Think Spring IPC 93

It’s a SPRING theme for the current Inky Paws Challenge!

I just love spring!

This is my first spring in Texas, I am excited to see

all the wildflowers that are starting to appear.

With all this color in mind, I came up with this card.

The feature of this card is a stamp from the

 Loads of Blooms Stamp Set.

If I could ride a bike, this is how I envision myself.

Pedaling down the street with a basket full of flowers.

I kept the colors cheerful and bright.

For the background,

 the Bold Blooms Stencil was my choice.

Just an extra pop of flower to make this card complete.

Now it is your turn.

You have one more week to show us your version of Spring!

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs

May Your Days Be Filled IPC 92

Where does the time go?

We are at the second half of the Inky Paws Challenge

Here is the sketch we have for you.

We are having some dreary days here in Texas.

Time to brighten things up bit.

I had a blast creating this card, and it all starts with the background.

Using Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, I blended the Distress Ink 

together using brightercolors merging into a lighter color at the bottom.

Next step, the background element.

This comes from the Small Postage Edged Rectangle in the Framework Die Set.

Die cut out a piece of white cardstock, then line up the edges TO THE RIGHT,

 running the die thru the machine again to create the element.

Using the Loads of Blooms Stamp Set, I stamped and die cut out my images.

Using Sharpies and Distress Ink, I colored everthing using bright colors.

My final touch is the “grass” at the bottom. Using Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, 

The “grass” is inked on white cardstock and die cut

using the Land Boarders Die Set.

I added my sentiment, assembled my card,

and add some flowers for color.

I love the way this card came out!  

What fun it was to find a way to interpret this

sketch in such a colorful way.

I hope this inspires you to be bold and have some fun with the sketch.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
