The 19th Hole

This card was made for my Father-in-Law's Birthday. He loves his golf with a passion.

The 19th Hole is a rubber stamp from Impression Obsession. I stamped in Black Brilliance Ink and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils blended with odourless mineral spirits. I wrote DAD above the door in a copic fine multiliner pen. These are water and smudge proof. Diamond Glaze was used on the '19th Hole' sign.

I then punched out the top right corner using a ticket punch from EK success.

The sentiment which I thought was just perfect is from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. It was cut out using petite oval nestablities.

All cardstock is from Bazzill, the decorative paper is from Kaisercraft. The deep red cardstock was put through the cuttlebug,

The finishing touches were a square copper brad and a natural coloured ric rac.

I was pleased to say he thought the card was fabulous.

Until Next Time

Colonial Fall

Down Under in Australia we are coming up to our Spring and we don't celebrate Halloween here, but with Fall fast approaching in the Northern Hemisphere, and Halloween right on it's heels everyone is making Halloween Cards.
So, I too have decided to get into the 'spirit' of things and make a card. I truly do love the concept of Halloween and with all the great stamps out there, how can one resist.
This stamp is from Impression Obsession and really lends itself to coloring in, I stamped the image using Stampin Up's Basic Brown and have colored in using Prismacolor Pencils blended with Gamsol.
Take a little look at the Jack 'o Lantern brad in the bottom left hand corner. I purchased a set of Halloween Brads when I was in California eight (yes! I said 8 ) years ago, because you just never know when it will come in handy. This is the first one I have used. LOL. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do.

Until Next Time,
Inking of you all

If the Shoe fits...

If the shoe fits... Stamp it.
I just love this stamp it is one of my favorites, It is such a girly stamp that you can use for lots of occasions. It is an Alesa Baker Design from Impression Obsession.

I first chose my Designer Papers, This is a range of double sided papers called the 'Sugarplum Series' by Collage Press. The biggest decision was , which side do I use, (you can see more of these papers on this card Pretty in Pink ). Once decided I chose Bazzill smoothies card stock to match and the lime green textured card for the base.
I then colored in the shoe using Prismacolor Pencils to match the colors in the DP and cardstock. All in all this was a very simple card to do.
Until next time
Inking of you all
