I'm in love with this photo-inspiration... I'd set my table with these sweet vases of blooms every day if I could! Today, I'll be satisfied by stamping, and coloring a few Altenew Weekend Doodles for Inspired By #82- and use a sweet little set of dies to create 'vases!' Those Essentials Basic Label Frames dies I recently won from Pinkfresh Studios have really served me well today! Take a peek at how I created my card panel:
Starting with a few Copics to replicate
the background color in the photo...
I then cut it to size, and added a bit of texture using
Kathy Racoosin's technique with a scrap of terry cloth towel,
and blending solution.
I took it one step further by debossing the panel with the
Gradient Stripes background die from Altenew.
A really fun variety of Copics were used to color my Doodles … then it was just a matter of arranging them in those fun vases which are a few Pinkfresh Studio Label Frames. It cannot come close to filling my table... but will be a pretty cute 'first look' on some special person's bedside table.
Hope you are Inspired By #82, and have fun playing along!
