Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to Monday! Today is the 1st Monday of the month and that means a new challenge has started at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. An inspiration photo is provided and you create a project based on your interpretation of the prompt.
The photo this month is:
Aww, how sweet is this photo? It looks like some Love is being shared between the two and since this is the month of LOVE, I've been inspired to create a Valentine's/Friendship card.
Using the Love Letters Layering Stencil Set from Simon Says Stamp, I ink blended a post box and some love letters using various pastel shades of Catherine Pooler inks.
I've gone the extra mile and fussy cut the images, however there are coordinating dies for this stencil set. I've also dry embossed the panels, popped the images, sentiment (which has been heat embossed with Copper fine detail powder) on foam pads and punched the corners of the panels. Lastly, I've added a paper heart doily, a teeny pink bow and clear sequins to finish the design.
Please join us at The Inspiration Station this month. We always love seeing how the photo prompt inspires everyone. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
