Stormie

Welcome back to my blog my friends.  Here it is Tuesday and time for another {Pin}spirational Challenge.

Our Sponsors this week are Eureka (Team 1) and they will award the winner 5 free digital images,


and Pink Petal (Team 2).

Check out this beautiful photo for our inspiration.

I thought it would be fun to use the black/white colors to create my card.

Isn't she gorgeous.  I really don't think I've done her justice, but it was fun playing with her hair. ;)
Materials Used:
  • Digital Image - Digistamps4Joy - Stormie
  • Sentiment - Stampin Up - All About U
  • Cardstock - Stampin Up - Basic Black; Xpress It Blending Card
  • Designer Paper - Black Market Paper Society - Ebony & Alabaster
  • Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Accessories:  Nestabilties - Classic Circle Die and Lacey Circle Die; Stampin Up Border Punch, small oval, and large oval punches; Flower - my stash; Ribbon - my stash: Bowdabra Hair Tool
  • Copic Markers:  B91, C3, C5, C7; E50, E51, E53, V22; R20, R21; Y15, Y19, Y38; 0
I finished the sentiment on the inside of the card and added a strip of the designer paper along the bottom.

 Now it's your turn.  Don't forget to hop over to {Pin}spirational Challenge and check out what the rest of the Design Team has to show you.  Then ink up your stamps and get to making a card to enter in the challenge.  Two chances to win!
