June Challenge at The Four Seasons

It's time for the June Challenge at The Four Seasons Challenge Blog and we really hope you'll join us again this month.  We have an awesome inspiration photo to help you get your creativity kick-started in the right direction.  Maybe some of the colors speak to you, or maybe it's an image or a texture.  Whatever you see that inspires your creativity, we look forward to seeing the art you create when you see it.  This is how I was inspired this month.  All the products used to make this card are from Creative Worship Stamps.

I used a bright cardstock base that I cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Creative Worship Stamps.  I used their Sketched Roses Stamp Set to stamp all the pretty roses and foliage that I placed around on my card.  The white piece underneath that was also cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I ink smooshed that white watercolor paper background and stamped it with Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set for the music notes.

So, when I looked at the inspiration board (above), you can tell right away that I didn't take anything literally.   Meaning...I didn't necessary recreate the same images as seen in the photo.  What did inspire me, however, were the flowers (which are purple lilacs in the inspiration photo).  This gave me the desire to create with flowers.  The bright colors on the surf boards speak to my bright color choices.  What's speaking to you and to your creative side?  We can't wait to see.

The sentiment I added (bloom in faith) is also found in the Sketched Roses Stamp Set.  There are always cute sentiments in the stamp sets from Creative Worship; even the smaller sets.  I always love that.  I hope you check out both of these awesome places I've mentioned.  Creative Worship Stamps for some great shopping, and The Four Seasons Challenge Blog for a place to share your art and creativity.  We look forward to it.

I'm linking up to the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Anything Goes"

The Paper Players Challenge - Challenge #740 - Theme Challenge: Recycling Is In - The recycled item I used on my card is the white background panel.  This was a piece of scrap paper (headed for the garbage can because the stamped sentiment isn't perfect) that I rescued.  I started on this background for an entirely different card for which it just didn't work.  It then ended up in my "pile of stuff to be used".  It sat there for quite a while, and I finally ended up using it on this card.

Happy crafting!

Blessings,

Karen
