Kind and Caring Thoughts and an Inspiration Challenge

 DSCN7423



Over on Splitcoast Stampers today, there is an inspiration challenge (IC184) where you were to check out THIS website and find something that inspired you.  It is a site dedicated to how items are packaged.  You might be thinking brown boxes and packing tape, but this is MUCH more creative and encompassing than that.  It's a really neat site!  THIS is the picture I used for the inspiration of this set of CAS cards. 

I inked my stamp in each of the 4 colors that coordinated with the ones on the website, and then stamped them off and re-added color to some of the buds/blossoms using my markers to make those particular buds/blossoms darker than the others.  I hope you like them!

    Like them?!?? They are spectacular! I can't believe what a stunning effect this simple technique has (stamping off then reinking some areas). WOW, this stamp is just perfect for it as well!! Love it!
