November Blog Hop at Just Inklined

Another Monday, and the start of a new week. Although we can't do anything about the weather and the grey skies, hopefully we can brighten your day with this month's blog hop at Just Inklined. This time around, Lori is our lovely hostess and she has chosen the theme...Lace and Handmade Flowers. If you've arrived here from visiting with Karen L, then you are right on track, and I've listed the blog order below if you miss any of the stops. And of course, be sure to leave comments along the way if you would like a chance of winning one of our spot prizes.

Today I've played with this adorable image...Lady of the Manor. Very feminine, so perfectly suited to this month's theme. The image is coloured with copics, while the rest of the card is stamped and shaded with distress ink. I decided on paper lace and a dimensional flower cut out with my Silhouette.

Supplies used:
Spellbinders dies - Romantic Rectangles
Whimsy Stamps die - Vines
Impression Obsession - Ornate Floral stamp
Evergreen Bough distress ink
Sentiment stamp from Stampotique

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and next you will be visiting Gaynor to see what lovely creation she has to share. Have fun and a wonderful day!

Marvelous Monochrome

Good morning everyone....at least I think it's morning, the sun is shining. Yesterday was another crazy day with an evening emergency keeping me out until one in the morning. But here we go, with my card for the Charisma challenge.

A little bit of everything here, but no image! Nice and easy to do, once I came up with the idea. I've embossed the card blank, stamped and inked with blue distress ink, used a couple of dies, some gems and a pretty ribbon that I won from Sew Sweet .....doesn't it make a lovely bow!

Supplies used
Wallpaper background stamp from Impression Obsession
Romantic Rectangles die from Spellbinders
and the butterfly which uses a Magnolia die

For this week's challenge at Charisma, you need to make a monochromatic card....but first, be sure to check out the wonderful projects from the DT. With all that inspiration, I'm sure you'll find the time to join us this week, for your chance to win one of the lovely prizes offered by our sponsors.
