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!

Hello! My post today is for a new to me challenge called the Love to Create Challenge where the theme is " Anything Creative/Mixed Media Challenge."  My friend, Tracy Evans, inspired me to join in with her beautiful card, which you can see here.  Tracy's post encouraged me to get out my Pan Pastels and use them in a mixed media project.  I began by adding pink, yellow and blue hues of PPs to my card base.  I next stenciled with Worn Lipstick through a Tim Hotlz stencil. Then I splattered Black Dr. PH Martins India Ink.  Washi tape came next.  The focal image by Deep Red Rubber Stamps was stamped with Archival Ink.  The sentiment was a complimentary stamp from Art Journey Stamps. The stamped images were matted with black paper and splattered with water colors. I decided to tuck a bit of yellow lace and add some buttons and a bit of seam binding in homage to these beautiful old souls.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hugs, Yvonne
