Inspiration from the Challenge Team, August 15, 2016

Happy Monday, everyone! Time for some inspiration from the Challenge Team! Marcie, Shona and Daria are here to share their takes on this month’s Waffle Flower Challenge! Join the fun by linking your projects to our August challenge too! Marcie Sharp Products: Leafy Stamp Set Lacy Flower Stamp Set Good Stuff Stamp Set What Marcie Says: The picture of the seagull on the mantel caught my eye this month, as well as all the glass vases and jars. I incorporated them all into my card by watercolouring a light wash background onto watercolour paper to replicate the seagull picture. Then I stamped and watercoloured the flower in the jar and fussy cut it. After adhering it with foam tape I stamped my sentiment and added a few clear sequins for fun. Shona Chambers Products: Celebrate Word Die Flower Circles Inverted Die Lacy Flower Mats Dies Congrats Stamp Set What Shona Says: I went die-cutting crazy for this one!! I die cut the different layers using paint chips and wood veneer paper, adhered them all together and then popped them all up on foam tape. The ‘celebrate’ is also cut from wood veneer paper, glued with two more from white card stock for dimension and then covered in lashings of Wink of Stella. Daria Grushina Products: Leafy Stamp Set In Every Way Stamp Set What Daria Says: Being inspired by the soft colors of the inspiration photo, I've blended some inks on my background through a Moroccan tile stencil, added flower and sentiment in black and finish it up with a blue bird. We have a song about blue bird of happiness :) So I have decided to make it as a symbol of happiness - being together.
