Sorry I've been AWOL again. I haven't been stamping much (not having a desk light is putting a huge crimp on my mojo), and completely forgot that I had some stuff already photographed, some even editted!
On Sunday night Fiona hosted the Inklings Cyberstamp for June. The first challenge she posed to us was a sketch challenge. I decided pretty quickly what I wanted to do, but the doing it took much longer... I jsut couldn't decided which way the colours would look best for the stamping... instead of just getting on and trying them out I wasted a lot of time agonising over it and didn't get my card done on the night! I then decided that I'd just go ahead and make two copies of the card so I could use both colour ways. Now that they're both done, I do think my initial feelings were correct, that it would look better with the Pacific Point on the outside but the other is still fine!

Kristina's latest colour challenge had my eyes bugging out of my head as soon as I saw it - they're an awesome combination! While I was tempted to make another boys card, I went with something non-descript, using another set that hasn't seen enough ink since I got it. I went back to some retired colours and accessories for this one too: Soft Sky for the blue because it worked much better than Bashful Blue (too blue) or Baja Breeze (too dark); and all ribbons are actually retired ones! All stamping is clear embossed, and I had intended to get the bleach out again and remove colour in a few areas, but in the end I let things be. The layout is based on AmyR's latest sketch, and below I have included a side-on shot so you can see how I built up the main motif to give it dimension without too much bulk.
