Inkspirational Challenge #233~Word Prompt: Tower....Frozen Slimline with Castle Background

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #233, where our word prompt for the next two weeks is TOWER.  Initially, this threw me for a loop but...I found my way and I know you will, too! 


So, at the time I was making my cards, it didn't dawn on me to use a cityscape die for towers. Nope...instead, my mind went to the towers found on castles, which lead me to my Echo Park Magical Castles stencil, which lead me to thinking about the movie, Frozen, which lead me to a slimline design (which is kind of tower-ish), which finally resulted in this...


My sweet niece will be turning 11 (already!!) in early March, so this will be heading
her way, along with Rainbow loom elastics and  markers for her to decorate ceramic mugs. I think that oil-based Sharpies are the way to go with that project (based on my limited research); if anyone has better ideas, I'd be thrilled to hear them. New to this particular craft, so advice appreciated.

Please check out my teammates' tower-themed creations, then play along with us!

How fun! I loved reading your thought process to this card. Makes perfect sense to me! And your card looks fantastic. :) Your niece will love it! You are such a kind and generous auntie. Squeeze. I think you have a magic touch when it comes to stenciling. Your images always look fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing. Oh and I think you are right about the ceramic mug supply. Have a wonderful day!

These stenciled castles with towers turned out looking perfect, before reading your post I thought you’d used a DP. Great card for a young girl,and I know my nephew of 5 would’ve loved it too. I love the age when children don’t focus on what’s girly or boyish, they just like what they like.

Let it go...! You've got me singing now. The Frosen castile is a perfect choice and she's sure to love this. Yes, sharpies work well on ceramics - they do fade a bit when washed but she can always touch them up.
