FS868 - Merry Christmas
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Ardyth

 Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper!, I chose this card as my inspiration:

CT0417 An Inch of Lovely by Sweet Irene at Splitcoaststampers

LIST: Colours (pastels with darker stamping), Techniques (watercolour stamping, stamping), Elements (grid of squares with stamped images)

INCLUDE: pastel colours with darker stamping,

MODIFY: grid of circles, stenciled instead of watercolour stamping, white gel pen highlights added to black stamping

EXCLUDE:

SPIN: square card
I think what drew me to this inspiration card is the versatility of this design. A grid can work as a background in any colours, for any occasion, and I even changed the squares to circles, so that works too!

I blended 3 colours through a stencil of circles and I love how each circle got a unique mix of colours. Before removing the stencil, I spritzed the panel with iridescent shimmer spray. I used some small stamps from an Avery Elle stamp set in each circle and I added white gel pen highlights. My sentiment was stamped in black on a white strip and then backed on a slightly wider strip blended with the same 3 inks. I finished with some multi coloured sequins.

I love how you transformed her lovely grid of squares into this beautiful and colorful grid of circles. I, too, love the unique colors combos in each of the circles. The small star stamps are so cute and add so much charm to the overall look, but adding the white to the centers is what took it over the top. Attention to those details that seem small often are what take a design from ordinary to extraordinary -- yours is extraordinary. Great card.

Ardyth, this is such a great case of Betty's inspiration card. I am intrigued by the circles and how you mixed the colors for them. The little starburst images are the perfect addition.
