Guest Designer for Inkspirational

So glad you stopped by for a visit!

I am very excited and honored to be the Guest Designer for the new challenge at Inkspirational! The cue word for the next two weeks is "Melt"!

My card was inspired by those artworks on Pinterest that I have always admired where they glue crayons on canvases and then heat them until they melt down the canvas.

I used another one of those cool stamps from "Designs by Ryn" and connected the areas between the drops with a fine marker.
Then I colored them using Faber-Castell Polychromos.
Added some Glossy Accents to the drops.
Mounted the panel on a card with a strip of patterned paper from Studio G and foam mounted a heat embossed sentiment from Altenew.

What do you think when you hear the word "melt"? For more inspiration check out what the fabulous Inkspirational Design Team came up with! Hope to see you in the gallery!

Hugs,
Susanne

Watercolor Congrats!

The famous Paulina from Pretty Pink Posh has a watercolor blog hop this weekend. If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I love watercolor techniques. So I am hopping along with this card I made for my German niece who recently finished her Masters in Mathematics. I am so proud of her!

And here is a close up so you can see how real the water droplets look!

Stamps: Designs by Ryn (water droplets), Hero Arts (you did it), Winnie & Walter (congrats)
Other: Inks (Distress Inks), Glossy Accents

I used one of my favorite techniques where you smoosh distress inks on your craft sheet, spritz them with water and then smoosh watercolor paper in it. Then I finally used those awesome water droplets from Design by Ryn . I just love them and think they look so realistic! Especially when you coat them with Glossy Accents! I saw them first on Cornelia's blog Stempelspass . She has made many fantastic cards with them! I thought they were a great symbol for all the hard work (and sweat) my niece did during her years of studying and writing her thesis.
