Inkspirational Challenge #319 - Use Stencils (Optional: Use Paste)

Welcome to Inkspirational; we're delighted that you're joining us for our end-of-June challenge. Hard to believe we're at the half-way point of the year already! 

*Use Stencils* is our inspiration for the next two weeks and, if you want to jazz up your stenciling, we've included an optional twist: Use Paste. Colours, design, occasion - the choice is yours, but please incorporate stencils.

 

Inspiration from the Design Team:

I used the Paste Option






Looking forward to your stencil sensations filling the gallery.

Before signing off: Happy Canada Day long weekend to our Canadian players. Hope you'll have opportunities to celebrate on July 1st! 

The Link will be open until Friday, July 12 @11:59pm (GMT)

We will be back next Saturday, July 6th with a Reminder Post and Top Picks from Challenge #318.

Top Picks Challenge #317 and Reminder Post - Challenge #318 - Mood Board

 Welcome to our two part post.

First, a reminder that you have until Friday, June 28th at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #318 -Mood Board - found HERE. Reminder: Mood Boards have multiple entry points - colours, images, textures, the 'vibe,' etc. - so select what catches your eye, create and share.

Second, Challenge #317 - FRAME - closed with 49 wonderful entries featuring an array of frames of all shapes, sizes and styles. Thank you, again, for embracing our challenges with your creativity and enthusiasm. Again, difficult to select winners, but...we did!

Our Top Picks:

Ashwini's delightful pencil-colour critters tucked into pretty frames make for an eye-catching design; we all agree that this work of art should be framed!

Silke's scalloped edge frame is beautifully adorned with the sweet little bird and lovely flowers. Definitely frame-fabulous.

Kate's Dogwood Rose panel, in soft, muted colours, makes for a lovely framed-forward card.

Congratulations to our Top Picks; please take your badge.

Inkspirational Challenge #318 - Mood Board

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

Our mid-June (already!) inspiration for the next two weeks comes from the Mood Board you see below. 

Remember that mood boards have multiple avenues for you to explore: colours, images, textures, designs, shapes, the 'vibe'...and that's just a start. One element or a combination of several: the options are plentiful.  Let us know what caught your eye; we're excited to see your interpretations.
