Inkspirational

I'm doing a semi-annual DP organizing/purge.

The catalyst for this is either lack of motivation or stress.  Today I think it was a little of both-- just fixating on something irritating in the craft shack today and so I just got busy cleaning.  One thing lead to another,  and the next thing I know: I'm in the house at the kitchen table with 75 pounds of DP, a full sized paper cutter, and a cocktail,  watching the Olympics with my family! Ahhh, all better!

So anyway...

This is a project that was built just prior to the purge:


Now that I've spent a few hours staring at paper, I'm all motivated to use up my stash!

The current challenge at Inkspirational is...
So there you have it!

Supplies:

  • DP is Echo Park (both A and B sides)
  • Doily stamp is by Tim Holtz with StampAnon, inked with Tim's MM pad: Hickory Smoke
  • The rest of the stamps are Hero Arts, inked with Ranger Archival in Jet Black 
  • The flowers were punched from an old book using a Fiskars punch then layered with Glossy Accents 
  • Stickles in Icicle were added just for fun.  Looks like snow.

  2. Nothing like a cocktail to spike the mojo, lol. Beautiful result, so delicate and soft and vintage like.

  3. How elegant these classic images look when stamped on the patterned paper - and the sweet sentiment, lends it a modern edge too. The layering is the perfect finish. Thank you for joining us at Inkspirational Challenges. Come back next time!
