Hi everyone! Taheerah here with my contribution to Winnie & Walter's Belated Birthday Bash celebrations! Hasn't everything been fantastic so far?! So much amazing inspiration and the chance to win awesome prizes too!
My challenge in an Inspiration Image Challenge. I used to do these for my own challenge (Cure For The Monday Blues) on my blog, so I took this as an opportunity to dust off my those boots and take that as a cue for my image choice:
Fun right?! There are so many great trends in this image: rose gold, geometrics, florals, greys, and much more!
I created two cards for my takes on the inspiration - but there are really so many different ways you could go!
Here's card number 1:
Love how quickly this came together, thanks to some awesome stamps and supplies!
The base was spritzed with mist, using one of the new Creative Screenings coming in the February release - shhh! *wink*
I stamped one of the flowers from In Bloom: Anna's Flora and the leaves/stem from In Bloom: Addie's Garden before lightly watercolouring them. My vase is the diamond from My Precious, with the point cut off!
My sentiment came from Happiest of Holidays with Evelin T Designs, heat embossed on black cardstock to finish!
For card number 2, I went in a completely different direction!
*swoon* So in love with this!! I think I'll display it in my home as a piece of art!
I started with a piece of cardstock and used a mixture of Distress Paints to create my abstract 'canvas'. I added some acrylic medium structure gel to the paints to give them some body and texture, and it worked fantastically!
I took my cue from the painting hung on the wall, but when I finished my panel I fought my OCD to decide it worked better 'upside down' for my card, lol! I adhered it to my card base then added my sentiments, again a sneak peek from one of the February Release items. You will love this release by the way!
One last peek at that texture! Love!
