Vannessa's Inspiration Post - Saturday 22nd July 2017

Good evening and huge apologies from me that this inspiration post is so late today! I have just had no time this week to get my card done as finishing off school for the end of term has been manic! As I have now left my school as well I have had to pack everything up to take home with me and now I cannot get into my spare room at all for bags and boxes full of books, folders and other teacher related stuff!

Anyway I finally got my card done today after a very long lie in, which was very much needed! I used the gorgeous Spring Charm and used some old patterned papers from Stampin' Up for my colour combo.

She has been coloured with Copics and you can find out more about her here in my blogpost.

Don't forget to check out all the other gorgeous design team posts this week and why not join in the fun with our challenge this month? There are some fabulous prizes to be won!

Vannessa's Inspiration Post - Saturday 15th July

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps. You may have noticed that this week the DT are all using the same digi stamp, The Tender Angie. We did this a while back and loved all the different colours, styles and techniques we used, so Kym, our DT leader, decided to challenge us to do it again.

And here is my effort! I used some sea themed patterned papers from Stampin' Up and lots of sea life themed dies on this 7.5 inch square card.

She has been coloured with Copics and you can find out more about her here in my blogpost.

Don't forget to check out all the other gorgeous design team posts this week and why not join in the fun with our challenge this month? There are some fabulous prizes to be won!
