INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB277 TRAY

Happy Thursday! 

Another week has flown by and it's time for the Inspired By Challenge...

Here is this weeks #IB277 inspiration photo and sketch...

My inspiration came from the colors, the water, the flowers and the sketch.

I started my card by using the PTI - Bitty Big: True Black DP as my base. The main focal point was created with the Altenew - Beautiful Day Bundle. At last I added the Silver Halfback Pearls and the sentiment. 

Hope you will join us?!? Please stop by the INSPIRED BLOG for all the details. Wishing you a wonderful  day! ~SL~

INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB239 LILACS

Happy Thursday!

We are having a very pretty Inspired By Challenge for you....

Here is the #IB239 inspiration photo along with a sketch for you to try...

                             

                              

My inspiration came from the colors - Lilac, Green, White and Black.

I've been dying to make a black card stock based card...and this challenge was just perfect to execute my thought. I grabbed the fabulous Beautiful Day Stamp & Die Bundle from Altenew. My layered Black CS was embossed with a retired PTI Cover Plate. Next, I stamped the main images onto the Black CS and embossed them with White EP. To add more interested I splashed White Ink on the CS and added the color stamped images in the center. At last I added the sentiment and added Silver Pearls.

Now it's your turn! Please stop by the INSPIRED BY BLOG to read about all the details and of course to check out all of the teams creations! Wishing you a fabulous day! ~SL~

Happy Thursday!

We have a new challenge over at the Inspired By Blog....hope you'll have a chance to play long?!?

Here is this weeks #IB204 inspiration photo....

And a sketch for you to try....

My card was inspired by the colors and the sketch.

Hello everyone!!!

We are inviting you to join us for a very special blog hop!

Altenew invited the COLOUR Q to be part of The Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop, along with many other fabulous challenge blogs!

The new Colour Q colors will hopefully make it easier  to get your creative juices flowing!

Here are this weeks CQC359 colors.....and the new INSPIRED BY ALL THE LITTLE THINGS #23 challenge helped my creative juices as well.....

My flower image was inked in the SU Primrose Petal Ink. First I stamped it on a side paper and then on the matching Beautiful Day Flower Die. To achieve the color contrast I took the flower bloom outline stamp and inked it again in the SU Primrose Petal Ink. To finish off the flower image I took the SU Summer Starfruit Ink and a Blender Pen and gently colored in the pollen dust...voila!
