New Challenge at Inkspirational!


Hi guys!
We have anew challenge for you at Inkspirational:


I hope to see you joining us! This time the talented Cathy is our guest designer. Play along and one day you could be asked to join us as GD too! As always the regular DT has made inspirational samples for you as well. 

I had a bit of a trouble with this word prompt: English is not my mother tongue so sometimes it can be hard with some words. When this happens I turn to Thesaurus.com for synonyms and words related to the word prompt... And this is what I did this time too. I found out that one could for example think of a snap shot or just something that's quick and easy... And I combined these things in my card. I used a stencil that leaves a white frame (like in a polaroid) and just in general stenciled cards are the fastest ones to make! Also I already had the strip of vellum with white heat embossed sentiment ready in my stash so this card came together in no time at all! In addition to DI:s for inking I used plain water, white gold pearl water color and white acrylic paint for splattering some "snow" to my stenciled design. The rectangle is cut with a Winnie and Walter die. 

I'd like to join:
ABC Christmas Challenges: P is for Plain (I hope this simple one layer design will do as plain! I've attached the stenciled panel to a card base but basically it's a one layer) 

Thanks for popping by and I can't wait to see what you'll create!

  2. Ohh my goodness as I read again I realised this is a stencil, not a die cut, looks so sharp and defined I could have sworn, my apologies. Amazing one layer

  6. How fun! I love this creative shape and the negative tree. Your colors are beautiful. When I first saw the card I thought it was a snow scene and I thought you were referencing a "cold snap." So, it seems your card has several "snap" meanings! Very beautiful!
