Inspired
Greetings! It is time for a new challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge. This time around, the theme is "Swirls." It's a funny thing, a few years back swirls were all the rage. I was beside myself until I could afford to get a set. And as luck would have it, by the time I bought them, swirls were pretty much passe. But, I had them for this challenge, so all is not lost and I am so glad swirls were chosen for the theme, because I really do like them! For my card, I had a vision of swirls all around the perimeter of the card with Dylusion Spray Inks in the center. Once that was complete, I decided to stamp these glorious figures by Stampington and Co. in various shades of Distress Ink, trim and distress them with Pumice Stone DI and mount them to the card front. I added Tim Holtz Tissue Tape to the card front, painted a heart die cut with Picket Fence Distress Stain and distressed the edges with Peacock Feathers DI. I resisted added a lot of embellishments to my card and in the end settled for some Black Liquid Pearls and a yellow feather. I hope you will pop over to FSC to see what the entire Design Team has to inspire you to make and submit a creation of your own! Thanks so much for dropping by today. Hugs, Yvonne

Hello Yvonne,
This card has a wonderful background and holds the eye, until you are drawn towards the figures, and how the Yellow pops! I am glad you resisted adding too many elements, as your feather and heart along with the mini sentiment is just enough, your swirls on your background create the movement which juxtapose beautifully with your static forms.
I really like this card.
Smiles :-)

Hi
I so like the mix of contemporary style figures with the more traditional style of the swirls and the swirls definitely add a sense of the dynamic to the images.
Wonderful card Yvonne.

I love your take on the swirl theme. There's something about this card that makes it so pleasant to look at - I can't quite put my finger on it, but I like this being a bit different, and all the elements just work so perfectly together. Love it!
I LOVE this, the collagestamping, the tape used around the focal image, it's perfect!
