Hey Stampers & Friends! Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. I'm excited to be part of this fun and creative group sharing stamping ideas with you today!
This month's color & inspiration challenges come from the photo below. I got a little confused with this Blog Hop, thinking it was due last week, so I used my Stamp of the Week for last week, Penguin Place to create my card. I have to admit, it was stumping me a bit, at first, when I was just looking at the color part of the challenge. But then...I took a better look at the PHOTO...and inspiration struck!
I love the sunset, landscape and colors, basically everything, about this picture. I'm naturally more of a beach girl, but my husband loves the mountains, so I have learned to love this type of landscape, too. Since it's been a bit chillier here the past week or so, I thought about what this might look like in the winter.
I started by stamping the hills with Orchid Oasis and Fresh Freesia inks. Then, I stamped the trees, stamping twice before reinking. Blending Brushes were then used to add the colors for the sunset. After stamping the sentiment, I applied a THIN layer of Snowfall Accent Puff Paint to each 'hill' and used my Heat Tool to set it. I didn't want it to puff up too much, which is why I kept it to a very small amount. I love the way it turned out, even picking up the ink a bit.
Happy Stamping!
