It’s the first Friday of the month so it must be an elemental challenge over at Daring Cardmakers - my turn to host and I’ve taken inspiration from the month to put together our inspiration photo. Violet and amethyst are February’s flower and gemstone, it’s usually cold and wet so curling up with a book is a good option but thoughts are starting to turn to gardening or beach walks if you’re lucky enough to live close to one.
As usual, choose at least three elements from the picture to kick start your project. I chose a shell, book text, amethyst colour gems and a “hello” sentiment.Stamps:
Coquillage #2 (Carabelle Studio)
Essential Messages (Hero Arts, retired)
Paper:
Bristol board
Old book page
Ink:
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Pearlescent Chocolate)
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide by Ranger (Wilted Violet)
Other:
Copic markers
Gesso
Cressida stencil
Nail art gems
Here's the inspiration photo for February:
Another beautiful card, Joanne! Love how you used the inspiration. My mojo has seriously left the building so I'll go take a look at this challenge to see if it helps, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI am learning..I would not have thought about gesso on the book page-I have not worked with gesso yet.
ReplyDeleteNice card. I like the hex pattern against the written word. And the aged page color is nice with both the purple and the shell.
Early spring makes me think of another purple-lilacs-my mom's favorite along with Lily of the Valley.

It's an interesting challenge, I haven't even heard of it. I like your implementation of the picture very much, I like the shell very much, it looks very plastic!!
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks awesome and you really did a great job with the inspiration photo!! Rosi x
