Inque Boutique Sale - This Saturday!

We are having a SALE! Tomorrow (Saturday, June 28) Everything Inque will be on sale in the store for 20% off! What a great opportunity to get these fabulous stamps and paper pads at a discount! All you have to do to receive the discount is put in the coupon code AMAZING at checkout! It's that simple!

I made this card with Inque Boutique's Birdi Mini stamp set, and their Memoirs Paper .

The Mini Birdi frame was stamped on pale blue cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black ink. I embossed it with JudiKins Black Opal embossing powder. I couldn't capture the sparkle of the embossing powder in my photo...but it's just gorgeous!

I stamped the bird and embossed with Detail Clear embossing powder, then cut it out. Using a Prisma colored pencil I shaded the bird a bit, then popped it up on the card using Scotch Foam Tape to give it some dimension.

The designer paper is from Inque Boutique's Memoirs 6 x 6 paper pad. The ribbon is May Arts silver grosgrain . And the three little brads on the lower right are Pearlized Mini Brads .

Thanks to each of you for your birthday wishes. I had a great day!

Oh....and did you notice my new watermark? My talented friend Sara from Tweaks and Designs made one for each of the design team members. If you need any graphics work done, or a watermark, I highly recomment Sara. She's the best there is!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your Friday is fabulous!

Thank you very much....

Yes...this card says it all. Thank YOU very much, Leslie Miller . I know I don't have to tell you who she is. Her name is so well known in the stamping community because her work is so awesome!

I received this GORGEOUS card from Leslie with such a kind and sweet note inside. Honestly, it really doesn't get any better than this for me. She is such a warm and classy lady, not just in her stamping, but in every way. I couldn't be more pleased and honored to have a Leslie Miller original! It is going in my "cards to treasure forever" box!



The stamp set she used is Inque Boutique's Birdies . You can read all the details about Leslie's card in THIS POST .

Gosh, am I one lucky girl, or what? Now I feel inspired to make something beautiful to send to someone else....just to make them feel as special as I do today.

My sincere and most heartfelt thanks for this beautiful RAK! I will treasure it always.

Thanks to each of you for stopping by tonight. The good news is....it's almost Friday! And I hope yours is a fantastic one!

Flutter By...

This is the first time I've used Inque Boutique stamps, and I must say I am TOTALLY impressed!

Their stamps are unmounted, and the index is printed on the back of the stamp, so when you adhere it to your clear mounting block, you can see the index for stamping.

Another thing about their stamps that I LOVE is that they are already cut out for you. Since I don't like cutting rubber, that's a BIG plus to me!

Included in each Inque Boutique stamp set is a black cushioned stamp pad. DO NOT throw it away. It is their secret ingredient. And trust me...it IS necessary to stamping a perfect image! In fact, it would be great to use with all your clear and unmounted stamps.

The stamp set I used to create this card is Flutter By Butterfly . I really like that stamp set. It has so many great images.

I stamped on watercolor paper, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. If you haven't tried JudiKins Embossing Powder , you simply must. It is of the finest quality, and that makes such a difference!

The image was colored using Tombow markers. I distressed the edges of the main panel using my Paper Distresser , then sponged the edges with distress ink using an Ink Sweeper .

The sentiment was stamped and embossed, then cut out using Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio . The ribbon is May Arts Scallop Edge Pink Satin .

Thanks so much for stopping by!
