Inkspirational Challenge # 297 - Word Prompt

Hello,

Welcome back to Inkspirational; delighted to have you joining us.

First, thank you to those who played in our Designer's Choice - Iridescent/Clear Challenge; beautiful entries, all!

Our new Word Prompt challenge begins today, where we're inviting you to draw inspiration from CLOTHING, in general, or an article of clothing from your CLOSET. Whatever you choose -   fashionable outfits, laundry baskets of clothes, baby attire, pants/skirts/shirts, even winter wear, like mittens, scarves and hats, clothing being made - sewing machines/knitting needles - as long as you feature an article of clothing, we'd love for you to share your card/project in the gallery.

Talk about an array of clothing here; we're looking forward to seeing your interpretations.

The link will be open until Friday, Sept. 8th @11:59pm (GMT)

We'll be back Saturday, Sept. 1st with a Reminder Post and our TOP PICKS from Challenge #296.

Top Picks - Challenge #295 - and Reminder Post - Challenge #296 - Designer's Choice

 Hello,

Welcome to today's two part post.

First, our current challenge - Designer's Choice - Iridescent/Clear - can be found HERE. Several pretty shimmery entries so far; keep them coming.  

If you haven't entered yet - or if you'd like to enter again - the link is open until Friday, August 25th @ 11:59pm (GMT). We'd be so pleased to have you join us and thank you if you already have done so.

Second, we're excited to announce the Top Picks for Challenge #295 - Use Stencils. The link closed with 75 (yes 7-5) entries. Because participation was so high and the cards exceptional, this time we have FOUR Top Picks (and we could easily have many more!). Thank you to everyone who played along with us.

Our TOP PICKS are:

Trina

Trina's monochromatic ornament is stunning with the lovely shading and exquisite snowflakes.

Christine

Christine's background stenciling is perfect for this masculine marvelous tool-themed card.

Karen D.

Karen's stenciled background is a fabulous stage for the lovely fern and sentiment.

Deborah

Deborah's multi-coloured stenciled poppy fields is delightfully artsty; the frame really adds impact in focusing her design.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Inkspirational Challenge # 296 - Designer's Choice - Marlena

Hello,

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're pleased that you're joining us.

First, we want to thank you for embracing the Use Stencils challenge with such enthusiasm. The gallery closed with 75 fabulous entries! We have quite the task ahead of us in choosing Top Picks.

Today, Marlena, for her Designer's Choice Challenge, invites us to use something "IRIDESCENT/CLEAR" on our projects. Holographic paper, images of glass or ice items, foil, embellishments with a sheen, etc. - anything (regardless of size) that varies in colour when light catches is perfect.

We'll be back Saturday, Aug. 19th, with a Reminder Post and our TOP PICKS from Challenge #295.

Top Picks - Challenge #294 - and Reminder Post - Challenge #295 - Use Stencils

 Hello,

Welcome to today's two part post.

First, our current challenge - Use Stencils - can be found HERE. The gallery, as of today, is bursting with 40 stencil sensations, and we still have a week to go! Keep them coming; let's see if we can set a record!

Second, we're excited to announce the Top Picks for Challenge #294 - Moodboard. The travel theme certainly resonated in a variety of ways. Thank you to everyone who played along with us.

Our TOP PICKS are:

LesleyG

Lesley's beach scene, combined with a camper van and a picnic setting, fits the mood board's travel theme to a 't.' 

Vicki

Vicki's card, with its neutral and aqua circles, Eiffel Tower and travel sentiment, is an eye-catching CAS take on the mood board.

LeslieT

Leslie's inchie album is nothing short of fabulous - and such a unique take on the travel theme and sandy/beachy colours of the mood board. So worth a visit. A mini album with mega impact.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.
