Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop

 With a bold, unique color scheme and a unique arrangement of basic shapes the amazing collage artist Rex Ray use of shape and painted textures were especially inspiring for this month's Blog Hop challenge.

January inspiration

When I saw this month's Blog Hop picture challenge I thought of surf boards and California beaches. But I went a different direction with the fun shapes from the Sketched Shapes stamp set instead.

SAF Make It Work Challenge

 --Create a new card from pieces of reject cards or alter a card from earlier today that you were not happy with. 

I was trying for a single layer card, found my card lacked "UMPH" and "Wow"
                                                                   

Before Card

 After Card Making it Work!!!


I can hear Tim Gunn saying make it work!! My first card uses the Garden Gild stamp set on one layer. A bit too plain and uninspiring. After the judges in my head said you really missed the mark on this one I went back to the studio and added the Garden Gild cover plate and die cut some of the additional flowers. I painted the flowers with my Zig Real Brush markers and also added some sequins to give that extra POP. The judges in my head were much happier with this second card. YEA!!!




SAF 2015 Red Carpet Finale






What a fabulous and FUN day at Papertrey Ink Stamp A Faire 2015!!! Here is my closing picture of me wearing my wonderful new felt necklace with a few of my SAF cards in the background.
