Inspiration Challenge

[Merry]

Must be time for an Easter theme this week.

[Merry]

Wow...so love the vintage and the red cards. You ladies have outdone yourselves.

[Mandy]

Easter it is...off to eat some eggs ROFL

[eyak48]

Oh goody I have done mine

[Merry]

This week I think we should have a recipe challenge. Now I think I am making a challenge for myself as I need to think of items that are available for all the forms of crafts on here. So this project should include:


One ribbon, two yellow beads and three flowers.

Goodluck.

[Mandy]

Yikes, I just realised I missed the Easter one.........I even cut out and stuck all the eggs together from my new Spellbinders, just forgot to make the card...DOH!

[Merry]

Those eggs look like such fun.....can't wait to see the card you come up with Mandy.

[Merry]

Here is my card for the last weeks inspiration challenge.....one ribbon....well it was one ribbon that I cut in three spots. Two yellow beads...the centres of the outside flowers. Three flowers. I have such a fun time creating these flowers. Cut rough freehand circle and then crumple the paper up, open out and rub over with an emery board. Melissa and I had a chuckle as I was madly going through the rubbish as I had accidentally thrown one of the centres out. Here I am looking through rubbish for a crumpled circle. hmmmmmm

This weeks Inspiration Challenge is - Green and Cream.

[Mandy]

Thank you Merry, I love the inspirations challenges...............although the last one ahd me stumped, I forgot where my beads were. I've got some catching up to do, got three I'm behind on now

[eyak48]

Thank you Merry, I think I have a couple to catch up as well. Unfortunately the garden is priority today and tomorrow before the rain comes back.

Here is my card creation of this weeks challenge - Green and Cream. I have had this stamp for a little while but have been unable to use it as I didn't have an acrylic block long enough. Fixed that yesterday when I bought a new block. Also discovered these wonderful dressmaker pins in the $2 shop. The wonderful ribbon and paper flower are from Blue Edge Crafts.

That is a really nice image Merry, love your card, she's a very modern miss and I love the colours you've chosen. Don't you love finding bargains at the $2 shops? The alst craft fair we did in December, there was a couple there selling heaps of scrapbooking stickers at $1.00 each. I picked up about $50 worth with the intention of scanning them in and choosing ones to resell. Haven't quite got there yet, the bag though is a constant source of inspiration.

[Merry]

I had a thought this morning.. Why not go through the gallery and highlight some of the cards already made with the weekly theme. So here are some Cream and Green cards I found for your inspiration. The first and last cards are from eyak48 (Kaye's) album Click her name to see the rest of her wonderful creations. The middle two cards are from Mandy and you can see her inspirational cards by clicking on her name.

That is a great idea, Merry, see I've already made three I have say I quite like cream and green, so not really a hard one for me, I've nearly finished my sketch challenge then its catch up with these.
