Neon Love You Inspiration




Jen Hadfield Live & Let Grow Phrase Ephemera, Karin Brushmarker Pro Neon




I was a teen in the 80's...

OF COURSE I'm jumping in this cardmaking pool!




 

I might have a slight headache admiring these colors, but you only live once, right? ;)


This challenge was right there at the back of my mind when I saw these neon markers at a great price at Michaels...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!


I've always wanted an excuse to get it (but when I had the nerve, it would be sold out online).

I just wanted to play, so I had at it...wow they're so fun guys!!!  Truly!

I topped off the swoosh and specks with a phrase ephemera that felt right.


Thanks for your sweet visit!

CASE Pink and Grey


Pink Fresh Studio The Magic is in You,The Ton Stamps Easy Expressions, Stampin Up Jar of Love 


I wanted to participate in Just Us Girls Case and I bounced off of Vicki's lovely mason jar floral arrangement!

 


I was able to pick up this Pink Fresh Studio stencil/die set at my local craft store and I paired it with a thrift find (mason jar set from Stampin' Up).


I used the pretty combo at Color Hues:

DT INk Mood Board



The Ton Stamps Postage Windows Stencil/Butternut Squash/Grouped Fresh Sunflowers/Autumn Foliage, Sunny Studio Autumn Splendor, Picket Fence Studio Fancy Autumn Sentiment, acrylic paint on die cut square (using washi as a guide)



It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time there's a Mood Board that could inspire you in many ways!

I went with the dusty color block vibe, by stenciling with The Ton Stamps Windows Stencil.

The dipped panel was something in my scrap pile, when I played around with removeable washi and acrylic paint.





Show us what you came up with and link up at our challenge!

As always, thank you for your sweet visit~

Inspired By Pool Floats




 The Greetery Sweet Tooth


I made this after seeing this at Inspired By:






The Greetery's Sweet Tooth set was perfect for layering doughnuts that matched the image.

I just had to take a black sharpie and fill in the "seeds" that were meant to be sprinkles on the watermelon and kiwi inspired images. 


I'm also submitting to Seize the Birthday the challenge:




the topping is favorite color, but I'm going with anything goes (so many colors here).

Thanks for stopping by today!

Heart Stencil Celebrate




Brutus Monroe Stencil, Stamplorations Celebrate Big Phrase Die, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Tonic Studios Mirror Cardstock




I created this stenciled card for my parents' anniversary.


I kept it simple with a stencil from Brutus Monroe (easy to mix colors with because the sections have wider spaced borders) and a sentiment from Stamplorations (this sentiment had the word "Big" after Celebrate, but I trimmed it off).
