Exciting news....my friend, Susanne is the guest designer for the
Inkspirational Challenge #89. She so deserves it because she makes some awesome cards. You can see them on her blog,
Keep in Touch. And of course, she inspired me to post a card for the challenge which is the word prompt "Melt".
I thought at first I would be melting because it has been so hot my stamp room has been a sauna. But this weekend , thankfully, the heat wave left us and it has been gorgeous. While I might have used ice cubes melting in my cold drink on a hot day, my thoughts instead turned to candles that melt.
The candle and sentiment stamps are from a retired Stampin' Up set called Poinsettia Greetings. I stamped the candle in Crumb Cake ink and then used colored pencils. I got to use my new Stampin Up dies Lots of Labels. I found a patterned paper in the Trim the Tree DSP pack and went with the colors Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler. There is a layer of White sparkle paper in there too.
I hope you visit the Inkspirational Challenge; you have five more days to post your own creation.
Thanks for visiting. Hope you have a great week.
Susanne, is amazing, isn't she! I'm so glad her card inspired you and what a marvelous direction that inspiration took you! Your framed candle is simply stunning; definitely the star of the stage! The diagonal paper and glitter border: perfect supporting cast! Absolutely stunning! Thank you for joining us in the Inkspirational gallery!
