Photo Inspiration

Please pop over to the blog to see the Photo Shawna has chosen to inspire us.

The Design Team have created some amazing and varied inspiration for you. 

I needed a card for a young girl so made my cdard, with lots of jewels 

and pretty colours.

I used water colour card and sprayed and plodged with several ink sprays

and mica mixes which gives a super glistened finish.

The stamps I used make up the remainder of the card.

Fish, seahorse, foliage, star - Sheena Douglass  - Under The Sea set of stamps

The mermaid is by Crafty Sentiments. Coloured with Promarkers, glitter and jewels.

Everyone can see somthing different in the photo to inspire, what do you see?

#55 Photo Inspiration at ATSM

Hello everyone, well believe it or not it is time for #55 of our challenges at Addicted to Stamps and More 

which is a Photo Inspiration challenge, showing the happy birthday candles above. We are once again delighted to have Melonheads Illustrations as our sponsors, the details of their prize and the wonderful                                          projects from the Design Team are all to be found on the main blog. 

 For my Design Team project i used a piece of black card which was later matted onto a piece of silver mirri then onto a white DL card.  Using Versafine I stamped the candles with a wonderful candle stamp from Whispers -  Do Craft company. There are 30 candles, but this can be used for any age, with a little cutting, either removing or adding more candles. Once stamped I patted various mica powder colours, across the candles, finally adding Glossy Accents to the flames with a small sprinkling of gold glitter, I really wanted the flames to be very bright, hope I've managed.  The Happy Birthday letters, being honest, have been re-cycled from a card I received a few years ago, I kept the letters knowing one day, I would find a use for them. Once again I look forward to visiting you to see how you have been inspired by #55 Photo Inspiration.

Thanks for popping by, your visits and comments are always greatly appreciated. 

Photo Inspiration at MMM

Hello once again from Make My Monday, this week our host is Jan who is challenging us to create a project using the above photo as inspiration, with very pretty pastel and feminine colours for you. My card is below,  I saw lots of elements , I wonder why my eyes were directed to the cupcakes? 

I used pretty pink papers from a Papermania pink Capsule papers. Made the pennants, threaded with a piece of ribbon. The large cake and cupcukes are from a Flippen Women set of stamps of The Dieter. The cake stand is actually a dress form stand from the Jasper set of Steampunk stamps by Kanban. I coloured the cakes with Promarkers and edged the pennants with Tattered Rose Distress Ink. the cherries have been glazed with with Glossy accents. I am really looking forward to see how you have been inspired by the beautiful photo, have fun.

The card below is one I have made. I am truly no artist but with these stamps from Hobby Art you can at least pretend you are a water colour painter.

I used most of the stamps from Coastal Wildlife and a few from Coastal Scene-it. I mainly used Distress Inks as a water colour paint, the chair is a stamp by Mary Hughes. I am looking forward to checking in on your creations to see how you have interpreted the photo, remember all we need is an interpretation, but most of all have fun and enjoy what your doing.

Photo Inspirataion

At Make My Monday we are trying something different for us, Mynette has challenged us to find inspiration not only from a book jacket, but if we need to to take the inspiration from the story of the book. If you pop over to the blog you will find a more detailed explanation and of course the final results from the Design Team of how we were inspired. This is my card......

I decided to make a DL card, in the UK this measures approx 7" high and 3.5" wide, I believe the DL is Doubled Length. It was the pretty blossom on the trees, the blue sky and green grasses which first gave me the idea for my card, along with a new stamp from Crafty Inspirations with a pretty girl wearing a poke bonnet. I first heat embossed with white EP a blossom stamp, then brushed on the blue for the sky, the green for the grass. I coloured the blossom with a light pink, the branches and a few leaves. Stamped some grasses at the base of the card and added a sentiment. I stamped then coloured the lady with Promarkers. 

Stamps used

Blossom - ? maker, Grasses from Inidgo Blu, Lady in Hat from Crafty Individuals, With Love ? source.

Inks used Memento - Tuxedo Black, TH DI Broken China - Blue and Peeled Paint - Green
