We've a brand new monthly challenge and inspiration pic for you at The Card Concept, this one entitled Winter Warmth.
There's certainly plenty of warmth going on around here, as February is the hottest month of summer for us. This week we've had more than one day of 37degC (98.6degF) temps so I am most definitely looking forward to the cooler days of autumn not far away (hopefully!).
The animal, trees and colours on the rug gave me an outdoorsy/nature vibe, which became the inspiration for my mixed media card.
Curvy Girl was stamped on my background piece of watercolour card first then I sponged the clouds, sky and ground around her, and stamped her again on another piece of card. She was watercoloured using distress inks and after some fussy cutting attached to the background.
Materials used:
- stamps - Curvy Girl Loves to Hike (Stamping Bella), Spectacular Adventures (Altenew)
- card - pecan pie (Stampin' Up), watercolour, Happy Camper plaid paper (Etsy)
- distress inks - bundled sage, peeled paint, forest moss, stormy sky, spiced marmalade, wild honey, tea dye, rusty hinge, brushed corduroy, pumice stone, vintage photo
- dies - alphanumeric tiny type lower (Tim Holtz)
- other - water brush, mini cloud stencil (My Favorite Things), blending brushes, Sidekick, MISTI, vintage photo embossing glaze, heat tool, black archival ink
Hopefully some aspect of the inspiration picture and/or colour palette will make you want to create. If so, do share it with us on The Card Concept blog and don't forget to check out all the cards made by my fellow design team members.
Thanks for hiking by.
Cheers
Kerry
