Penguin Palace Challenge #36

 This month, the Penguin Palace Challenge is a sketch challenge.

Here is my take on the sketch.

I used the Penguin Palace Plaid Floral Fun Stencils 360° set, and inked it up with Gina K. Designs Sea Glass, Light Carnation and Wild Dandelion ink. I was really happy with the blend of colours where they overlapped.

The sentiment is from the Penguin Palace An Amazing Friend stamp set. I added a black layer behind it, attached it to the main layer, added a black layer to that and then adhered it all to a white card base.

Feathery Sympathy Card

The challenge this month on the Gina K Designs and Stamp TV Friends Facebook page is called Multi-Color Inking. 

For this challenge, we need to take a solid or chunky stamp, or stamps, and ink them up with more than one colour to create a gradient look. I used the Fancy Feather stamp set and dies, with Light Carnation and Peach Bellini ink, Sweet Corn and Applemint ink, and Sea Glass and Lovely Lavender ink. The sentiment is from the Natural Silhouettes stamp set, with Obsidian Amalgam ink. 

I layered the die cuts over the stamped images, attached a black layer and then adhered it to a white card base.

All of the stamps, dies and inks are from Gina K. Designs.

April Scor-Pal Project

This month, I have a project called Bread Box. You can use it to hold a small loaf of bread, or sweetbread. It is a great way to give a little gift.

Supplies:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

The Stacker

8 1/2" x 11" piece of heavy cardstock (I only had a white piece, so I sponged some colour on one side.)

patterned paper to decorate (2 pieces 2" x 2 3/4", and 2 pieces 2" x 5 1/4")

decorative scissors, or decorative strips of paper for 1/2" sides

ribbon

Step 1: Place the cardstock in your Scor-Pal and score at 2 3/4" on each side. If one side is coloured, place it up when you are scoring. Flip the cardstock over, and score at 1/2" on each side.

  Step 2: Referring to the picture, cut along the solid lines to cut off the corners and create the tabs on the ends.

 Step 3: Fold along all the score lines, placing the bump inside the fold.

 Step 4: Add patterned paper to the sides. You can cut the edges of the 1/2" pieces with decorative scissors, or add a decorative strip of paper. This is on the underneath of the paper, but you can see it on the finished project.

 Step 5: Add Scor-Tape to the flaps, remove the backing, fold the flaps in, and bring the end up to make the box.

Step 6: Decorate your mini loaf as you wish. I tied a ribbon around mine, but you could also add a tag, or a die cut or punched image. You can also tie a ribbon around the box for a festive look.
