Midnight Blooms from Alex Syberia Designs are my flower dies of choice; the accompanying stencils transform them into pretty blooms easily.

Inkspirational Challenge #340 - Seasonal - Happy Mother's Day Floral Heart

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #340, where our theme for the next two weeks is SEASONAL.

Here's a quick description of the challenge:

We invite you to consider the four seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter - and create cards/projects based on occasions +  images that are 'specific' to those seasons.
For instance:

• Spring: Mother's Day, Easter, flowers, etc.
• Summer: summer vacations, school's out, weddings, beaches, Fourth of July, Canada Day, etc.
• Fall: harvest, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Remembrance Day, etc.
• Winter: Christmas, Hanukkah, winter activities.

These are just a few ideas to get you started; the team also has some fabulous inspiration for you.

For my SEASONAL card, I selected Spring. Images (obviously) are florals + Occasion is Mother's Day. This is the debut of my Floral Hearts glimmer plate, stencils and dies from This Calls for Confetti that I purchased from one of my favourite Canadian shops: Glitter and Ink. Simple to glimmer; simple to stencil. I may have a handful of these pretty hearts ready to be card-ified! 

I'm also sharing at The Dream Factory - Magnolia Challenge, where they're inviting us to create cards with  Flowers / Mother's Day. 

 

Please visit the main blog to see my teammates fabulous inspiration; then join us with your take on SEASONAL.

Just Us Girls Challenge #771 - Moodboard Week - Happy Easter Eggs and Bunnies

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #771, where Elizabeth has selected a lovely Easter/Spring, rainbows, cake, spring wear, stripes and ovals - and so much more - mood board as inspiration this week.

Once again, we're delighted to have highly talented Wanda Cullen joining us as our April Guest Designer.  

Clearly, my inspiration comes from the lower right corner: the delightful array of decorated eggs. The black and white dotted one was the instigator. LOL! This marks the debut of my This Calls for Confetti Egg-cellent A2 Cover Plate Die, using assorted patterned papers, a bunny and sentiment from MCT, 

 

while my second card marks the debut of the accompanying stencil.
