Blue Fern Garden Wall Hanging and Vintage Ballerina



This is a wall hanging.  I created by joining Blue Fern with Inkido.  What a wonderful combination. 

I wanted to work with the Inkido stamps and create tags, but then I decided i did not want to leave them as tags.  That's when I opted to turn them into something more decorative.  I found the  Blue Fern chippies to be the perfect accent.

I used the Blue Fern Lattice Gate and coated it with Stampendous.  I thought this would be the perfect piece to tie my two tags together and create a garden feel.  

Lattice Gate #074950


You can see I also added some green eyelash trim for some vines in my garden.

 Spring Iris Small - 074912
Every garden needs flowers so I grabbed the Blue Fern small Spring Iris set. I painted them with acrylic paints.






Vintage Ballerina
I wanted soft, feminine, and elegant for my ballerina image.  I grabbed the Blue Fern Frame.  In my opinion, this is such an elegant and delicate piece of chipboard.   

I kept it simple by painting it with a sandy cream acrylic, dabbed with white and inked the edges dark brown.

The Martin House - Inkido


Inkido Monday...here to share the new Inkido collection, some artwork and a photo.



This is a photo I took of a Martin birdhouse in North Carolina.  We almost caused a car accident when we saw this magnificent human sized birdhouse in someone's backyard.  Martins are known as mosquito eaters.  Must be this homeowner has a giant pesty insect problem based on the size of this birdhouse.  And, yes, that is a door for a human to walk through.

My inspiration for this page is that birdhouse.   I wanted to get the look and feel of the old peeling paint on the birdhouse structure.  I used a piece of 12x12 cardboard that I cut from an old box.  If you way an easy way to peel paper off cardboard, just get it wet and let the water soak in a little.  The paper separates easily.  I opted to leave some of the paper on for texture.  (The actual photo is posted below.)

Here are some of the divine Inkido products I used to crate this page.  I also used Beautiful Memories - Blue Flowers paper SDM12471 as well, not shown below.





Inkido has these really cool Star pins shown below.  They worked really well for sticking into my thick cardboard.  I bent them a little too after sticking them in the cluster. I gave them more "lift" by bending them.


Here is a great shot  of the Inkido lace trim that I selected.  I stained it with brown stain and then coated it with glossy crackle paint.  It makes the ink colors very rich.  I also did that with the edges of my cardboard and the Inkido Bling orange crystal gems.  Everything got slathered in glossy crackle paint.




Thanks for looking here.

First Communion Cards Using Inkido


Happy Monday.  I am here to here to share a Monday with you using Inkido Beautiful Memories Collection. 





It is the season for First Communion where I live.  I decided to make some cards because the Angel paper from the Beautiful Memories collection is absolutely perfect to convey the spirit of the wonderful event.


I used these Inkido products below as well as papers form the Spring Time Collection for this card: - Butterflies in the Sky and Vintage Butterflies for the background of the card. 

I used some seam binding for my ribbon and misted it with Dylusions Lemon Zest and then Dylusions White Linen mist to tone down the yellow.   I thought the yellow would be a good accent color for my card and for my Inkido Cherry Blossom flowers and creamy yellow Inkido Hortensia.  

Gosh such gorgeous papers to use as the foundation for my inspiration.

This is my second card.  I gave it to my niece for her First Communion.  I am her God Mother so it was very fitting.


These are the Inkido products that were used on this card.  



Here is a close up of the cluster on the card where you can get a better view of the pretty pearl heart pins and the white leaves.  I inked the edges of the leaves with a delicate pink color.  

I love the little white leaves that also remind me of little angel wings here.



Thanks so very much.  The new collection is rolling out the door so visit Inkido's blog soon and you will see exciting creations with these great papers.

Mother's Day Card Set - Inkido

Happy Monday.  Hope this will be a great week.  I'm here to remind you that mother's day is coming up this Sunday, 12th of May.

I offer my condolences for all those who have lost their mother.  May we remember them lovingly.
I celebrate all those moms and grandmothers who still dote on us, love us, call us, and maybe even bake cookies for us or a very favorite meal.  YUM.

If you are a new mother - a giant Happy Mother's Day!  I hope you are treasured and treated Queenly on your special day.


I created a card set using wonderful, romantic Inkido products.  This is a card and a tag to stick into a plant.  My mom loves plants so I usually buy her a big, full, flowery plant.  I simply used some cardboard for the back of my tag, and stuck a wooden skewer into the cardboard.  This will be stuck into my plant like in the photo below:


 This is my plant tag.  I really don't know what to call it -so I guess plant tag will do nicely.
As you can see, it has cardboard in the back and a ton of inking around the edges.  You can also see the wooden skewer sticking out of the bottom.

Here are some of the Inkido products I used in making my project.




Here is the card:
I included the Nested Circle chippy from Blue Fern Studios for accent.   I painted it with Adirondack paint in a soft Sandal creamy color and then inked the edges and stamped over the top.



Thanks so much for looking and have a wonderful week.
