If you are hopping along, you should be arriving from the amazingly talented blog of our resident super-crafter, Pinky! If you don't know what I'm talking about, please pop over to Imaginisce for all the details!
Aphra and Courtney bring to you this photo and color challenge for inspiration:
To be eligible, you must link up your challenge project on the Feb 1st post by Friday Feb 25th. Be certain that your project includes at least 75% Imaginisce products!
Here is what this challenge inspired me to create:
Please meet my "Dreaming of Spring!" sweet bouquet and card set. I saw the idea to use "Dum Dum" suckers for the floral centers in a project from the February issue of Scrapbooks, Etc. They used them to create some tissue paper flowers. I thought... how totally fun would this be for this challenge and to use with our Roly Rosies and Pop Up Posies!?!
The little can I picked up at Michael's along with some twisty white floral accents. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch. I used my I-Rock and gems to give her a special glow. : ) I used the 28mm I-Top punch for a floral layer here. The leaves I hand cut from some pretty Garden Party papers. I'm in love with these flowers! They are so fun, easy to do and our Petal Roller tool makes them come alive! I also used my handy I-Bond to attach them to the suckers. A close up for you:
I had to make a card to go along with the bouquet! These papers are from the Enchanted collection. Heart punches are from Marvy Uchida, rub-on; Sizzix, rosebud, Prima; spinners (2), Ranger; other misc., button, thread. I printed the sentiment on white cardstock from my PC.
The HOP Prize: This hop's winner will receive an I-Bond with accessories. To be eligible, you must comment and follow on each designer's blog and then back at the Imaginisce blog.
That's all I have for you today, your next stop on this fabulous hop is our lovely Challenge maven... Aphra!!!
