Tuesday with Tara (take 80)
Happy Tuesday! Hope you`ve had a fantastic week and a great start to 2017… maybe you even got some creative time in! Here in the south we`ve been hit with WINTER STORM 2017 and actually had a couple snow days where we didn`t venture far from home… between that and football season, I`ve had some extra time to hide out in the creative studio and get a bit inky. I`ve been pulling out some supplies that are still new (aka unused) despite being in my stash for a few years. The floral stamp I used on this card is one of those- it`s a stunning image by Magenta and it felt great to finally ink it up!
I hadn`t used my Distress Sprays for a while, so I decided an embossing resist would be fun with this image. I heat embossed the flower in white, then misted it with three shades of ink.
My cardstock absorbed the ink very quickly, but I loved the look even if it wasn`t what I was expecting! I really wanted the images to stand on their own, so a simple sentiment (by Dina Wakley) embossed on cardstock was my finishing touch, along with a few dabs of Glossy Accents in the flower centers.
If you haven`t made any resolutions or goals for 2017, Keep Taking Chances seems to me like a great one! Especially creatively 🙂
Have a creative week!
Inky hugs,
Tara

Hello 2017- You sparkle! I had fun with this card, pulling out a Sizzix pop-up card die I`d never used before (although I`ve had it for several years!) and paired it with my big Tim Holtz Word Play alpha & number die. I also found this gorgeous glitter paper in my stash and was delighted to find cardstock & ink (Distress Cracked Pistachio) that looked great along with it! I wanted to design a card that was crisp & fresh like the new year, I hope you like how it turned out!
