Inspirational Challenge #326 - Mood Board - Artsy Leaves Notecard (Tim Holtz Artsy Leaves)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #326 ,where we have the mood board, below, as inspiration. Autumn hues mixed with pretty blues and teals, fall leaves, a sandy shore, pretty sunflowers and butterfly, decorative threads, woodgrain, wisps of light, circles, squares...and so much more to spark ideas.

Reminder: please don't feel that you need to replicate photos from the mood board in their entirety. Rather, mood boards are created as 'inspiration,' offering multiple avenues for you to explore: colours, images, textures, designs, shapes, the 'vibe'...and that's just a start. One element or a combination of several: the options are plentiful.  Let us know what caught your eye; we're excited to see your interpretations.

24. Autumn Vibe Color Palette Moodboard, designed by Ayesha Akhtar

I'm smitten with the palette of this mood board, so that was my first inspiration source; the second, the leaves. So...Tim Holtz's Artsy Leaves + Waffle Flower's postage collage die + Concord & 9th's leaves coverplate + assorted wax seal dots (left over from some seals I made) = this card.

 

I designed this as a notecard, rather than an occasion card, so no outside sentiment. 

Please head over to the main blog to see how the board inspired by wonderful teammates, then play along with us. See you in the gallery!

Just Us Girls Challenge #747 - Color - Chartreuse, Light Blue, Gray - Happy Halloween Spooktacular Postage Collage (Waffle Flower)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #747, where our lovely hostess, Lisa, has selected the combination below as inspiration for Colour Week.

The beginning of a new month means a new Guest Designer: Kerry Parkinson. We're delighted to have you joining us, Kerry!

I'm absolutely smitten with Waffle Flower's Postage Collage collection and you'll be seeing me playing with their fabulous dies and stencils often in this - and upcoming - posts. Today, I've used the Spooktacular stencil; the images are easy to ink and they're really not creepy spooky at all! Alas, my Twisted Citron doesn't show up as chartreuse-y in the photo as it does in real life. A sprinkle of flat sequins in the challenge colours was also added, just for some extra pizzazz.

Looking forward to seeing how you showcase this combination!

Thank you for dropping by!

Color Hues Challenge #96 - Purple and Orange - Boo Wax Seals Spooky Greetings (Spellbinders, Waffle Flower)

Hello,

Happy October 1st and, with it, a warm welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #96, where our lovely Julie B has selected hues of Purple and Orange as inspiration for the next two weeks. Of course, this combination is perfect for Halloween...just saying.

We're delighted to have two Guest Designers joining us to launch this challenge: Stephanie Lanzalotto and Trina Pham. 

I had a blast combining Spellbinders BOO! 3D wax seal with Waffle Flower's Postage Collage Die. The bottom left ghostie uses glow-in-the-dark wax for some extra spooky fun. This one will be headed off to my nephew; another version in the works for my niece. 

Please head over to the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my oh-so-talented teammates.

Looking forward to seeing how you play with Purple and Orange

The challenge will be open until October 14th @ 9:00 am EDT.

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall

 winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.
