This week's Blogger's Challenge was an inspiration challenge. We were to create a project out using this picture as our inspiration.I was going to take this challenge literally with the geometry, but decided to go with the color scheme.
Don't you hate it when you get a stamp set in your head...and no matter how hard you try to think of different set you would like to use for a challenge....you can't change your mind! I have an ignorant amount of sets that have never had the feeling of ink on their rubber....just sitting stacked in my studio....waiting......
And I HAD to use Baroque Motifs. I love Baroque Motifs, anyone who has been stamping with me since it's release knows I {luv} it!!! It has been inked plenty...believe me....but I had it in my mind for this.....
so I finally gave in and used it to create this:
so I finally gave in and used it to create this:The card base is basic black. I stamped the flourish from baroque motifs with whisper white craft ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. I tied a knot around the top edge with 5/8 inch real red grosgrain ribbon. The sentiment is from On Your Birthday. I stamped it with basic black onto whisper white and punched it with a 1" circle punch. I punched a 1/8 th inch hole with my handheld punch and tied it to the ribbon with crochet thread. I did adhere the tag to the card with a stampin' dimensional.
Now, I don't know if you can tell by the picture, but the red bird is sparkly..... I stamped the bird from Always with versamark ink onto whisper white and then used heat and stick powder to create an adhesive and then adhered red glitter to the bird. Don't hate me....I had this glitter in my stash - It isn't Stampin' Up!, but couldn't resist using it here. I cut out the bird with my hobby blade and then adhered it with stampin' dimensionals.
So, What do you think? In real life, it is extremely sparkly...and I love it!
