artful INKables challenge and a prize. Don't miss it.

Happy Wednesday Morning to everyone. I have been working my long stretch and I am now in my stamping room. OK here is my card for today's challenge. I hope you like it. I masked the giraffe so that I could stamp the flowers in the background. It kinda looks 3-D like the giraffe is sticking out a bit. My doodling is a minimum I just don't have a steady hand to do that. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.





Here is what I used:
Stamps: artful INKables: Zany Zoo 1, Paradise Island, Basic Salutatuions
Paper: SU: Whisper white and Basicgrey: two scoops

Give Me Coffee!!!

Yes that is what I said. Rick and I had a discussion on who gets the last cup of coffee this morning and well I won. How you ask I said just that Give me Coffee if you don't want to get hurt. We were kidding of course, but I thought it was funny when I came down to my work room and this was the Limited supply challenge over at SCS. So I thought this little monkey from artful INKables, "Zany Zoo 1" would be a perfect card to give him when again he thinks he can have the last cup of coffee. Now you must understand he has a fresh pot waiting for him when he gets to work. So I am not taking anything away from him!!! So let me know what you think of my card.

Here is what I used:

Stamps: artful INKables: Zany Zoo 1
Paper: SU: Basic Black, Whisper White, Others unknown
Ink: SU: Pumpkin Pie, and Versafine: Onyx Black
Accessories: Ribbon, Halloween from micheals, rhinestones from me and my big ideas, flowers are prima, dicuts are from sizzix, prismacolor pencils and pop dots

Nope not for me. Thanks Lynn for the Try a New Technique challenge but I just could not master it. I tried. I really don't like working with craft ink at all either. So anyway here is my attempt. Thanks again for a great challenge It really did make me think out side of the box.

The stamping on the black paper with craft ink... no
The coloring and it not showing up till later on black paper... no
Finding out something you don't like to do ... Priceless
