Splash of Color for Inkspirational
31 December 2017
Hi Everyone.
Firstly, a very Happy New Year to all of you. Lou and I hope that 2018 brings you all the wonderful things you wish for you and your loved ones. Thank you for all of your support during 2017 - it has been very much appreciated :-)
I saw this great challenge across at Inkspirational and it really made me think :-)
Now, it has been a looooong while since I just stamped and didn't use dies or some such thing. I decided it was a perfect opportunity to make a one layer card and it was a great chance to make a card for Lou to thank him for our fabulous trip to the Caribbean. I also decided it was the perfect time for a little color - especially as our part of the world is so brown and white - with no color at all :-)
I used a stamp set from Altenew called "Splash of Color" and used three of the splash stamps and made a little rainbow of splashes and clustered them around the sentiment.
Here's my card:
The colors reminded me of the Caribbean where the Islands are full of beautiful flowers and bright sunshine with turquoise waters. I hope this card brings a little bit of color to your evening.
On a personal note:
Well... I spent some time in my craft room yesterday - and today...and made 8 cards in total. That's 8 more in two days than I made in the previous two months! It took some time to get back into the swing of things and I must admit that my arthritic hands certainly could feel that I had been crafting :-) But... it did feel good to get down there and just do something!
I'll be back tomorrow with another card and a couple of snow shots for you. In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight - and once again, all very best wishes for 2018.
Hugs
Jaydee

Your rainbow splashes are absolutely delightful and have certainly brightened the cold, grey day we're having here. That you for sharing your artistry in the Inkspirational gallery! So glad to read that you're back into crafting; hope you'll join our new challenge that started today!
