MINE ! IPC 115

Who is ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!

Here it is!

I honestly don’t know where my ideas come from.

When an idea gets stuck in my head, I 
must see it through.

This was the case with this card.

I knew for this challenge I did not wat to do “normal hearts”.

Thumbing through my Newton stamp set I came across my Gull Friends Stamp Set

Then I thought to myself seagulls + sunshine.

I grabbed my Sunscape Stencil and inked up a background

of sunlight using Squeezed Lemonade and Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I also die cut the bottom “sea” part of my card using

the Sea Borders Die Set and some light blue cardstock.

I then colored in my seagulls to match the colors that I had used already.

It is about this time that I realized that challenge was about HEARTS

 and I had NO HEARTS ON MY CARD!!!

In a panic, I started going thru my Newton Stamps looking

 for hearts that would make sense with what I created. 

I found the It’s a Plan Stamp Set with the perfect solution for my dilemma,

Those cute hearts all in a row!

I would stamp my hearts on my sun to “radiate love”

I used Scatted Straw Distress Ink and because I am a messy stamper,
i taped the bottom half so i can stamp the hearts just where i wanted them.

I also stamped in a heart above my seagulls and colored that in with red Nuvo Drops.

I attached all this card together using a base that was die cut from the

Frames Squared Die Set.

Finally, I die cut out the word “mine” using the Essential Alphabet Die Set.

I was just going to keep the letters white, but it looked BORING.

I took a chance, taped my letters down and inked up

the bottom half with the same ink I used for my sun above.

I liked the results and added them to the front of my card to mimic a wave pattern.

And… that is my take on hearts!

 Now it is your turn!

I can’t wait to see what everybody creates.

Don’t for get to tag us on social media.
