Inkspired by JulieSoko/CC 97

All day yesterday I wanted to do the color challenge but for some reason, none of my stamp sets were speaking to me. I have lots of them, so I was beginning to wonder what was wrong/worried I had lost my mojo. Anyway, I absolutely loved the colors of the challenge and knew I had to do it, so I just started to work with what I had out on the desk and this is what I came up with. I love it!

The flower is from Polka Dots and Paisley. Then the background was stamped with canvas over top of the watercolored flowers. The sentiment is from Small Sayings and under it "happy" from Polka Dots and Paisley was stamped. I really like how that turned out. It is so subtle in real life and looks awesome. The ribbon is skinny stitched ribbon from Hobby Lobby. I had never used it before and I love how skinny it is and the look that it helped to create. Thanks to JulieSoko for her awesome layout!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing
