The one set Tea-riffic is retired, however the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1249&search=book">Birthday Phoebe</a> set has a set of books that could also work. The sweet cat is from the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1199&search=word+critter">Word Critter: Cats and Dogs</a>. I have used that critter set twice this month!</span></span><br />

I really love working with sketches and this one was fun to alter just a bit to fit the image I was using. This will make a great birthday or father's day card!</span><br />

This feature was a challenge. There were so many amazing pieces of art, however I did find it difficult to find one that really inspired me for a card. That was of course until I started looking through paintings by Claude Monet. From here, I was completely inspired to grab my inks and get a little messy.</span><br />

I tried to recreate the colours and a little of the texture with my Distress ink. I applied the distress ink using the applicator to water colour paper. I then used a paint brush and water to blend the colours, giving it a weathered look.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Every two weeks, there is a new challenge that features a sketch and colour inspiration. Pick the one that inspires you most, or try both for an added challenge.

This month we have a number of talented guest joining us for our May release hop. Sit back, grab a beverage (a Mint Mocha Frappuccino would be yummy) and maybe a pen and paper to joint down an item or two or three for your wish list.</span></span></span><br />

I used my distress inks to create a vibrant background, to show off this fabulous stamp. I also added a few new fun <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_88">gumdrops</a>. The colours are just stunning!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">For my next card, I made a rare masculine card with the Nailed It! stamp set. I don't have a lot of masculine stamps, so when I saw this one, I knew I had to use it. I love all the fun accessories.....tools can be accessories right? Anyway, there are great tools in this set to help create a super fun card!</span><br />

This week I used the darling <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=1641">Scratch Pad</a> and played along with the sketch. Of course my card would not be complete without using my newest favourite paper. That would be the YNS <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=17_90&product_id=1546">Hugs and Kisses</a> paper. Seriously this pad of paper has everything I love!<br />

This week I dug into my stamp stash and grabbed the sweet <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1094&search=tea&page=3">Hammie Coffee and Tea</a>, to go along with the fabulous new <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=17_90&product_id=1621">Crazy for Coffee</a> paper. If you haven't figured out, my inspiration was once again the sketch. These are usually my favourite to work with. I really like finding ways to adapt the sketch and show how you can draw inspiration and still make it your own!<br />

Now, if you have followed my blog or other social media you may know these few things about me! In addition to enjoying crafts, I LOVE my books and COFFEE!!!! If there is a coffee related stamp, I will usually be there ready to ink it up. The fabulous Coffee <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_94">Chick stamp</a> is no exception!!! I am pretty sure that sentiment applies to me. I love the new <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_94">Cool Tags Four</a> dies and of course there is also the amazing <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=17_94">Crazy for Coffee</a> paper.<br />

<br />
Each month the design team is given a special challenge to help show off the new release stamps and dies. The challenge may be seasonal or technique bases, but whatever it may be, you will see a lot of fun projects.<br />
<br />
This month our Designer challenge is called <span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">SHADES OF SPRING!</span><br />
<br />
Shades of spring for me, means vibrant and colourful. I used the new <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=1603">Froggie Friend</a> stamp, along with the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=1609">Little Ledges</a> die, <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=1591">Happy Spring</a> paper and the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=1590">Enchanted Garden</a> gumdrops to create a fun shaker card. I also used the <a href="http://yournextstamp.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=1611">Mini Popcorn box</a> to create a cute little treat holder, which would work as a party favour or thank you gift for someone special!<br />
