Mother Teresa's Water Lily - MTTI 05

Hello again. Second post today. I'm loving the colors for this week's My Time To Create Inspiration challenge. Now I saw the colors as: turquoise, bright pink, bright green, and blush. Not too sure if they were the intended colors, but oh well.


For this challenge, I just had to use a stamp set I've had from Our Daily Bread called Mother Teresa. The sayings from Mother Teresa in the set paired with the water lily image are just perfect for any color combo, and especially this one.

I started by stamping on my card with Stampin Up! Green Galore ink to create a subtle background and then again on the Stampin Up! Tempting Turquoise layer. The main image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo black ink twice and colored with prismacolor markers with one image cut out to be popped up on dimensionals later. Once I was done coloring, I softly stippled Stampin Up! Bashful Blue ink and sponged Stampin Up! Blush Blossom ink around the water lily before layering on Pixie Pink.

I stamped my saying in the same Memento Tuxedo black ink and stippled & sponged again, before layering once more on a Pixie Pink scrap. Now that the basics of the card was done, I then added my cut out lily on dimensionals and some pink metallic faux brad stickers I had found at Joann's about a year ago (and still had) before sponging Stamping Up! Green Galore ink around the card to finish it off.

My Time To Color 03

Have you ever been a week late and a dollar short? Well, I'm there again. I finally got my My Time To Color challenge completed, photographed and uploaded. Two of the three have been done for a few days now. It's been number three that's been holding up progress. So now that I've finally gotten myself moving here, let me explain a bit about what I did for my entry.

I decided to use my new Weiman Wranglers digi images, and are they ever fun to work with, not to mention the proceeds go to a great cause. I colored my Wranglers with Prismacolor markers and stippled Stampin Up! old olive ink around them before layering on a die cut top note I received from a secret sister a couple of rounds ago. Taking my PTI Wishing You set, I took the littlest tulips and tried my best to make a large rock-n-rolled mushroom, but I'm not sure if it looks like that. PTI Damask Designs is stamped for the backgrounds on the card and mustard layers. The sayings are popped up on dimensionals and All Night Media pop dots.

Close up of the individual cards are below.

My Time To Inspire MTTI01

This is post number three today even with a migraine, although my left eye doesn't like me. If I begin to ramble, please excuse me.

This week's inspiration piece was a beautiful dress and the colors were just so simple and easy to work with; they just screamed flowers to me.

I pulled out my Papertrey Wishing You set and again used the keep it simple stamper method thanks to my head. Stamped the tulips in spring moss and lavender moon with the tops being stamped twice so I could cut them out and pop up on dimensionals. Using a Martha Stewart butterfly punch, I punched some scrap lavender moon cardstock and picked the smaller butterflies to become "faux" brads in the top corners only. Using Handwritten Notes, I overstamped the saying in memento tuxedo black. Very simple and pretty just like the inspiration piece.
