Inkspirations Sketch Challenge #53

I've been "home alone" for the last 24hrs away- my 1st time in ages and need I tell you that I'm loving it!
I wasted the afternoon yesterday watching some tv etc but last night I conjured up some mojo and played along with the Inkspirations Sketch Challenge (#53).

I absolutely LOVE Perfect Plum - one of my fav Stampin' Up colours!

I embossed the Fifth Avenue Floral rose with 1st. Versamark and 2nd. Perfect Plum ink, then heated Clear Embossing Powder over it. I then sprayed the entire rose with water, and used my Aqua Painter dipped in Perfect Plum ink to lightly spread some colour. I let it dry and it some parts of the petals again to make darker. I then "tizzed" and used some So Saffron ink and Aqua Painter as well. THEN, I sprayed the entire flower with Silver Glimmer Mist and then I stopped before I went too far!!!

'So Glad We're Friends" is embossed with clear embossing powder - to make it "pop"!

Margarets Bday Card 2010

I stayed up half the night to make my aunty Margaret a birthday card and also a bit of a cheer-me-up card. I was inspired by Teneale Williams card here. I absolutely adore all her work - she sure is one super creative gal!!! Hope you like!

Just Add Ink Challenge 4 'Happy Bday Rose Card"

Leaving myself the shortest time possible to produce this weeks Just Add Ink Colour Challenge, I managed to whip up this little bunch of flowers; my 1st round card!
I have used Crystal Effects on the round "Happy Birthday" to give it a gloss and a few drips on the leaves, as well as Dazzling Diamonds on some.
WOOPS: Apologies but I forgot to add that I did case this card from Splitcoast from here as I mucked up and made the wrong item this week and ran out of time to get kickstart the brain into this faboulous card-challenge mode.
