It's time for Challenge #132 at Your Next Stamp!

This time we want you to create your own background!

  

I love making backgrounds with Distress Inks, and I don't think to do it very often, so this challenge was a good reminder!

I started by sponging my background with Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, and Broken China Distress Inks. I spritzed it with a bit of water, because I just like the effect! Then, I used the Falling Stars Die to cut out the starry sky, and backed it with some glitter cardstock. I colored the cute astronaut from the Space Boy Stamp Set with copics, and popped him up in the sky.

  

    

Not sure the glitter really shows in the picture, but it looks awesome in real life!

Have you seen the new "FREEBIES" section on the Tiddly Inks Blog?? 

I was happily surprised to find a few new-to-me images, like this sweet little girl with her hedgehog!

   

  

Perfect for a Valentine, or just to let someone know you're thinking of them!

I colored them up with a blend of Copics and Prismacolor Pencils, and arranged the image on a simple layout with some BoBunny Double Dot papers. 

   

   

Apologies... this one has been on my desk for a couple of weeks, and I've misplaced the list of Copics and Pencils used for coloring.

But, they're CUTE, right??

  

If you have a Tiddly creation, we'd love for you to share it with us in the Tiddly Inks Facebook Group.

   

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

 

There is still a whole week left to play along in the current challenge at Your Next Stamp!

Our theme is "Share the Love" and I've got some sweet inspiration for you today!

     

This cute panda from the Love and Smiles set is one of my favorites to color up for a quick Valentine.

 

   

I created my background with Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Distress Inks, spritzed it with a bit of water, and then cut it with the Heart Panel Die. I placed the stitched heart from the Scrapworks Mini Sunburst Die Set behind the panda, and added a sentiment from the Cool Tag Banner Sentiments.

    

  

Panda - T8, T6, T4, T2 and C00

Ears - RV000, RV0000

Balloon - RV23, RV21, RV10, RV00

  

I hope you are inspired to play along!

It's time for our first challenge of the New Year at YNS! The theme is

 Easy peasy... just use the color blue on your creation! 

  

I've used the Cool Winter Cats stamp and die sets to make a simple little 6x6 scrapbook page.

  

  

My blue paper is from the BoBunny Winter Getaway 6x6 Pad... perfect with this little skier! I created a journaling tag to tuck behind the photo using the Cool Tag Three Die Set. The year was stamped using Blueberry Breeze Ink and the Mini Letters and Numbers Stamp Set.

      

  

This cool cat was colored with Copics, and popped up to leave room to adhere a photo of my kiddos right behind him.

  

   

Cat -T5, T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Skis - B29, B26, B23, B21

Tongue - R30, R000

   

I hope you are inspired to find some BLUES in your crafty stash and join the fun!

Our challenge ends Thursday, January 23rd at midnight, EST.

It's time for another challenge at Tiddly Inks, and although this will be the LAST challenge going forward, it is also a Design Team Call for the upcoming term!

I am linking up my entry to be considered for another term... fingers crossed! I feel like I only just got started!

  

I created a card using this cute Wryn from the Summer Fun Caravan set.

Not a typical card for this time of year, but after a stressful few days, I needed to create my own sunshine! :)

   

    

I colored her up with Copics, then did some careful cutting... I love to fussy cut, and I think the details in these images really pop when they're cut out!

She is popped up next to the sentiment on a panel sponged with Tumbled Glass Ink.
