New Challenge at Inkspirational!


Hi guys!
We have a new challenge for you at Inkspirational, word prompt "Urban"!


At the beginning I was a bit lost with this one but then I remembered the fantastic stamped image I've received from blog friend Pia -isn't it gorgeous! It's from Penny Black and absolutely beautiful. I've colored the image with Copics (well, only partly as you can see!) and also stamped on it... My inspiration for this came from The Heart Desires monthly challenge


See the square down left? The dress and the handbag? My blue is a bit more blue than turquoise ( I had checked the photo a couple of days earlier and forgot about the shade...)  but I so loved creating this dress! I found a small stamp from a Uniko stamp set (a "flower building"-stamp) that I'm using here just to give pattern to my stylish Venetian lady's dress. The inspiration photo does not have any white dots but I'm hopeless, I just have to put them everywhere... :) I used the same red patterns on the clutch, there it's a tone on tone look and looks pretty fab there too! The sentiment is Finnish for "to a dear friend"and I hope this qualifies as an entry to Penny Black Saturday Challenge: Weddings, Anniversaries and All things Love. To me friendship definitely is "a thing of love"! 

I hope you'll now head on over to Inkspirational Challenge blog for more DT inspiration. Our guest designer this time is Aileen who is a fantastic card maker whose blog I've followed already for some time! 

Happy crafting!

Your creativity is sky-rocketing of late, my friend; you're moving - by leaps and bounds - from amazing to full-on stellar! I think something abundantly magical has been unleashed and I'm thrilled for you and, especially for us, who have the pleasure of seeing your inspiring gems!

  14. Her outfit, colored and stamped, looks fantastic! You were right to leave the rest of the image uncolored for that outfit to really stand out. Nice touch adding the sequins for a little sparkle and shine too.
