New Challenge at Inkspirational!



Hi friends!
Happy Valentine's Day! In Finland this day is not only for lovers but for friends too... So the theme of this card is most suitable for today!

We have a new challenge for you at Inkspirational: a photo inspiration with such beautiful image. You could go for Japanese theme, the colors, flowers... You name it!  Our guest designer this time is Darnell: I hope you are familiar with her amazingly entertaining blog full of inspiration and even challenges! I hope you'll pop by at Darnell's and leave her some love. The Inkspirational DT is also showing their best work as always... So don't forget to check out the challenge blog!

I chose to use some Japanese style stamps I have for this card. I've heat embossed the image and sentiment with white powder. The embossing folder tries to mimic the look of the flowery branches although it is something completely different. :) I went really CAS with this one and stuck with monochrome color scheme. Hope you like and see you at Inkspirational!

  11. Great card, Nonni! I like the fact that valentine's day is for lovers and friends too. I work in a primary school and we always encourage the children to make cards for their parents, grandparents and friends. Jo x
