Guest Designer at Inkspirational


Morning!  I'm thrilled to be guest designing at Inkspirational today, where the theme is Bah Humbug! (anything but Christmas).


I'm certainly not done with Christmas yet - still way behind on my Christmas cards, shopping, wrapping - everything!  But I'm happy to take a break and make a birthday card with an oldie but a goodie, Man At Piano by Stamps Happen.  Apparently it's a collectable on eBay.  Seems like I have lots of collectables ;)

I inked the image in Versafine Onyx Black, sloshed some Distress Inks over it, matted it onto a black panel then added the sentiment.

Pop on over to the Inkspirational blog to see what the Design Team have created for the Bah Humbug! theme, get out your non-Christmas supplies and join in.

Thanks for having me, girls!

    I think I mentioned I have this stamp and it certainly is an oldie but goodie. And yet, you have given it such a fresh and contemporary style! Your ink 'sloshing' looks beautifully free-style, and yet the colours etc are so well thought-out that they don't overwhelm the fine lines of the image at all. I love how you mixed the 'fonts' on the sentiment. Wonderful! Thanks so much for being a fantastic Guest Designer at Inkspirational.

    This is totally playing all the right notes, Shirley! as I wake up to my own piano man playing 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas, your card is quite appropriate and, WOW, a collectable all on its own! Merry Christmas, Shirley! xx

    Sorry so late in commenting Shirley, been a bit unwell, but seeing this card makes me smile. What a very cool way to funk up and older stamp. And I adore you used purple for the die. Have a wonderful Xmas x
