INSPIRED BY CHALLENGE - #IB243 DONUTS

Happy Summer!

To make your Summer a bit sweeter...we have a delicious Inspired By Challenge for you...

Here is the new delicious #IB243 - Donuts inspiration photo and a sketch....

 My inspiration came from the donuts, colors and sketch.

I dug out my super cute Donuts Set from The Stamp Market. I simply punched the donuts out and colored them with various Copic Markers and added them to the card base. At last I heat embossed the sentiment and placed them on the middle row of the donuts...voila!

INSPIRED BY #IB178 - DAD'S MEAL

Hello stampin' friends!

We have a yummy Inspired By Challenge for you....

Here is this weeks yummy-licious #IB178 inspiration photo....

                               

My inspiration came from the "food" theme and the colors.

I searched high and low to find some kind of food image in my stampin' stash...and the Donuts Set from The Stamp Market was it. I colored it with various Copic Markers and created a sentiment with JustRite DIY Times New Roman Font Set. Plain and simple...yet fun :) !!!

Hope you'll dig out your fun stamps to join us?!? ~SL~

Happy Monday!

The color combo for this week is PINK - RED- BLACK AND WHITE....

My card is featuring the Most Wonderful Card Kit from The Stamp Market (no longer available). I color blended the Heart Stencil that was included in the kit....and used a bigger SU Heart Die to cut it out. The Thank You Layering Die is also from The Stamp Market. At last I scored the lines and added some Silver Pearls. The colors for my card are SU- Pretty in Pink and PTI - Pure Poppy.
