Blog

Hi, Sarah here.

I want to use the blog to let you know about what's going on at Inky Doodles, in my head and in the wider world of stamping and papercraft so that you too can be inspired and create something amazing!

With the help of the wonderful Caroline Shinnie I hope to be able to show a card or project with instructions most days.

    To make the background, emboss the Twisted Check Mask through your die cutting machine, using pale green card. Distress the edges with scissors, and then use Mowed Lawn and Black Soot Distress ink to bring out the Embossing. Stamp the flower head (from the Dandelion Dreams set) randomly over the embossed card using Brilliance Pearlescent Thyme . Curl all four corners in slightly, and stick it to a blank 6x6 Kraft card. 
     
    For the toppers, decorate 3 different sized white tags with flower stamps using Starlite Silver and Pearlescent Thyme for the leaves. Add glam pink stickles to the flower heads. To make the butterfly, stamp a piece of card using the Medieval Background in Starlite Silver. Then stamp the butterfly outline from the Flutterby set with Black Versafine and cut it out. Make a matching paper bead for the butterfly body from a strip of the card, stamped in the Medieval Background. Distress the edges of the Butterfly with Mowed Lawn distress ink and embellish with a few jewels. Finally attach to the card and add ribbon.
