Our Top Picks

 (We've selected four, because we want to be on the Nice List, too.)

Jo

Jo's Santa suit, complete with some textured fur, is a festive delight!

Annette

Annette's stained glass Santa is so eye-catching, as are the accompanying papers, greenery and ribbons.

Linda

Linda's vintage, beautifully coloured St. Nick makes us feel jolly!

Michaela

Michaela's glittery, dancing Santa and reindeer are too cute; who wouldn't love to join in to a rousing bout of Jingle Bells!

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:

Julia

Pia 

Marlena

Nonni

Carol

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!
