Creative Card Making at A Vintage Journey

Hi Everyone and Welcome . 

Thanks for stopping by today. Its another busy end to the week here at ink-a- pink as today I'm back with a quick post to invite you join me over at A Vintage Journey where I am sharing a card I have created for our monthly 'Creative Card Making' feature/ post. 

This regular AVJ feature began last March (2018) when we restructured our timetable and the general idea is that on the 4th Friday of every month a Creative Guide will share ideas for making a card. There are no rules other than the finished card has to be in keeping with our preferred genres - vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.

This month I am the creative guide taking my turn to host this feature . The card I have created has a colourful, mixed media/ art journalling vibe and features one of my new art mediums: Seth Apters Izink 'Ice' from Aladine. 

Here's a few quick peaks of the card....

On This Tag .... Time for some Infusions for PaperArtsy

Hello Everyone and Welcome

Happy Weekend! Hope you are all enjoying! 

This evening I would like to invite you to join me over on PaperArtsy's blog where I am honoured and priviledged to be a Guest Blogger for their topic: On This Tag.
I have created a 'tagged journal page' that saw me breaking the seals on some of my little bottles of PaperArtsy 'Infusions'. 
I've used them with PaperArtsy Stamps, primarily one from their Hot Picks Collection (HP1502).


Here's a few close up photos:


The infusions worked their magic to create a page background full of colour, detail and texture .


They also created a tag with a much cleaner and crisp finish!


The Hot Picks stamp collection had some real mileage as it provided the focal feature of the tag


aswell as all the elements and accents on and around the tag. 

 

I would love for you to accept my invitation and join me over on PaperArtsy's blog where there's more to see and read.

Cultivate Kindness....

Hi Everyone and Welcome 

Thursday today, so as usual I'm over on That's Crafty's blog sharing my latest DT project: an art panel/ card that I have titled "Cultivate Kindness'. 
It features a monoprinted stencil design that I created using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks with a PaperArtsy Stencil designed by Tracy Scott. 

Heres a quick peak
