Inkspiration Challenge

From Heidi...

I made this card for this week's Inkspiration Sketch Challenge. This was a great card sketch..although after I went back and looked at the sketch, I realized that I didn't really follow the sketch exactly. Oh well, next time!

For this card I used the Inlaid Embossing technique (which I think I'm stuck on right now, but I think it's such a cool way to make textured paper), to create this masculine themed card. I also used the stamp set Word Play using "Wish Big." I really love this little sentiment...and for fun, I added a red rhinestone bling to the star. Thanks for taking time to visit!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White

Newsletter and Craftroom Video

We've published our March Newsletter and can't wait to share with you this month's fun "How-To" video that coincides with our newsletter's Craftroom article. This month's Craftroom share is how to do the Inlaid Embossing. This technique is super easy and makes some very cool paper...so be sure to check it out. Our newsletter also lists our upcoming classes with time, dates and registration information.

I'm excited about this month's classes (well, I'm excited every month), but this month we're making acetate cards using three different techniques, and they're just plain fun to make. Plus our Project class this month is SO cool. Adriel designed this month's project which is a write-on/wipe-off decorative Menu Board. We also added a purse-size decorative covered notepad to use as a shopping or menu notepad.

Thanks for visiting us and seeing what we're up to. We'd love to have you join us for any of our classes. We've got a great group of stamping friends that make everyone who joins us feel welcome.
