Bright and Pretty Inspired By #55


Hello! There's a new PRETTY photo to inspire you at Inspired By All the Little Things challenge #55.



I was totally inspired by the Oranges in this lovely bouquet and the the succulent looking blooms. For my card today, I stamped some images from a New company in the stamp world called, The Stamp Market. The set is named BLOOMED. Now how could I resist investing in this one, right?
The images in this set are solid, which are my favorite to color with ZIGGYs because the first layer of color is already laid down after stamping.
Here is a photo of the beginnings of my arrangement.

After coloring, I fussy cut the edge from the panel and layered it onto a piece of pattern paper from the Altenew Reflection Scrapbook Collection
I did brush some distress ink onto the paper to turn it green-ish blue.


Hope this inspires you to play along!
Can't wait to see how you are Inspired By!!

I have to agree with Lisa, LauraJane, your colouring skills truly are amazing. I love the way you stamped the solid images and then brought them to life with your Ziggys. Cutting around the image on the right side really made this a "wow" card. Beautiful work. Thanks so much for joining in on our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

Wow Laura Jane, your colouring skills are amazing. You've created such a beautiful piece of artwork with this image and card. The cut away edges around the flower layer just take this card to a whole different level. I like the wood grain background too. The colour is amazing and very feminine Thanks so much for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday WWC117 challenge this week.

What a brilliant interpretation for the photo challenge, LauraJane! I appreciated the tip about not shying away from the solid flower stamps; I hadn't thought of how they make a lovely base to layer with shading! Now, thanks to you, I have a big red spot on my forehead where I slapped myself, lol!! Hugs, Darnell
