Inspired by others . . .

Good Evening fellow crafters!

Today I thought I'd play a couple 'Sunday' challenges and after looking through those challenges offered up today over at Feline Playful, this is the direction I headed ... animals, jungle, scenic ... well you'll see what I mean.  I actually created two cards so I'll share them both with you.

INSIDE SENTIMENT

I bought this GinaK set a short wile back and was anxious to ink it up.  And where better to find inspiration than one of GinaK's design team members.  This time I drew inspiration from Theresa Momber (Crafting The Web) and this creation is actually a combination of two of her cards.  I love masking & creating a scene and to tell you the truth ... I just don't do it often enough!!!

Products used on these two cards are:

Stamps - GinaK 'Wild About You', Stampscapes (birds), Just For Fun

Inks - Momento (Cantaloupe, Bamboo Leaves, Tuxedo Black), Colorbox (Rose Coral), SU (Soft Sky), Tim Holtz (Broken China, Frayed Burlap), Stazon (Black)

Accessories -  Eclipse masking, Post It Notes, Sponge Daubers, Spellbinder (Labels 9), Sizzix (656064) leaves, Michaels gingham ribbon, ScorPal

INSIDE SENTIMENT

I think both of these creations will make excellent masculine birthday cards.  Seems you can never have enough masculine creations in your stash.  I also decided to play around with 'score lines' on these creations in  hopes that I could add a little dimension since I can't use my typical flowers & bling!!

The challenges I'd like to enter these cards into tonight are:

Fashionable Stamping Challenge #26 - Let's Get Messy & Inky

Gingerloft Challenge - Silhouette

Here Come The Boys - Jungle Theme

Joanna Sheen Challenge - Animal Crackers

Stampalot Challenge - What's Your Crafty Passion (love creating a 'scene' when I have extra time)

Stamptacular Sunday - To DIE for ... (card #2)

Thanks so much for stopping by and being so kind with your comments!  It truly means the world to me!!  Wishing you each a FABULOUS week ahead!
