Little Red n Wilf - Sheepki Designs, coloured pencil, gel plate, stencil

May's challenge for the Sheepki Designs blog is For The Girlz! My inspiration this month features Little Red and Wilf coloured with Prismacolor pencils on kraft MiTientes.

Sweetness - Christmas, glitter stamping, gel plate, stencil

Crystalline snowflakes remind me of sugary candy so I glittered snowflakes from Kraftin' Kimmie on a background made with Kraftin' Kimmie ink in pinks and stencil on a gel plate for a Christmas card of sweetness.

Oliver & Olivia - Sheepski Designs, alcohol ink on Gel Press with Nuvo alcohol markers

A new year and a new month! I am happy to still be a designer for Sheepski Designs. This month's blog challenge is Square Cards. For my inspiration project, I used Oliver and Olivia, pairing them with an alcohol ink background created with a Gel Press and Nuvo alcohol marker colouring.

Gel Press with Alcohol Ink

I have become addicted to the Gel Press. The gel plate can do amazing things. I wanted to have a unique background so turned to the Gel Press and alcohol inks to create some.

Snowflakes - gel plate with stamping

I love winter and I love this stamp set from Kraftin' Kimmie. I used Kimmie hybrid inks with a gel plate, stamping the snowflakes on the gel plate before printing, to make the background.

Wrapping - gel plate stamping, stencilling

Wrapping presents can bring great joy, especially when the scissors seem to shape the paper on their own. I used Cosmic Shimmer paste on a gel plate to print this stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Witchin' - gel plate stencilling, coloured pencil, embossing

Magic! My Halloween card features a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set, stencilling with a gel plate and Pebeo acrylics, and Prismacolor pencil colouring.

Autumn Blessings - gel plate, stencil

Autumn is a time of blessings. My card features a stamp, stencil, inks, and enamel dots from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps with dies from Spellbinders.

I decided to showcase Leaves Are Falling, using the boy and his pumpkin and pup, and pair it with last year's Grateful Pumpkins. I used a gel plate and stamping for the background and, once again, ink watercolour for the image. For more information on how I put it together, check out my detail post: https://rijacki.blogspot.com/2019/09/pumpkin-spice-detail-kraftin-kimmie.html.

Inside, I added a sentiment from each set and a pumpkin from Grateful Pumpkins.
