Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration ~ Art Inspired


Today at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, we've been inspired by art. I personally am inspired by Van Gogh and his amazing ability to create with little teeny tiny strokes. I wanted to recreate something of his, but not copy it in it's entirety. I also wanted to add this amazing stamp {Blended Bloom}. Since I live on a farm, I thought it was a great idea to create a sunflower. This stamp is really versatile and fit the bill perfectly.




The "brush strokes" were created free-hand using SU Markers. Just scribble away!




I've really gotten into making matching envelopes. It is a fun way to take it an extra step further in creating a very unique, one of a kind card.


What I Used:
Cardstock ~ Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink ~ Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango, Gumball Green, Soft Sky, Lagoon, Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy, Early Espresso, Basic Black, Black StazOn
Stamp Sets ~ Blended Bloom, Something to Say
Tools ~ Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips, Dimensionals, Bone Folder, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Sponges, Blender Pen, Crystal Effects
