Mid-May already and with it, a warm welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #113 where Tracey invites us to play with hues of Lime Green/green and Violet for the next two weeks. Definitely a Spring combination...amongst other occasions. 

If you're going to give me violet and green as a combination, my mind will head directly to Halloween, as you can clearly see in my card below.  My Spellbinders' Craft-o-Ween ghost just had to come out for a play! 

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my talented teammtes.

Looking forward to seeing how Lime Green/Green and Violet inspire you.

The challenge will be open until May 29th at 9:00am (EST).

Inkspirational Challenge #367 - Visual Prompt - Floral Palette - Blended Petals Thank You for Being You (Concord and 9th)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #367. For the next two weeks (May 9 - 22), we invite you to step into a garden of colour and imagination with this whimsical visual prompt inspired by an artist’s palette brought beautifully to life in blooms. Vibrant rainbow florals, painterly textures, an outdoor setting: plenty in this fun photo to spark your creativity.

Rainbow colours and flowers caught my eye, so I tried to combine both in the making of my card. The flower image - Concord & 9th's Blended Petals - I like; the ink blending, however, is a bit "meh" compared to the vision I hoped to achieve. 
I'm okay-ish with this, but...stay tuned for something brighter and more whimsical in the Reminder Post. 

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my teammates.

Looking forward to seeing how this prompt inspired you!
