Hello and Happy Monday! It was a hot, rainy and humid weekend here so I had an opportunity to work on home projects and design team obligations. I'm beyond ready for a break in the heat, rain and humidity.
Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. Inspiration Photo #36 for this round is:
I was inspired to create a water themed card and remembered I had a stamp set from Whimsy Stamps that I've not opened yet. It's the Life is Cool set and features some lounging Quokka's on their pool floats enjoying a hot and humid day (hmmm..what I should be doing but the rain is cramping my style).
The images have been colored with Prismacolor Pencils, fussy cut and popped on craft foam. The "pool" background is an ink blended panel using 3 shades of Catherine Pooler Inks, spalttered with water, white acrylic gloss spray and shimmer spray.
I've cut a frame using a stitched rectangle die, out of designer card that has a whitewashed wood appearance. The sentiments are part of the stamp set and have been adhered flat to the panel. Lastly, clear droplets have been added for additional interest, adding to the water theme. I should be starting Autumn projects and will start soon, in the meantime I will carry on with Summer!
Please drop by the challenge and enter to win a gift voucher from Whimsy Stamps. We would enjoy seeing how the photo inspires your projects.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
