Fly

Now is the time... yes, never hesitate to spread your wing & fly!  This week I will not be available on Saturday so I decided to combine two challenge I never get to combine.... Our Creative Corner (my DT post) along with Unity Stamp Company's Friends with Flair!

Lori is our challenge coordinator this week for Our Creative Corner, she has an inspiration photo for us along with the added challenge of "modern-inspired" which she thinks of as the opposite of vintage/distress.  Well, I did the best I could drawing heavily on the colors in the photo along with the bed frame that I repeated in my card frame.  I really think it works :-)

I didn't use hardly any printed paper on this design as it all seemed too fussy for the challenge, however I did ink the background using a Tim Holtz Inking tool with CloseToMyHeart ink ink Lagoon, I repeated this color for the cloud stamps.

All Stamps - Unity Stamp Co.'s KOTM Love in an Instant (do I use this set too much?  probably)

Inks - Blue... CTMH Lagoon; Red... CTMH Cranberry, Brown... Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy

Kraft Paper - Canvas Corp

I did smear the Brushed Corduroy down the face of my "frame" to give it a wood look

Stripe Paper - MyMind'sEye Lush in Yellow

Bling - CTMH Glitz Stardust
