Inkspirational Challenges #286 - Mood Board

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're thrilled to have you dropping in.

Once again, thank you for participating in our Word Prompt - Numbers challenge. At last count, the tally was 29 amazing entries. Please know that your enthusiasm brings us immense joy!

Today launches another Moodboard challenge; one filled with images of Spring and Easter. From flowers, to decorative eggs, to rainbow-arranged macarons (yum!), to numbers, to colours, to patterns, to shapes, we hope the moodboard sparks your creativity in some fashion.

TOP PICKS - Challenge 284 - Stitching AND Reminder Post - Challenge #285 - Numbers

 Welcome to today's two part post:

First, to those who have already played in Inkspirational Challenge #285 - Word Prompt - NUMBERS - found HERE - thank you! To those who have not, or who would like to add another entry, the link is open until Friday, March 24th at 11:59pm (GMT).  Currently, we have 18 fabulous entries; let's see if we can double - or better yet, triple - that in the next week!

Second: Time to reveal the TOP PICKS for Challenge #284 - Stitching: Real or Faux. A huge thank you to all who shared wonderfully creative stitching cards/projects. Selecting three from a gallery of 40 awesome entries was 'sew' challenging.

Our Top Picks are:

Linby

Linby's stitched quilt, paired with sewing elements and a quirky character, makes for a delightful challenge-fitting card.

Arlene

Even though Arlene found stitching on paper not her 'thing' (she's an avid stitcher), her beautiful flower showcases her amazing sewing talent.  Eye-catching and lovely.

Hilary

Hilary's superb stitching speaks for itself. A stunning card and certainly 'on trend' against the black/silver background.

Congratulations to our Top Picks. Please take your badge.

Time for a Word Prompt which, for the next two weeks, is NUMBERS. Large or small; stars-of-the-stage or support players, as long as you have a number visible, we'll 'count' you in the running for our challenge!
