Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from the Paper and Stitch Blog......I fell in love with the assorted colors in this amazing bouquet with her lavender dress and used the colors to make a background using the Wrinkle Free Distress Technique. I used coral, aqua, purple, and pink ink......the ink pads were dotted randomly onto a craft sheet, spritzed with water, then mopped up with a panel of watercolor paper. Once the panel was dry, it was cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies and the ODBD Custom Big Balloon Die was cut out of the rectangle. The sentiment from 'Celebrating You' was stamped in a repeating pattern onto a white panel, matted in coral. The layered '2' was cut out with the ODBD Custom Large Numbers Dies and the tiny hearts were cut out with the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies. Coral baker's twine was added to the balloon.
I didn't have any large gift bags other than plain, so I used the ODBD Custom Large Alphabet Dies to add our niece's name and made a heart stencil using the ODBD Custom Layering Hearts Dies. Since we live 40 minutes from anywhere, sometimes you have to improvise when you can't get to a store!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from a scrapbook projects Pinterest board.....I fell in love with this cool page because of the repeated (stamped?) background, pennant flags, and fun layout with the die cut words. I chose a photo of me from last month on our 25th anniversary cruise....I was enjoying my cuppa joe while relaxing on a bench in Central Park on the ship. I started by stamping the sentiment from 'I Love Coffee' many times onto a tan piece of designer paper from the ODBD Ephemera Essentials Paper Collection (The polka dot paper is also from this collection). The stamping alone was a bit plain as is, so I created a reverse mask and sponged red into each heart. Here is a list of the other dies used in my 6x6 scrapbook page: ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies, ODBD Custom Mini Stitched Hearts, ODBD Custom Alphabet Dies, ODBD Custom 'Faith, Hope, and Love' Dies (unfortunately are now retired). I will also be submitting this to the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop.
Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,
