Inspiration Cards

Both of these cards were made for the inspiration challenge at SCS on Saturday. I used this as my inspiration piece.

Check out those dots. My mom gave me a few Sakura glaze pens and I am in love. It's like embossing in a pen. It is hard to tell in the photo, but all those dots are raised and glossy. They dried super fast too.

I made this card first and followed the inspiration more literally. The bird was colored with Koh-i-noor pencils, cut out and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the branch with Certainly Celery ink and then went back and added some low lights with my Koh-i-noor pencils. The background was sponged with So Saffron, Summer Sun and Apricot Appeal.

This one was a looser interpretation of the inspiration. I just got that Martha Stewart lacy leaf punch and had to try it out. The Primas are new, too, from Limelight Papercrafts. They have a great starter pack that comes with matching flowers, ribbon and designer paper, all made by Prima. It came with a ton of flowers, in a variety of colors.

I just got this quote stamp from Unity. Isn't it awesome. They have a lot of fantastic quotes that you that are sold as singles.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your day is wonderful!
