Red, Blue and Gold Perfume Bottles and a Verse

 

Catherine Pooler Scentsational, Brutus Monroe Stencil, Whimsy Stamps Jungle Frames, Hero Arts Bonsai Fancy die (plant base is cut in gold as a tray)

I don't know about you, but when I receive a new stamp, I really want to create with it ASAP.

I don't always have the motivation, though.

This color challenge, however, had me craft soonish! 

It leaned me toward patriotic colors and a Bible verse from Verve (no longer in business).

It's for a dear friend I pray to encourage.

DT INkspirational Fold

 

Hero Arts wooden stamp/Heroscapes sentiment, Technique Tuesday Shade and Valance, My Favorite Things Peek-A-Boo Stitched Window

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

The prompt is Fold, so I tried out this die for the first time, and it's a Technique Tuesday Shade and Valance die.

I had to fold the peak and valleys to give the shade proper dimension.

Behind the window is an image stamped from a Hero Arts wooden stamp.

Time for a New Chapter Embossed Image

Hero Arts Girl (Looking to the Stars, Architectural Wonders, City HeroScape sentiment, Venetian Neighborhood), Lawn Fawn Stitched Thought Bubble, MFT Stitched Clouds, Distress Inks, Versamark Ink,Black embossing powder

This card came together organically, in that I had the background available, and the other pieces seemed to fit on them well.

The embossed image and Architectural Wonders are fairly recent purchases; aren't they fun?!
