Inkspirational Challenge - Prompt Word, "Note"

Greetings and Happy New Year!  I hope you all had a lovely time ringing in the New Year.  It was a quiet one for me and my family but I'm good with that.  :-)  I'm rather a homebody at heart.  Anyway, it's the first challenge of the new year for Inkspirational and it's a prompt word this time.


Interpret it as you will.  I was rather literal with my interpretation.  I got to try out some new inks I got for Christmas though, which was fun.  Check it out...




So, I stamped my feathers (STAMPlorations, Trendy Feathers set) in my new Memento inks (Dandelion, Cantaloupe, Tangelo, Lady Bug) along one side.  Then I used my Heirloom Gold spray (Perfect Pearls Mist) and sprayed overtop.  I then stamped my sentiment (same STAMPlorations set) in black.  I attached my panel to a kraft card base.  I love the brightness of this card. I am totally loving the Perfect Pearls mist too.  It's so sparkly but its kind of subtle.  I hope you can see it better in the detail photo.  It doesn't do it justice though.

I do hope you will join us over at Ink and play along.  The other DT girls have created some really lovely cards so you should definitely check them out.  Plus, we have a wonderful Guest Designer with us this challenge.  Please go visit, Marika of Me and Minime Crafting.  She is a truly talented card artist and has made a fabulous card for this challenge.

I'm going to link up to the following challenges:

STAMPlorations - January challenge is "Stamps & Ink".
STAMPlorations - their ongoing "anything goes" challenge.
CAS-ology - cue word is Light.  Ever hear that saying"light as a feather"?  Well, that's how I interpreted the cue word.
AAA Cards - "use a little gold"

I'd also like to take a moment to welcome some new followers.  Vickie of On The Fringe, Shery of That One Layer Mixed Media Girl and STAMPlorations, Bridget of Bridget Larsen, Lee-Anne of Creatively LA, Joey of Joey's Stuff, and Desire of Doing Life.  All very talented card artists and well worth going over to their blogs for a visit.  Welcome!  :-)

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Crushing over your 'light as a feather' card, Kim; I love that set and you've worked magic with it! The colours, with the sheen of shimmer, are so day-brightening and smile-making. In love...Your warm, compassionate comments of late are so deeply appreciated! You are an absolute gem! (Hope you're checking out Clearly Besotted: new release happening *grin*)
    Hugs~c

    I feel so dumb - I was looking at your card, thinking how is this 'light' and had to read the feather part. After I made a feather card as my DT card! Time to get the brain turned back on after the holidays, I think! lol! I love the gorgeous colours and the movement you've created! So glad you joined us at CASology this week, Kim! Happy New Year!

    Beautiful use of those feathers Kim! It actually looks like old quill pens with that "note" sentiment. Great layering of colors.
