Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Laura Mackie Papercrafter: Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop,

We our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators

from all over the world sharing ideas and

inspiration with Stampin' Up! Products.

You're currently with me Laura Mackie

a demonstrator from the United Kingdom.

Todays hop theme is 'Pick a Season'

Spring, Summer Autumn or Winter

I choose Winter

here is my card

I saw a beautiful candy cane

love heart treat by fellow demonstrator and

Stampin' Up! Artistan Design Team member Tami Hewlett

she had used real candy canes to create

the treat I loved it and that

was the inspiration behind my card today...

Check out Tami's Blog here

I stamped the two candy canes in Real Red ink

with the Sweet Candy Canes

Stamp set, which I positioned to look like a heart,

I stamped foliage, leaves and holly

from the Christmas Banners Stamp set with

Evening Evergreen and Old Olive Ink.

everything I've used today is listed below.

I added the splats with some white ink

and a paint brush dipped in water,

not forgetting the Brass coloured Flat Jingle Bell,

a bow tied in Linen Thread with

a few shimmery white Seasonal Sequins.

Card Base - Crumb Cake Cardstock

Card layers - Crumb Cake and Real Red Cardstock.

I hope you like my card and it inspires you

to go and get inky,
