Inspired by all the little Things 43

Hey Friends, I'm loving this inspiration photo this week at Inspired by all the little Things 43. Home decorating is a passion of mine so I love pics of home decor. 

I chose to take the pink flowers, the fabulous black and white print and some silver from the photo for this week's card. I masked the beautiful WPlus9 Ranunculous with a Lawn Fawn jar stamp. The stems are from yet another set. I water colored the image with Zig markers and a water brush. I heat embossed (with Versafine Black Onyx and clear power)  the black sentiment from a SSS stamp designed by Kristina Werner. 

I set that on a panel on PTI patterned paper and wrapped some silver twine, made a separate bow from the same, and added a black enamel dot. That panel was set on a dark pink A2 card base. Oh, and of course PPP sparkling clear sequins! 

Michele Ferguson is our guest this week! You must go over to the blog and see her take on the challenge as well as the other wonderful cards from the team. 

Hugs, Kim

Inspired by all the little Things 40

Hi Friends, Time for another fabulous inspiration from Inspired by all the little Things! 

I was a little stumped at first but I'm happy with my card. I started out being inspired by the white flower which I made come to life with a Simon Says Stamp set named Ranunculus.  I used the berry-like branches to imitate the photo and used this lilac/pink shade of card stock for the background. I used Distress ink for the background, Milled Lavender.

A Hero Arts sentiment embossed on vellum and some sparkling clear sequins finish it off. 

Our guest, Donna Rudy and the design team have some great cards to share with you so stop on by!

Inspired by all the little Things 23

Hey Friends, Welcome to Inspired by all the little Things challenge #23. Who doesn't love black and white? And a little gold and pink! 

I started my card with some loose water coloring on Ranger distress water color paper with spun sugar ink. ( I think that's what I used) I used the same ink to splatter as well as some black ink. I used a Neat and Tangled heart die to cut vellum and gold glitter paper.

A white Hero Arts sentiment was heat embossed on a scrap of black card stock and hand cut into a banner. Some Doodlebug sequins and a strip of striped paper finish it off. 

We have a new Challenge Creator Karren Johnson and a super Guest Karen Davis so come over for a visit and make a card with us.

Inspired by all the little Things # 17

Hi all! It's Memorial Day weekend in the USA. We've got some unseasonably warm weather and it's perfect for a holiday. Feels like summer! 

For this weeks Inspired by all the little Things #17 Challenge, I went with the spike-y looking  flowers in the inspiration photo along with the colors.  

I heat embossed the Inkadinkado image (set is called "meadow") with white embossing powder on Ranger water color paper. I laid down a wash of clear water then dropped the darker colors close to the images. Those colors were Picked Raspberry and Seedless Perserves Distress inks. Then I added Milled Lavender and Spun Sugar in the outer wet edges and let them do their beautiful spreading magic. To help the spreading process along, I spritzed clean water from a mini mister. For me, this is key to getting the look I want. Then let AIR DRY. 

The rest is obvious, white heat embossed Hero Arts sentiment on a piece of heavy weight torn vellum, a couple of punched butterflies adorned with PPP sparkling clear sequins adhered to a dusty green mat and white card base. No foam tape for easy mailing. 

Thanks for visiting and please come play with us this week!
