in the way (meeting minutes and accounts etc) - this really needs to be tackled asap - however still moving on This is the other end where I am piling up all the bits and pieces for my workshop tomorrow night - we are doing medallion cards - so much to do so l...
