ASD Inspiration Challenge - August 2023 Second helpings

I knew I'd be going back for a double dip of fun for the new ASD Inspiration Challenge this month.  This time I'm bringing in 'the pretty' for my shaker card using her wonderful Spring Garden stamp set, coloring stencils, and coordinating dies, too!  Let's start with a closeup...


Those little glass beads seem to be multiplying in my drawer!
Aren't they lovely with the ink colors?  I 'mopped up my leftover ink with a panel of watercolor paper and then used ASD's Tiny Dots cover die to give it interest. Speaking of inks:


Waffle Flower's shaker covers sure do make creating them easier!
Alex Syberia Designs adds the beauty...


Okay!  That's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

ASD August 2023 Inspiration Challenge

Imagine my delight when this arrived in my inbox:


Another reason to play with all those wonderful Alex Syberia Design products??  YES, please!  

For their August 2023 Inspiration Challenge premier, ASD is asking for a shaker card - I have SO many shaker bits in my stash it's fun to put them to use.  You might remember THIS card - I had all those darling images from the Underwater Wonders set all colored up and ready to play!  I used all the colors from their beautiful prompt.  I cut a circle and blended inks to indicate a sunset, and an ocean.  Here's a closeup so you can see that the circle was then debossed with the ASD Mermaid's Melody cover plate:




A sweet duo of sentiments from ASD Sunkissed Memories and a sunny-snippet, finished my card, and it has already been tucked into an envelope!

Thanks, Alex for creating a challenge - you know how much I love to PLAY CARDS - and I may go in for a double-dip!
