Inspiring flowers

March 26th, 2008

I’m finding that inspiration challenges are a lot harder for me then sketch challenges. Maybe it’s because I rarely get to the one on SCS so when Beate started doing them I haven’t had a lot of practice. All I know is last week’s art piece was gorgeous but I could not make anything picture worthy. So I waited, and now this week made me sweat!

I decided to use the bali breeze papers, aqua mist CS and ribbon and then flowers from MFT’s “Boho blossoms”.

I wanted to create some movement on the card so I made the little whispy curly cues. I think there may be one or two too many. But I’m leaving it as is.

Again, it’s super late! So I am getting ready to hit the hay.

Tomorrow is Thursday! Hoooray, that much closer to the weekend!

Stamps: Boho blossoms-MFT
CS: aquamist, white=papertrey, bali breeze DSP-SU
Ink: eggplant envy, aquamist, tempting turqouise, old olive
Accessories: silver HPH, ribbon, dimensionals, sponge, punches, liquid pearls.

    Waow, amazing! :-) I love that set from MFT, it’s the 1st thing I brought from them (alongside the seasisde set…) but I am sometimes intimidated by those big flowers, I love how decadent you made them and the curve they have… :-)
