We have a new challenge starting over at Sweet Stampin' today. This fortnight we'd like your project to reflect inspiration from either a book, a song or a film.
I'll be honest, I usually struggle to get started with these challenges and this one was no exception. I tried quite a few ideas but wasn't happy with any of them. Fortunately, when I was deliberating whether I could show the French film Intouchable to my third years, inspiration struck! The central character in the film is a big fan of Kool and the Gang, and I knew I had a press plate that would link to the song Celebration.
I decided that I would keep the design fairly simple so that the bold lettering could take centre stage. The press plate set comprises two plates, giving you the option to layer the design. I hot-foiled the letters in matte gold and then used the Betterpress to stamp the flowers over the top. I was so pleased how this turned out!
I cut a gold mat to go behind the focal panel and adhered this to an A2 card base. I added a few moonstone dew drops for some subtle embellishment and called it done.
I hope you can join in our Inspired by... challenge. All the details, as well as inpiration from the Sweeties, are over on the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.
Have a great weekend
