Inkspirational Challenge - Prompt Word - Sprinkle

Hello!  It's a lovely day for a new challenge over at Inkspirational!  This challenge we have a prompt word for you.  Sprinkle!


There are a lot of ways to interpret this word.  Because of my HUGE sweet tooth I immediately thought sprinkles on cupcakes!  But then I saw that a few of my teammates had the same idea.  Great minds, people, great minds!  I thought, okay, let's see if I can come up with something else.  I admit I was stumped a little.  Then I thought well, I could actually "sprinkle" something on my card like ink or something.  So, that's what I did!  Take a look....




As it turns out a couple of my teamies had the same notion too!  Ah, we are so in tune with each other!  LOL!  Anyway, I decided to use a NBUS stamp by Stampendous.  It's a lovely stamp reminiscent of those old style seed package ads.  I stamped it in Soft Suede (SU!) then coloured it in lightly with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I stamped a script stamp, a treble cleft and a section of sheet music (7 Gypsies) several times in soft suede stamping off to keep it subtle.  I sponged the soft suede as well as some mellow moss and perfect plum (both SU!) around the image.  Then I "sprinkled" some watered down perfect plum ink and some gold perfect pearls mist.  I stamped my sentiment (STAMPlorations) in timber brown StazOn ink.  I added a pale purple sheer bow.  I'm pretty sure I found this ribbon at the dollar store.  It's really pretty.  This is a one layer card except for the bow.

I hope you'll all be able to join us and play along over at Inkspirational.  You need to check out the projects by the DT and our fabulous Guest Designer, Beate of Stempelomis Bastelkeller.  Her card is fantastic so please go visit and leave her some love.  :-)
