New Challenge at Inkspirational!




HI friends!
I'm more than one day late with my Inkspirational DT card, sorry about that! I got confused with weeks and thought our previous challenge was still running for another week.. Well, these things happen! :)

The next fortnight we are inspired by the gorgeous photo above. There's many directions you could go to with this photo -music theme, colors, roses, pearls, lace... I went with colors, roses and pearls (if you look at the photo closely you'll see the tiny pearls I embellished the card with!) I've heat embossed my Stampendous image with white embossing powder and "glitter-watercolored" it with a water-filled, run-out wink of stella brush pen. I'm sorry you can't see the glitter in the photo... But the coloring has lovely sparkle IRL! I die cut the panel with a MFT rectangle die with decorative edges. Taking good photos sucks this time of the year... This one is taken in natural light but I tell you, there isn't much light around here right now... And the ones I took with unnatural light look even worse. I anyway hope you can see some details! :)

I'd like to join:

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge: All that Glitters


CAS Watercolour: Birthday


Watercolor Wednesday: All About Occasions




That's all from me now and I hope to see you playing along! Don't forget to visit the blogs of our DT members and our inspiring guests designer Charlotte, who I've just learned lives in Finland as I do! Yay! :)

    This is GORGEOUS! Love your beautiful rose and leaves, Nonni! Wonderful shading adds so much depth to the flower. The vellum sentiment banner is perfect. I googled your sentiment and found out it says "happy birthday". Would love for you to enter your card at our CAS Watercolour challenge - this month is birthday. xx

    Thanks so much for joining us this week and sharing your beautiful rose themed birthday card at the Watercooler Wednesday challenge. Great take on the sketch. I love how you've chosen to keep all the white space and the delicate placement of your pearls. The pink roses are beautifully coloured.

    Wow Nonni, what a stunning card! Your rose is absolutely beautiful and more than does justice to the challenge. The finished result is so much more elegant because you've kept it clean and simple. I wish the sparkle added by the Wink of Stella were visible. I'm sure that in real life it must be dazzling. Thanks so much for joining our Watercolour Wednesday Challenge this week.

    Oh, my, Nonnie, somehow I missed this with my cataract surgery, but I just saw you as the well-deserved Top Pick at CAS Watercolour CC and I had to come for a closer look and congratulate you!! It is a work of art worthy of framing!! Hugs, Darnell
