Some Sunny Inspiration

I’m excited today to be hosting my first TCP Tuesday Challenge!  It’s an Inspiration Challenge and these two gorgeous sunflower photos are what I’ve picked.  Aren’t they great?  Pick one picture or both to be inspired by.  

I am so taken by the colour combination in the 2nd photo that I had to do something with that design. That purpley-blue with the yellow looks so great! 

Here’s my sweet scene.  I’ve pulled out the lovely and dreamy Wish stamp set and stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black onto XPress I Blending card stock.  After colouring the bunny and the sky with Copics, then I added pointillism in the background with my B60, B63, B66 Copics and finally finished off the whole design with Prismacolor Pencils to deepen the colouring.  

I’ve added some fun TCP dies to the design - Dots for the vertical white layer, Bitty Banners and Toppers Cutups for the yellow notebook style layer. 

In the background I stamped the tiny stars that come with the set, colouring a few in and then swiping the edges of the paper along the inkpad to give it more of a feeling of a border.  

The glittery stars are chipboard ones I had in my stash that squished into my white craft pad and some iridescent ice embossing powder.  

And here’s the inside of the design.  Simple and sweet.  

Check out The Cat’s Pajamas Blog for more inspiration from the team playing along today.  

Now I really hope you’ll jump into the Inspiration Challenge too.  Can’t wait to see what you create!  Here’s the deets!
