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).

Night Lighthouse Birthday

 

The Ton Stamps Lighthouse Night/Day Add On/Postage Party Die, Verve (out of business) Strong Anchor

Ok, so I did the night Lighthouse too from The Ton Stamps and I want you to think of Debby Boone's 

"You Light Up My Life" which I belted at a very young age.

I FELT that song so I'm going to say it was my fave back when I was still me. ;)

If you zoom in, you'll see that I weaved cording into the postage holes and tied off two edges.

It's my version of "stitching".

DT INk Birthday Street Sign

Catherine Pooler City Vibes Street Sign, Picket Fence Studios Fancy Friendship Sentiments, My Favorite Things At the Movies Friendship

It's time for a new challenge at INkspirational!

This time the prompt is Birthday~

It didn't take me long to decide these Catherine Pooler street sign sentiments were unique enough to add to my curated stash of "must have" sentiments.

Can't have them all (or use them all), but nice to enjoy the ones I snagged!

They are their own star, so I kept the image and second grounding sentiment simple.

Please join us at the challenge blog with your unique take~
