They're doing world-tour type card making themes over at Stamp Nation this weekend, with inspiration photos from famous places.
My first card is for the inspiration of this photo from South Africa:
While I love the vibrant colors in this, I really wanted something a little more muted- but the high contrast really spoke to me.
I have a seriously limited supply of card-making materials; pretty much just what I've gotten in 4 months of SSS's card making kits, a set of pigment ink cubes, and a rubber stamp I bought for a Mother's Day card for my sister. I think I've been doing okay with just that, though!
Here's what I made from this inspiration:
I started with a piece of patterned paper (the orange) and used an ink blending tool (the small round one- I love it) to sponge on some Peacock Feathers distress ink at the bottom, hoping it would turn green due to the yellow/orange behind it. It did!
The horizontal line is a stamp from SSS's "To Thine Own Shelf" stamp set, and the sentiment is from a Hero Arts clear stamp set I picked up at Michael's in the clearance bin. :)
There's clear Wink of Stella on the horizontal bar and the text as well.
