Color Inspiration Challenge

Time for another challenge from the
Eureka! Stamps Blog

This week is a "Color Inspiration" challenge

Use the colors in this photo for inspiration to create something lovely.

I chose to use

"Leaf Background" (#26901)

"Lg Tree" (#15302) from

Eureka! Stamps

I stamped the Leaf Background with brown

Color Box Chalk Ink and colored it with

water color crayons.

I stamped the Tree with the same brown ink.

I used Distress Ink and sponged over the image to color the sky.

I then fussy cut the tree and added it to the card with foam tape.

 

I hope you'll be inspired to join in our challenge.

All the particulars are on the

Eureka! Stamps Blog

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

hope to see something you created linked up to the

Eureka! Stamps Challenge.

Come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

 

Great Outdoors

The Great Outdoors!

This is the theme of the

Eureka! Stamps Challenge

this week. Be sure to check out the particulars on the

Eureka! Stamps Blog.

I decided to use 2 images from

Eureka! Stamps

"Lg Tree" (#15302) and

"Leaf Background" (#26901)

I used VersaFine ink for the background image.

I stamped it onto white card stock,

then stamped it again on another piece of card stock.

The second stamping is what I used on these cards.

I wanted it to be a little more subtle.

I then cut a circle from a piece of very light weight paper.

I laid the paper over the background image

and inked the circle with Distress ink. 

Then I stamped the tree image onto the circle.

This panel was then adhered to a card base

that had been inked with the same

Distress ink colors as the circle.

This second card I used the same technique,

but once I had inked the green circle,

I took away the mask and replace it

with the circle that had been cut out

and inked around the circle with yellow Distress ink.

I wanted to give a kind of bright yellow sunny feel to the background.

My daughter likes the second card better,

but I kind of like the first one.

What do you think?

Leave a comment and let me know.

I hope you have been inspired in some way.

Maybe to try a new technique,

try some inking

or just to participate in the challenge.

 

Thanks for stopping by today, come again soon.

 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Cronucopia

Hey there fans!

Today I have a card to show you that I submitted for the 2nd round of the card contest on the Practical Scrappers Blog.

I had to make a fall card and include some kind of twine on it.

I just learned that I didn't make the next round, but that's okay, I like my card anyway and had fun making it.

I chose to use

"Cornucopia" (#16305) and "Leaf Background" (#26901)

both from Eureka! Stamps.

The Cornucopia image is colored with water color crayons.

In this picture you can see how this card opens and that I used the

Leaf Background image on the panels that are attached behind the Cornucopia.

I stamped the Leaf Background onto plain colored paper with VersaMark and used a small brush to brush over it with Gold Mica Powder, which is also sold in the Eureka! Stamps Store.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Now hop on over to the Eureka! Stamps Store and see all the wonderful images and supplies they have to offer.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
