'Helping Hudson', a Guest Stamper and the Last Chance List!

Hi all,

Over the past weeks, some Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have been very busy putting together a fundraiser called "Helping Hudson: A Wheely Great Cause". There are some amazing tutorials to purchase and challenges to enter, with awesome prizes donated by Stampin' Up! Pop on over to the Helping Hudson blog, here, to find out all the details! You can also click on the button on my left sidebar.

A little while ago, I featured some projects on my blog which had been made by the ladies at one of my classes, and I couldn't figure out what had happened to one of the photos... Well, at last week's class, the ladies informed me that I hadn't actually taken the photo in the first place! So at least my camera isn't playing up, it is just my horrendous memory :)
Anyway, I promised Ellie I would feature her projects to make up for it!

I think Ellie's cards are simply gorgeous! We used the Crayon Resist technique in this class, and I was inspired to use the Embrace Life set after seeing it used with this technique on Claire Daly's blog.

It's the last chance to purchase some of the stamp sets (including Embrace Life) and accessories that will be discontinued, or 'retired' by Stampin' Up! at the end of this month!
Head over to my Demonstrator Website to view the Last Chance list.
Some of the stamp sets and accessories are discounted, and won't last long - contact me to place your order.

Take care,
Genelle.

Inkspirations Sketch #22 - Wish

Hi all,

This week the very talented Renee is hosting Makeesha's Inkspirations Challenge while Keesh's computer is being repaired. Pop over here to join in and to view the other entries!


Here is the sketch:


And here is my creation:


I have been using this colour combo a lot lately, and will miss Brocade Blue when it retires later this year. (I have stocked up already in preparation!)

The flower has been embossed, cut out and popped up on dimensionals, along with the sentiment. I have coloured the flower with my inkpad and blender pen.


Supplies:
Stamps: Embrace Life, Short & Sweet
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Brocade Blue, Basic Black
Ink: Brocade Blue, Basic Black, VersaMark
Accessories: Black embossing powder, black ribbon (non-SU), blender pen, large oval punch, scallop oval punch, dimensionals.

Thanks Renee, and Keesh for a fabulous sketch!
Genelle.
