This week at Just Add Ink Nikki has found this fabulous image to inspire our creativity. Isn't it cool? I've never seen a flower like that - I wonder how they did it? Perhaps it's Photoshopped, but that takes the fun out of it!
I briefly toyed with the idea of doing something with my Daisy punch, but my brain clearly wasn't working well that day, and I ended up going in another direction altogether.
I've been doing a lot of smooshing lately, as I found a better way to do the technique than the way I'd originally learned. I'd only tried one colour backgrounds, so this was the perfect opportunity to splash out and try a multicoloured background. Now I just need to remember the colours I used! I'm pretty sure they were Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, Call Me Clover, Melon Mambo and Lovely Lipstick.
The dreamcatcher had a layer of Wink Of Stella added to give it an extra touch of bling, and then finished off with some pearls. The word 'dream' was cut from some cardstock that I'd watercoloured with Gorgeous Grape and Mango Melody before cutting. It's important to let the cardstock dry first - ask me how I know! LOL
On the inside I used one of the dies in the set to create a little window. I'd tried the smooshing on a piece of glossy cardstock and wasn't happy with how it turned out, but it was perfect for popping behind the window.
The rest of the Design Team have had just as much fun as I have with this week's Inspiration Challenge. You can see their cards over at the Just Add Ink blog, where you can also link your card. Don't have a blog? You can still enter! Just email us your card and we will enter it for you.
Bye for now,
