Rainy Day Love for Inspired By…

Hello Everyone!

Welcome Back for a peek at Today’s Card!

Today’s Card is for an Inspiration Challenge…

Appropriately named ‘Inspired By…’

Here is the Challenge!

I was inspired with all the blues in the picture!

 

Here is my take on the Inspiration…

I stamped in Night of Navy Ink and then quickly coated with

Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed…I wanted to be able

to water-color and not worry about the ink running!

 

Here is a close up of the card front…to show the raindrops AND the

Wink of Stella on the Swan, her babies, the water, the flowers…

 

Here is the inside of my Card!

I also heat embossed Clear Embossing Powder over the Night of Navy Ink!

I also added a few ‘raindrops’ to the inside too!

 

Here is my Card with its stamped to match envelope!
