Aloha and E Komo Mai to another edition of Magical Monday at There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes. Today's challenge is set by Nilla who asked us to be inspired by a photo of a beautiful bouquet and using any image from the Paper Cupcakes store. Well, I was inspired by the flower arrangement and the tallness of the object, so I used the gorgeous Afternoon Tea image! I used a technique to color that I haven't done in awhile, I printed the image on watercolor paper and then colored with my dye-based ink pads and a waterbrush. FUN!! Got inspired by the technique blog hop at Just Add Ink and fab toot by Sarah. I also used the toot from Kristy on making flowers from this same blog hop. Unfortunately I particpated in too many other challenges with this one to submit it to their blog hop, but it was still nice being inspired by the great techniques. So here's the inside of this card:
Here's are the other challenges I was inspired by:
1. Bee Crafty - Something New: I made this thinking it could be used for a welcome to the neighborhood or to your new house
2. colourQ - Kiwi Kiss, Groovy Guava, Kraft, basic black and vanilla: This worked out perfectly as I had these in ink pads...and I LOVE Kiwi Kiss!!!
3. Creative Inspirations Challenge - Punches or die cuts: My main image on the front is cut and embossed with a nestability and then I used the MS fence border punch. Oh yeah, the flowers were cut out with the blossom nesty too
4. Delightful Sketches & Challenges - sketch
5. Digi Doodle Shop’s Best - Ribbon
6. Fairy Fun Fridays Challenge blog - use flowers
7. Meljen’s Designs - flowers and blooms
8. Ooh LaLa Creations - bright and cheerful
9. Paper Makeup Stamps - use 3 flowers
10. Pile It On -photo inspiration
11. Pixie Dust Studio Challenge - cut it out
12. Quixotic Challenges - Let your garden grow (DIY flowers)
13. Res-Q Challenge - make a project inspired by one of the "superfoods": I got Kiwi on this one! :)
14. S2G challenges - home + ribbon
15. Your Next Stamp - cut it out and pop it up: cut that cup out and popped it up :)
Thanks for stopping by and here's hoping you have a magical week!
Aloha,

Amazing! I just had to enlarge it to get a closer look at the little flowers you made. Love the ribbon centers! Color combo is perfect and really like the little fence 'out back' in the design. Of course I am also focusing on that littel tea cup wondering what's in it! Have a great day.
