Inkspirational Photo Inspiration Challenge

Hello everyone!  It's time for another challenge over at Inkspirational!  This time its a photo inspiration challenge!


Let this gorgeous picture inspire you!  I love the cherry blossoms.  It's what I used as my inspiration for my card.  Take a look...


I first masked off my area with some washi tape then sponged pink and yellow dye ink. They blended together to make lovely orangey areas. I then stamped my cherry blossoms in black.  Then I coloured them in with some spectrum noir markers and a white gel pen.  I kept it pretty subtle.  Then I stamped my sentiment (Fiskars) in black.  Then the mask was removed.  I think I've become a one layer junkie as I seem to being making more and more one layers!  LOL.

I hope you'll join me and the girls in all the fun.  You have to check out the other Ink DT members projects at least.  They are fabulous!  You know what else is fabulous?  Our Guest Designer is!  It's none other than the delightful Darnell of djkardkreations!  She's a talented card artist, a hysterically funny blogger and a wonderful person too!  Her card is fantastic, so go take a look!

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

Addicted to CAS - code word is Mask.
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes
One-Layer Simplicity Challenge - Blend
Penny Black and More - Anything but a digi

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