October 2016 Inspiration Challenge

by Sveta Fotinia

october2016_altenewinspiraitonchallenge_svetaHello everyone!

It's time for our October 2015 Inspiration challenge and this time Sveta prepared for you this autumn photo.

I took this photo in my favorite park where I used to walk when I was a child with my granddad. I always tried to pretend that we are walking in the forest and asked my granddad to go deeper inside the park not to see any cars or buildings. Especially I liked this park in autumn – we were always back from a walk with leaves bouquet for granny.

So I put all my sweet memories into this card

For the cardbase I chose Spicy Yogurt cardstock and blended it at the top with our newest inks: Espresso Dye InkMocha Dye InkRockyShore Dye InkSand Dunes Dye Ink.

To create autumn foliage I stamped lot of leaves from Doodle Blooms Stamp Set and die cut it with coordinating  Doodle Blooms Die Set. Then I used watercolor brush pens to color them in three colors: yellow, orange and red. I didn't try to get in lines because wanted to achieve a messy watercolor look. I covered all die cuts with Wink of Stella shimmer and adhered them on a card base making dimension.

This little girl from the Dancing In The Rain Stamp Set is perfect to show little me in the park (looks really like me:) I used coordinating Dancing In The Rain Die Set to cut her out and adhered with foam adhesive. The sentiment I used is from Precious Moments Stamp Set.

Sveta, this is darling/beautiful and the colors are stunning! I love your story behind your design! I’ve been holding off with my purchase of Dancing in the Rain set(s) but you’ve inspired me and may need to purchase this sooner rather than later. ;) TFS
