Green Beer Inspiration

     Hi everyone!  Lyne here, from Lynn's Everyday Ideas, with your latest challenge inspiration. 
     My family is not Irish, but you can't help hear about green beer so that's where my inspiration came from. I used Get Inky's jar and handle to create a beer mug and then used a blending tool to ink it a light green.  The shamrocks are cut from patterned paper.  I attached the mug to the card using an action wobble.  It made me think of people having to much and sloshing their mug around...silly I know! 
     Can't wait to see what you create!

DT Lyne's Halloween Button Card

     Good Morning Get Inky Fans...Lyne here with your button challenge inspiration of the day!  Okay...that was a bit perky even for me, and my nickname in school was Snapple because I was always chipper like the Snapple lady from the commercials.  I just can't help but be happy today because as I type this the sun is shinning enough that DH and DS are outside playing!  For anyone with a three year old you know how much this means.  I digress though and on to my Get Inky project.  
     I used a yard of ribbon and the Get Inky 2013 Halloween set to create this fun card. I wove the ribbon like a messy web and used the button as the "prey" that the spider caught.  The stamps were also just the right size to give the spider some friends without it being too busy.  I share more details about why I'm doing a Halloween card in February if you'd like to pop over to my blog and take a read. 
     As always though I can't wait to see what you create for the button challenge...Get Inky has so many talented fans!

Lyne's Valentine Inspiration

     Hi everyone - Lyne here from Lyne's Everyday Ideas for my first 2014 inspiration post here at Get Inky.  The challenge this time is Valentine's/Love.
     Would you believe this is the one holiday I usually buy a card for because I love the sappy poems.  I went a little out of the box and created a Valentine's gift card holder in the shape of a purse. The stitched square and stitched heart are both from Get Inky Stamps.

     I hope you'll come and join us for this challenge.  We love to see all your creations!

Lyne's Fall Colors Inspiration

    Hi everyone...Lyne here with a guess designer post as inspiration for the current challenge: Fall Colors. 

     This was my first time using digital stamps, and it was a lot of fun.  It brought my back to coloring as a child. 

     I used the Funky Flower digi set, and Sailboat set.  Both can be found on the Etsy shop.  For more info please head over to my blog.  Can't wait to see what you create for the challenge.

Fabulous Floral Fun Inspiration

Happy Wednesday!

The current challenge over on the Get Inky! Challenge blog is Fabulous Floral Fun - use flower(s) on your project.  AND every participant who follows the challenge rules when participating in our challenge will receive 3 FREE DIGI STAMPS!!!   Woo Hoo!! 

Here's my take on the Fabulous Floral Fun challenge............

 

I used Blue Moon Creation's Buzzing Bees Stamp Set for this little cutie.  The stamp set has a flower included, but no leaves/stems.  So I got creative.  :-)  The set includes two 'bee tracks,' one dashed and one solid lined.  I took the solid 'tracks' and inked just the portion I wanted and stameds the 'stems and leaves,' then stamped the flower on top.   Perfect!!   After I added the bee and his trail, I used distress inks (Salty Ocean & Mowed Lawn) to color the background.  The flowers and bee were colored with distress and Copic markers.  Pearls were added to the centers to give the card some dimension.  A touch of icicle Stickles to finish the bee's wings. 

Go Get Inky! and link your creation up HERE.

Be sure to visit my blog to see more about my card and all the supplied I used.

With Heartfelt Sympathy

Big wave to everyone from the Netherlands.

I'm Angelique and you can find me on EngelDesignsScrap

On our Get Inky! Challenge Blog we have a sketch challenge, which will run untill 4/14.

I know we all enjoy crafting and like to do that with a smile upon our faces. 

However sometimes it's not all rosebuds and sunshine.

For my sympathy card I've used the Heartfelt Sympathy Banner.

The flower is made of black 120gr. paper.

The Cardstock I got from the market and it has a realy nice structure.

The moment I saw it, I just knew it would be perfect for my card.

As this is a sympathy card, I didnt want to add much embelishments.

Just clean and simple.

Now its your turn. Remember you have 3 days left to join us.

Hop on over to our Get Inky! Challenge Blog and show us your creativity.

Lets Get Inky!

Huggsss, Angelique

A lil' "BEE Cheerful" Inspiration

Know someone who needs a little pick me up?  Well how about  this card.   It certainly brought a smile to my face when I made it.  As a Guest Designer , I was inspired to make this card based on the  challenge Sketch going on at the Get Inky! challenge blog.

With the  "Buzzing Bee Trail" digital stamp  from Get Inky! I printed this little guy onto some white card stock, coloured him with one of my favourite water colours; H2 0 LuminArte.  (To see the details of this project please visit my blog:  http://annmakes.blogspot.com)..

The green print flowers were made with "DCWV" paper  and "Cuddlebug" dies.  I made the largest flower with a "Stampin'Up! "paper shaper.  The picket fence was made with white cardstock and the "Creative Memories" Border Maker.

The card base was made from a pre made and pre scored white 5 x 6.5" card by "Recollections" (Michaels), that I painted in a wash with some of the above mentioned blue and green water colours.

So to see more great projects you might want to check out the Get Inky! challenge and Stamp blogs for Blue Moon Creation.

 And to see more of my creations please check out Annmakes.

I hope you enjoy!  Bee Cheerful!  bzzzzbzzzzbzzz
