Back to Basics........

Basic grey & basic stamping that is.............l thought l would start the week with a post, instead of finishing with one for a change.

This is a technique l have been wanting to try for ages....."acrylic block inking", using one of my acrylic blocks from SU l inked it up with basic grey direct from my ink pad and stamped, it is such a simple way to create a background and can look very effective if you stamp it off once before applying to your cardstock.

If you let it dry off a little before stamping your image on top, it will stop any bleeding of your colours.

This next lot was inspired by 2 "Super Talented" girls, Jodene Tripp & Patrice Easton and their amazing creative minds.

I'm totally in love with Jodene's awesome flower from this weeks Just Add Ink challenge, l went with the SU Blossom party die and created a mini version, combining it with another new Stampin-Up set that we received at Convention .."Creative Elements".
The extended Pillow box is one l had seen on Patrice's blog along with a link to a tutorial, what a really cool idea!
Thanks girls for the constant inspiration you provide!

All products used are Stampin-Up.

" Thanks again for stopping by" & have great week.
