I like doing challenges as a way to find inspiration. Pinspired Challenge #5 is the first of their challenges I have tried, which is awful of me because my sweet friend Jen is on their Design Team and I adore her talent, especially with stamps. She is seriously one of my stamping heroes. This particular challenge was tough for me because I have a love/hate relationship with rainbows. I felt like this was a great way to challenge myself to use their selected pin to work with something that I don't normally do. Of course, a heart had to sneak its way onto the card, and I am going to hand-letter if I get a chance. I can't change everything that makes what I do mine, right?
I used a 7 gypsies paper, that was black and white patterned and used my Prismacolor Colored pencils to color in the swirls. Then, I punched the heart, and added a doodle to mimic the swirls. I was happy with how it turned out, and it is always fun to get to play along with friends. There's still time for you to play too!
Have a sweet day!
