Inkspirations Inspiration Challenge #20
As you read this (if my scheduling has worked) I am actually down south resting up with the family and friends in the caravan. We aren’t going too far afield this time, just down to Mandurah but a break away from the rat race all the same. I hope you are getting a chance to have some quality time with your family during the school holidays.
I wanted to thank you all for your warm welcome and thoughtful comments regarding my Guest Designer spot with Keesh and the Inkspirations Design Team. Your encouragement and ‘blog love’ is much appreciated!
This week it’s an Inspiration Challenge:
I had a bit of an idea when I first saw this that I wanted to pick out the sprigs or blossom and make that my main feature so the stamp sets I reached for were Inspired by Nature and Upsy Daisy and this is what I came up with. Upsy Daisy won!
Stamp sets: Upsy Daisy, Inspired by Nature
Cardstock: Whisper White, Kraft, Basic Black
Inks: Sahara Sand, Basic Black
Accessories: Scallop Cirle Big Shot die, Circle Scissors Plus, Vintage brads, Kraft taffeta ribbon, Urban Oasis DSP, Stamp-a-ma-jig, matt pack and paper piercer
This is my first card using the Big Shot Scallop Circle die but I’m sure it won’t be my last. I absolutely love playing with my Big Shot and am having so much fun with little projects which I hope to show you soon.
Now don’t forget to go and check out the other Design Team members’ blogs and see what they come up with from this pic. Once you’ve done that, we’d love you to have a go and head over to Mr Linky on Keesh’s blog and upload your card.

HI Louise,
my what a striking card! Love how you used the scallop circle, and the Urban Oasis paper works well to echo all the curves.
