Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to August! Wow, we are quickly sneaking up on Christmas (I know, I didn't need to mention that). It's also time for a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. Our inspiration photo gives me Autumn feels, and I'm certain there are many in the Northern Hemisphere that are excited for Autumn, the heat waves have been unrelenting this summer.
Out inspiration photo for August is:
I adore Sunflowers in the Summer, but especially in the Autumn. I have a gorgeous Sunflower Stamp Set from Fun Stampers Journey named "Hello Sunflower" that is perfect for this challenge, as I was completely inspired by the flowers.
I've colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers and cut out the focal image using a stitched nesting die set from Catherine Pooler. The patterned papers are from the "Sunflower Market" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella.
The sentiment is included in the stamp set and has been hand cut into a banner, then popped on foam pads. Lastly, I've added golden faux gems for that extra sparkle and shine.
The Team and I invite you to join us this month at the Challenge Blog and share your inspired projects. Are you ready for Autumn crafting? I definitely am!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
