Guest Designer - Inspirational Challenge!


A couple of weeks ago I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest designer for Inkspirational Challenges...and today I'm sharing my card for their new challenge, where the theme is:

'Waves'

When I was given the theme, I immediately thought of this cute Penny Black stamp called 'Fishing!'...with the little hedgies setting sail on the ocean waves in search of a catch! I coloured the image using watercolour pencils...matching the papers from the 'Shoreline' pad by American Crafts. I distressed all of the edges a little, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Anytime Messages' set by Hero Arts...I masked of the 'W' at the start of the sentiment before inking, then replaced it with an 'F' using a black gel pen.

    Greetings from Cornwall! I just had to take time out from packing up for our return journey to thank you for being our wonderful Guest Designer at Inkspirational. This card is so cute and colourful and I'm in awe of all your clever tricks. The faux stitching looks totally real and the sentiment surgery is seemless and absolutely perfect. Love it!
