Dt Post for Creative Inspirations

Good morning Lovelies - I trust you are well? Did you have a funny day weatherwise yesterday? It went a bit cold and rainy here in Lancaster - but then at school pick up time the sun was out and we were all a little hot!!!  Crazy unpredictable weather!

At Creative Inspirations cinspirations this week's challenge is HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
Create something to celebrate the fact it is Father's Day in the UK soon, whether it is a card for this occasion or just a male themed creation!


This week's prize is from CRIMSON CLOUD which is
 3 DIE CUT PACKS OF THE WINNERS CHOICE!



Here's what I did:


I created the card after looking at all the talented peoples work in the latest Sheena Douglass Inkoid DT call on facebook here. One lady Jassy (here) had done the majestic oak like this and I just had to have a go myself - I think it looks wonderful and it was so easy to do. All I did was tape a piece of black and a piece of white card together using low tack tape then stamp on the other side with versamark, then I pulled the papers apart and added black embossing powder to the white piece and white to the black - and heat set. I think its fabulous and want to thank Jassy so very much for the inspiration xxx
The dies that are used are grand dies from spellbinders.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Paperake weeklypapertakeweekly: Hello Boys
LEJlejdesignschallengeblog: Boys/men
Bearly Minebearlymine-challenges: AG
Tuesday Throwdown:tuesdaythrowdown Male.
shaped cards:kraftyhandschallenge Krafty hands

Thats all for now - I had an extra post last night - just for my girls - they wanted to enter the challenge over at Mos digital for Children so if you get chance do pop along and give them some feedback!

Thanks for visiting and do check out the inkoid callout - there's amazing work there!

Big Hugs
