Hello Friends and Happy Monday! Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. The inspiration prompt this month is a gorgeous sunset/sunrise photo and it can be interpreted in so many ways.
For my team project this month, I shopped my stash and decided to use the "Sittin' Tree" Stamp set from Maymay Made It and Distress Oxide Inks to create a background design that was completely inspired by the scene in the inspiration prompt.
To start, I've ink blended the background using distress oxide inks that I felt would make a nice sunrise/sunset color palette. Once the ink was completely dry, I stamped the images directly on the blended panel. *TIP: Before stamping on a blended background, make certain the ink is completely dry, otherwise you will find yourself stamping and stamping to get a crisp, dark image. Ask me how I know this :)
The ready made sentiment strip is from Simon Says Stamp. These are nice for quick and easy sentiments, all you have to do is trim them. And the black background can be heat foiled too. No bells or whistles were added to the card as I thought the scene was busy enough.
Please stop by the challenge and join in. We always love seeing how the photo inspires everyone. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
