Julie is our host and our Inspiration Challenge site is Wescover, which is filled with beautiful images. I was inspired by the soft colors in this painting:
Nancy is our host and our Featured Stamper is Jessica aka jlararski. Jessica you have a wonderful gallery filled with inspiration. I chose your Mountain Christmas card, which featured pine and pine cones:
I changed from landscape to portrait, changed the color scheme and placed my sentiment on a circle die cut.
Using a blender brush I added Strawberry Slush ink to the card front and then splattered on more of the same ink with a tiny fan brush. I gold embossed the sentiment on a stitched circle. The pine cone dies are two step dies. One pine cone was diecut from white cardstock and the second from the gold shimmer vellum. The pine boughs were diecut from white cardstock that I sponged with bashful blue ink. The embellishments were the ribbon and gold cord bow as well as the gold pearls.
