It's challenge time again at the Inkspiration's blog! But, this time, I'm ahead of you all, hee hee :) LOL ... I'm now part of Makeesha's Inkspiration team, helping provide YOU with some inspiration in using one of her challenges.
This week, the challenge is a sketch. Instead of making a square card, I chose to make it a regular greeting card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"). I just had to use my newest stamp set: Branch Out. I have seen so many wonderful cards using this set and I think it will be a lovely addition to my already overfull stamp cupboards. I'm planning on making this one as my JBIW card for Stamp Club which is meeting tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to it as I always do!!
**TIP** I found out that not many have thought of this: when stamping this tree, I inked it up first with the Chocolate Chip Classic ink pad, and then removed the ink from the grass using a blender pen. Then I inked up the grass with the Old Olive marker. I thought everyone would have thought of that, but at a class I realized that was not the case!
Hope you like this one as much as I do!! If you'd like to participate in the challenge, just make your creation using the sketch as your inspiration and then go post your link on Makeesha's blog! You'll also want to check out her blog for links to the others on the Inkspiration's team. I'm sure they'll wow you!
Thanks for popping by!

Congrats on your DT position... Your card is absolutely stunning, can't wait to see your next creations...
I love this one!!!! This set has been on my wish list since it came out but I have so much uninked rubber and acrylic that I can't justify getting it right now.
Sigh, what are you doing to me by creating this card that makes me feel I need to get it right now?
Thanks for sharing!
