Serendipity

 

Greetings! Time once again for another challenge over at Eclectic Ellapu! The Pink Team selected "Florals" for their theme. I hope you will stop over and check out all the beautiful projects and be inspired to create one of your own to share with us.

 

Mine began with a water color panel. I laid a Stencil Girl Stencil on the panel and sprayed Sunshine Yellow and Pink Bubblegum Dylusions Ink Sprays through the stencil.  I picked up the stencil, turned it over and smooshed it around the rest of the panel to use up the excess in and fill in the panel.  The image and sentiment from Tim Holtz for Stampendous were stamped on scrap card, trimmed and water colored and added to the panel. The panel was matted and added to a card base. Thanks so much for stopping by.  Your visits and comments make my days! Best, Yvonne

Summer Fun

 

Greetings! It is time once again for a new challenge over at Inkspirational! This time we have a word prompt of "Dip."

 

 

All sorts of ways go with this word prompt! Being a lover of the beach, you can guess the direction I took! Just received this set of images from Cherry Pie Art Stamps and had fun stamping and watercoloring. I hope you will stop over and see all the gorgeous makes by the rest of the design team and then make one of your own to share with us! Thanks for stopping by. I always appreciate your visits and comments.  Best, Yvonne

 

Cityscape

 

 

Greetings! It's time for the latest challenge over at Inkspirational! As you can see from above, it is a Photo Inkspiration.  Isn't it cool? My design team sisters have really come up with some exceptional cards that they were inspired to create. I hope you will consider crafting a card or other project of your own and submit it to share with us.

 

My card was created using stamp images from Stampotique. As I stamped the images onto hot press watercolor paper, I simply could not resist the urge to pull out my TomBow Markers and water color a bit. I love the edgy feel of my design team sisters' cards, though. But the color is already laid down! Thanks so much for stopping by. Best, Yvonne

 

Under the Sea

Greetings! It is once again time for another challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenge.  This time, the theme is "Under the Sea." I hope you will stop over to FSC to check out the gorgeous pieces the rest of the Design Team dreamed up to inspire you and then consider creating a piece of your own to share with us. One lucky participant will be selected to win a gift voucher from our sponsor FlonzCraft. Please remember that we are a stamping challenge. You will find complete rules over at FSC.

For my own piece, I began with a water color panel and added water colors in multiple shades of blue and green.  I then stenciled several shades of Dylusions paints through a Stencil Girl Stencil. The colors were a bit vivid so I sprayed the whole panel with Linen Dylusions Ink Spray. I stamped various stamps by Oxford Impressions onto tissue paper and collaged them onto the panel. A few shells were added for dimension. Thanks so much for stopping by. Best, Yvonne

Celebrate

 

Greetings friends! Back today with my inspiration piece for the latest challenge over at Inkspirational! This time around, we have a colour challenge:  anything goes with red!

 

 

I often marvel at how a card comes together for me. I climb the stairs to my art room, thinking about a stamp I have that is calling out to be inked and before you know it, voila, its done! I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the design team dreamed up to inspire you and that you will share a piece of your own with us!

 

The images and sentiment for my piece are from Art Journey and the background is simply a paper napkin that I tore into pieces and collaged onto water color paper.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Leaping through the Poppys

 

Greetings friends! I am back today with a card I created for the newest challenge for Eclectic Ellapu. For the month of July, it's "Anything Goes" for the Pink Team.  I was in the mood to pay with napkins so I tore up a guest towel and layered it onto a water color panel.  I had some scrap black and white paper laying on my table so I added it, as well.  I decided not to fill in all the white space and instead stenciled polka dots with embossing paste.  The focal image by Unity Stamps is one of my favorites. I added a touch of lace and a bow to give the card a bit more texture.  I know you will enjoy seeing what the rest of the design team dreamed up for you and I hope that you will consider sharing a piece of your own for our challenge. Thanks for dropping by. Best, Yvonne
