Today I have a simple card, dedicated to all the amazing friends I have back in BC, whom I’ve been missing a lot lately.

I created another cut out card background, using another die from the set I featured last week.  I then inked over the pre-cut background with abandoned coral Distress Ink, using an ink applicator through a stencil.  I cut the friends sentiment from a scrap of the watercolor background paper and added a stamped sentiment with the same coral ink.  I kept trying to add details or another color into the mix, but I love the simple, monochromatic feel I ended up with here.

sometimes simple is the very best way to go!

Happy Tuesday!  Hope you’ve had a great week and enjoyed a bit of cooler weather wherever you are!  I was inspired by a full sheet of pretty watercolor paper I had sitting on my desk (another project with Colorburst that took a turn I wasn’t expecting… so was set aside for another day!) and it looked like autumn to me, in shades of red, orange & yellow!  I paired it with this large swirl die by Tim Holtz- love it!  The die was cut from my card front and the background paper cut slightly smaller than my card front & carefully adhered to the inside using Matte Multi Medium.

For a focal image, I decided to use a Prima doll, whose dress was paper pieced from the same watercolor background paper, with the addition of some leaves stamped on it in coral ink. The same leaves were stamped around the swirl cut outs on the card front.

A few details that finish off my card include simple sentiment stickers along the bottom of the card and a bit of bling and lace added to the dress. The finished card is pretty simple, but I gotta admit it didn’t come together terribly quick & easy. It wouldn’t take long to duplicate though 🙂

sending inky hugs your way…

I know I’m not the only one who feels like August is flying by… and while I’m looking forward to cooler days and all the beauty of autumn, I’m not quite ready to let go of summer!  So today I have another card using almost the same products as last week’s card, but with a totally different feel.  This one embraces the colors of the sun, with a generous dose of Abandoned Coral Distress Ink (LOVE).

summer thoughts (1)

I used the same sand & sea Tim Holtz die, but added some fun crackle to the seahorse and tangerine paint to the sand dollar.  The sentiment is also from the same have faith stamp set that I used!  I created a background with a stencil and a splattering of Color Burst and a border with some washi tape.  I had a few strips of watercolor paper from trimming various projects and created a fun weave with them to anchor my background.  One of the wildflower dies transforms itself into sea weed on todays card 🙂

Sure makes me wish I was at the beach, or at least headed there!  I hope your summer included some beachy days, or some other fun adventure that let you relax and enjoy yourself!

Have a creative week!

Inky hugs,

Tara
