Highdesert Stamper – Artistic Inkspirations

Bet you thought you’d seen all the horses….well.. I had to make 4 cards…so I did them all a bit different. Here’s the one I sent to my granddaughter in Tenn. I braided the hemp along the side using a 4 strand macrame braid. The front is polished stone.

My granddaughter loves horses… so I had to make one for her. When you do  polished stone…the colors always come out different, even when you use the same mixes. I love the blue tones in this one. It was actually a green I used with some golds and oranges with gold metallic ink.

Check back later for some sneak peeks of projects using some of the new items from the Spring Mini Occasions flyer. There are some really neat new tools that match the new stamp sets.  You still have time to get some of the goodies off the CLEARANCE RACK!! Things are reduced as much as 80%. That sale will end tomorrow!!

Here is how she decorated the box with the Holly Berry Bouquet designer paper, some ribbon, lace and a beautiful rosette on top made with the new Simply Scored tool.  Enjoy!!

This is the last week the Creative-Sketches blog will have challenges for this year. They will be doing something different starting in 2012, …dont’ know what they will be doing, all I know is it will be a bit different than the rest of the challenge blogs. I “heard” by the grapevine there may be prizes and contests, some blog hops, 3D items, etc. I guess we’ll all have to wait and see!! So here is the last sketch for this year.

Here is my MDS card for this challenge. I chose to use MDS so you can see how you can build some quick Christmas cards, customizing them to your needs. I love the Winter Post stamp set. It’s one of the ones currently on sale in the ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA.  The “DSP” background is from the new Letters From Santa paper.  So check out my card, and be sure to check out the rest of the teams cards.

Be sure to check out my ETSY SHOP and my WEBSTORE for handmade cards, books, tags, envelopes, gifts, and Retired stamp sets and other stamping supplies in my WEBSTORE.

Leave a comment and you’ll get your name in the drawing for a MYSTERY CARD kit. I will be sending a card out this weekend to one lucky blog reader!!  Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog. Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
