Hello peeps - sorry I haven't had anything to share with you during the last couple of weeks, but at last, another Post - my DT project for the For Your Inspiration Challenge. The colours of the inspiration photo were the starting point for my card, but you can interpret the image in any way you wish - hope to see lots more of your fabulous designs. You have plenty of time to enter - two weeks, so get out those inks and papers!
*************

Recipe:-
White cardstock
Hero Arts Clings stamp - Blooming Meadow, stamped onto white card with Versamark ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Distress Inks applied over the image - Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint. Surplus ink removed from the image with tissue paper. (As I'm sure you know, this is the "Resist" technique - so called, as the embossing resists the ink).
Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold was spritzed over the ink, but the shimmer doesn't show on the photo!
*********
The double panels were not part of my plan - I just chopped a bit off to make the large panel narrower, so it would fit on a smaller card. When I saw them side by side on the table, I had a light-bulb moment and somehow ended up with this!!
Panels are layered onto Stampin' Up Certain Celery.
Linen Twine also from Stampin' Up.

What an elegant card Sylvia. Wonderful color combo and I love how the color blends from intense to soft. Distress Inks are wonderful tools and you use them so beautifully.
Please send some cool wet weather our way. 106 degrees today and no rain for a few months. We are having a drought that hasn't been seen since the 1930's and may be going to set a new record this year. We got to start being careful of what we wish for in winter....LOL "Hugs"
hi, love to hear, there are more distress addicts on the planet ! =)
great card and love the results !! very very lovely creations !
greetings, martina

Fabulous Sylvia! Your colour blending is brilliant and the stamp design is just gorgeous. Love your 'light bulb' moment and the twine around the smaller piece is a great finishing touch.

HI Sylvia, Gorgeous creation. Love the colours and how you 'layered' the distress inks. Great image, I also own the blooming meadow stamp :) I hope to participate in this challenge, but have company for a week, arriving today. Take care, Shirleyx
Just beautiful, Sylvia! I love your card to bits. :-)
I love everything about this! Those distress inks really are amazing, aren't they? Gorgeous card Sylvia!
Beautiful!
I absolutely love when design ideas come along by accident! So glad you used both pieces because this is so striking! Gorgeous job with the blending too.
Hi Sylvia, beautiful creation and love the effect of the white embossing...it creates depth in the image. warm greet Miranda
Gorgeous card, Sylvia. The two panels are a great idea. See you soon. Rachel.
This is stunning Sylvia! Perfectly inked. I love that the panels just came together as happenstance. So fun when that happens.
I was just thinking how brilliant the two panels worked and I would borrow that idea as it looks so good if I may. Just goes to show how inventions happen even when you don't intend them doesn't it.
It's a stunning card, Sylvia. I love your colour scheme and it's one of my favourite techniques.
Hope all is good with you, I'll be in touch!!!
Enjoy the sunshine, I'm keeping everything crossed that it appears!!
Hugs Lisax
Ooohhhh I LIKE a LOT... Even tho it isn't pink! LOL! Those flowers look so beautiful in the white resist against those fabulous background colours. And I like the idea of the light bulb moment.. I could do with some of those! LOL

Gosh, I can't find the words to say what I think about this car, I love it, it is fabulous, the colours are stunning, love the panel seperated from the main image, it is very cleverly put together, glad that you have let the image speak for itself, it certainly doesn't need any tarting up.
Perfect, superb, love it. Wish I could do something so classy.
Well I found a few words there.
