INK #286Moodboard

At Inkspirational we have a moodboard for you. I was inspired by the speckled eggs and used the distress oxide with the same name and adding spckles with a Dina Wakley mica spray. 

Die cut straws, a flower ephemera and two stamped businnes, everything in soft, natural colors, alyered up in the bottom right corner.

I encourage you to head over to the challenge blog to see what my INK-teamies have made.

TioT - Oh so sweet

Over at Try it on Tuesday we have a new challenge for you - Oh so sweet! Easter bunnies are sweet and perfect for this time of year, so I went with that.

I made the background with different shades of acrylic paint and I used an embossing folder once it was dry.
Stamps are from different stamp sets and I colored the images before fussy cutting all the part.s

INK #285 - Numbers

This time at Inkspirational we want to see numbers! To be honest, I had something very different in mind, then a need for card for a youthful gent's 80th, and this was the result.
I used Tim Holtz number stamps and a snarky cat, dressed up with a bow for the occasion. Numbers were gold embossed and fussy cut, the sentiment is cut out of red mirri card. I love how the balloons turned out, stamped on vellum and decorated with frantage, they look translucent and perfect to create a party feel. I added silver string for the cat to hold them. Background was made with black and gold watercolor paints.

TioT - Go green

Over at Try it on Tuesday we have a new challenge for you - Go green. There are so many possibilities with this theme. I have used green in different ways on my card:

-  First, as the theme. Spring is approaching, nature will bloom and people with green fingers (not mine) will do their planting business outdoors.
- Second, as color. I used plant stamps and a leaf wreath stamp from Altenew and those required the use greens.
- Third, as recycling as I used bookpages from an old book to stamp all the greeneries on. 

I did lots of fussy cutting as the pots and animal life were stamped on scrap pieces of papers.
