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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
