Challenge 64 - Photo Inkspiration

This week we have a fun photo inspiration challenge for you!

First, let me introduce our fabulous guest designer, Pauline 

My name is Pauline and I live in Hampshire, England with my husband Paul and two teenage sons.  I started making cards about four years ago when my husband gave me a card making book for Christmas - I was soon addicted.  I love to try lots of different techniques and styles, my favourite has to be decoupage and I love CD crafting but I also like to try my hand at Clean and Simple.

I started my blog http://craftingwithcotnob.blogspot.co.uk/ to share my love of crafting and to enter challenges - I have been amazed by the many wonderful friendships I have made all over the world.

It is an honour to be guest designing for Inkspirational, I hope you like my card.

Here is some inspiration from our design team:

Top Picks #62 - markers/ pencils

Current challenge HERE.

Wow... you all certainly delivered a host of beautiful entries for Nonni's designer's choice challenge! Thank you to everyone who took time to play along. After much deliberation we have narrowed the entries down to these top picks.

Lynda


Lynda’s 'no lines' coloring is a really cool technique! We cannot believe this is her first try at it. Her image is so complex and we love how she paired it with the music.

Sanja

Sanja's use of color is gorgeous! Her combination of inking, coloring, layering, and embellishment make this one elegant piece of work!

Maura

We loved the elegance of the embossed gold against the white background that Maura achieved. Her subtle coloring on the flowers looks masterful and the addition of the sequins finished this card off beautifully!

Congratulations!

Top Picks #61 Splash

Current challenge HERE.

Wow! You guys  were certainly inspired by our word prompt "Splash!" Thank you to all of the wonderful entries. Here are our top picks:

Pauline

Pauline used such a cute image and we love how she added the soft coloring around the rain and the scalloped edge!

Anita

 Anita’s card is an amazing result of “splodging” her cardstock into some leftover ink on her craft mat. How clever is that! Such a creative watercolor background and a great layered sentiment!

Loll

 Loll’s sponged and inked card is lovely, but the addition of the splashes of water move it to 'elegant and stunning'. We love the leaves glistening in the rain appearance!

Congratulations!

First, meet our wonderful Guest Designer:

Greta

My name is Greta.  I'm a Registered Nurse living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my hubby of 34 years & our 13 month old Standard Schnauzer, Fritz.  I discovered stamping over 15 years ago & was immediately hooked!  I love elegant, uncluttered designs, but also like to try a variety of techniques & styles.  I began my blog, http://www.ggnursecreations.blogspot.com/, 2 years ago & enjoy the friendships I've made all over the world through this wonderful hobby.  I'm so honored to be guest designing for Inkspirational & hope you enjoy my card.

Here's Greta's inspirational card:
