August Inky Impressions New Digi Blog Hop

Welcome to Inky Impression's August blog hop! We are so glad you could join us.

If you arrived here from Julie Ann's blog you are on the right track. If not head on over to the Inky Impressions Inspirational Blog to start at the beginning. Be sure to comment on all blogs. One winner will be chosen at random for the whole digi release!! All comments need to be in by August 22^nd and the winner will be posted on the challenge blog August 23rd. .

It was difficult for me to make a simple card. However, I believe the pink trim makes the flower come to life. I hope I inspired you today. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Here is what I used to create my card:

I colored the flower with Copic markers RV10, RV13, RV21, E41, E42, E43.  For the background I inked the edges and used some Shabby Pink Frantage. To accentuate the flower I used this beautiful trim. The paper is from Prima Fairy Collection. The butterfly die is from Cherry Lynn and I added an inky pearl on to the butterfly.

A Vintage Canvas for a Man

Welcome to 7 Kids College Store Blog! August is just flying by; I do not want summer to be over.

Today I would like to share a vintage canvas I made using a burlap canvas.  It was definitely different to use the burlap but I enjoyed it working with the canvas. I don't usually create many masculine projects so this was a little of a challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Karen
