Happy Saturday, friends!
I am super excited to host October's Inspiration Challenge over Altenew Card Blog. As we are much more home-bound than the previous years, I am looking into my surrounding even more.
All (highlighted in bold) products used are linked at the end of this post.
As the tree leaves in our backyard are starting to change colors, I am once reminded that beauty is where you look for it. The tree photo was taken from my backyard last year and I thought it would be awesome for our inspiration.
Lucky for me, I have Fragile Foliage in my stash. It is a smaller stamp set and yet it has so many lovely design details that you can use this set all year round.
Let's start with the background, I applied Honey Drizzle, Warm Sunshine and Almond Butter from 1/3 top down. With the Woven Stencil and the Ink-Blending Tool, I had a best time creating a textured background.
I love the intricate leafy trees and decided to stamp them in various colors. The Stamp Positioner such as MISTI allows you to stamp each color at a time. Here I used Lime, Firefly, Snapedragon for the leaves and Almond Butter for the tree trunks. The inking process would be easier if you use mini cube sets. I used my regular oval sets and manged just fine, too.
I hope this tree scene inspired you to get inky. You can simply used these three subtle colors to create any floral, nature or any themes that you desire.
You can also draw the inspiration from the photo's sketch and theme. Go ahead and step outside of your comfort zone (art-wise!) and start creating with your lovely Altenew supplies!
It will be awesome if you stop by Altenew Card Blog to leave me some love. I hope that you join the inspiration challenge as I 'd love to see what YOU create!
