Hello, everyone! This month I’m joining Altenew in hosting the May 2018 Inspiration Challenge!
The inspiration photo for this month’s challenge is of a card from last year that I created featuring the Floral Shadow Stamp Set. There are so many great colors to choose from in this project, but we’ve decided to highlight the pink, aqua, and teal for the challenge.
Here’s what I came up with using this photo as my inspiration:
For the background, I blended Dew Drops & Aqualicious Crisp Dye Inks using the Stone Wall Stencil.For the floral images, I used the Garden Treasure Stamp Set. I stamped the blooms with Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious,& Razzleberry inks. I also used a bit of Autumn Blaze Crisp Dye Ink for the stamen in the blooms. For the leaves, I used Bamboo& Parrot inks. I used the coordinating Garden Treasure Die to cut the floral images out and pop them up onto the ink–blended background.For the sentiment, I used the Flower Arrangement Stamp Set. I stamped the “hello” and then used the coordinating Flower Arrangement Die to die cut the sentiment. I die cut four more white word die-cuts and adhered them together using spray adhesive to make a sturdy, dimensional word die–cut.
I’d love for you to join the challenge for a chance to win a $30 gift certificate. You can check out all the details over on the Altenew blog. Thanks so much for stopping by!
