Altenew March 2022 Inspiration Challenge - take two!

 

After a few weeks of studying this photo from Altenew's March 2022 Inspiration Challenge I realized that the grey I saw initially in Therese's photo was reading a bit on the lavender blue side of the color wheel.  Back to the drawing board... and this time, a few springtime daffodils from their Build-a-Flower set!


The rounded rectangle frame was cut from a quarter-sheet of 
watercolor cardstock that I treated to a dry/wet strokes of Caribbean Sky paint from my 36 pan set, and the widest brush from my Altenew brushes.


All set - ready for their gallery! Fingers crossed!

Inspired By #187 - hello, fall!

 

Our weather is still feeling quite Summer-like but I sure do love all the end-of-summer colors, and vibe of our Inspired By #187 hello fall  photo this week!

It was the perfect time to use my gourd - pardon my pun - from Pigment Craft Co. again!  Also, a lovely gift from a darling friend from Connecticut sure did come in handy for my Gingko leaves... here's a peek of the inking I did on those gourds, using Citrine ink from The Stamp Market, and a few greens, and blue-greens from Catherine Pooler.


An old favorite die from Altenew came in handy for the frame, cut from a 
discontinued MFT card stock.
The wood grain paper has been distressed just a tiny bit in order to 
play nicely with the colors on my leaves.  


Remember we have a Christmas version this week, too - and I mean it is GORGEOUS!!  Have a look-see HERE!  While you're there, say hello to all the beauty of Fall from my teammates!
