Challenge #330 - Mood Board

Welcome to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're here.

We've just wrapped up our Santa challenge and, because the festive season is upon us, we're continuing with our Christmas/Holidays theme. For the next two weeks, you're invited to draw inspiration from the mood board below.

What catches your eye: the holiday sentiment in a chalkboard style, the wood grain and brick background, the images, the pleats and folds that create a 3D effect, the neutral colours, the festive, peaceful vibe? Perhaps a combination of elements? So many possibilities...

Reminder: please remember that mood boards are created as 'inspiration,' offering multiple avenues for you to explore. Let us know what sparked your creativity; we're excited to see your interpretations.

Inspiration from the Design Team:

Pia

Marina

We look forward to seeing you in the gallery with your takes on the Mood Board.

The Link will be open until Friday, Dec. 13 @ 11:59pm (GMT)

We'll be back on Saturday, Dec. 7 with a Reminder Post and Top Picks for Challenge #329.

Top Picks Challenge #328 and Reminder Post - Challenge #329 - Word Prompt - Santa

Welcome to our two part post.

First, a reminder that you have until Friday, Nov. 29 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #329 -Word Prompt - Santa - found HERE.

Second, Challenge #328 closed with 83 entries for our Designer's Choice - LAYER IT. From layered dies cuts, to layered stencils, to layers of colour (pencils/watercolour), to layers of clothing...and much more...you definitely nailed the layers theme! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us and, in so doing, making selecting Top Picks even more challenging! It's a good problem to have; we so appreciate your enthusiasm.

Our Top Picks:

Deanne

Deanne's shaped card is delightful - and the nautical-themed layers make it extra special. Lucky 6-year-old receiving this card!

Jackie C.

Jackie created layers with an assortment of patterned papers, but her real layering talent comes from the layers found in her pencil colouring. A work of art, indeed - and little wonder that she's become a colourist for the designers of these images.

Donna

An array of layered die cuts can be found on Donna's cards; perfect for framing the beautiful image.

Joanne

Joanne's pink and white background layers are a pretty stage for her beautiful assortment of layered snowflakes. Gorgeous!

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.
