Scrapbooking

Hello, today I have put up some scrapbooking pages I have done over the last 6 months.

I don't very often put my pages up on my blog.

I have been scrapping old family photos of my husband family.

I love tearing paper & inking it.

All the pattern paper that I have used is from Kaisercraft.

Love this paper & the way this page turn out.

With this page I have stamped a flourish around the outside of a piece of white cardstock, then I spray it with 3 colours of glimmermist. All the flourishes, letters & words have been covered in mod podge. The 3 flowers have been made by punching out some circles, spraying with glimmermist & then scrunching up while wet. To finish the flower I add a pearl brad from Kaisercraft.

Love doing this type of page, a lot of work but well worth it.

Hope you have enjoyed your visit

All the best

Pin Cushion

Hello, today I thought I would show you that you don't have to stamp just on card with your Inky stamps.

I have made a pin cushion using Cutie Pie Angelica from Inky Impressions.

I have made this pin cushion out of a cream fabric & a patterned fabric.

I used a Memento black ink to stamp the image onto the fabric.

Then I used my copic markers to colour the image in. You will need to be carefully that the colours don't bleed, mind did a little bit.

I have also stuck some rhinestones around the image & around the sides & top of the cushion (rhinestones are from Inky Impressions).

I added some string pearls around all the sides & top.

I also made a bow added some string pearls & to hold it all together added a pearl brad.

I must say I totally love the way my pin cushion turned out....very pretty!

I hope you have enjoyed my pin cushion idea for using your Inky stamps....don't forget to check out the Inky Impressions store for more beautiful images...HERE

All the best

Kerry
