Now onto this weeks challenge, where the first prize will be a $10 gift certificate for Inky Impressions. I think this is a really fun one, it will certainly test your creativity.

Use something not usually used for cardmaking

We only want to see card in this challenge, but we want you to use something you wouldn't usually use.  We won't accept ribbon, lace, buttons or other usual embellishments, you need to be far more creative than that!!!  Please point out what you have used, even if you think it is obvious!!!  Our DT have given you some great inspiration.....

Carrie, who has used nail varnish 

Kerry, who has used gauze

Tanya, who has used sweets/candy

Katie, who has used gauze

And this is sadly our last card from Helen, our guest designer for May

Helen has used a page from a map

We can't wait to see all of your beautiful creations. It is not required to use an Inky image, however we would love it if you did. As a thank you, you will receive two entries into the prize drawings. To play along just follow the current theme, add the link to you creation below, and link back to us in your post. If you upload your creation to an on-line gallery please use keyword IIC110. You may combine your challenge with as many other challenges as you would like and you may enter as many times as you like as long as you follow the current theme. If you do not link back to us your entry will be deleted.
