Loves Rubberstamps - Kirkland Inspiration

Hello Friends,

I am back with another Loves Rubberstamps challenge for you today.  The challenge is Kirkland Inspiration.  So off to Kirklands.com to find something inspiring.  I found this picture and I love how fun it is with all the bright colors.

Our sponsor this week is Sweet N Sassy.

I decided to use Whimsy Kenny K, All That, image.  It is stamped on cryogen paper with memento ink and colored with copics.  This is not a typical image for me, but I loved coloring her up.  It made me feel young again.  After I colored her up, I cut her out with Spellbinders Labels 14 die, then cut another one out of black cardstock to set behind the colored image.  I added some background around the image with miscellaneous Autumn Leaves and Paper Inspiration stamps. 

I pulled out some fun Tim Holtz distress inks to create the background. My desk was a mess!  I tend to start inking and stamping when I get those inks out and I forget to write things down.  I did some emboss resist and some general inking on the background.  After I finished embossing and inking, I used some Tim Holtz white picket distress stain to lighten up a few more areas of the background.  My thinking was to make the background of the card fun and hopefully look somewhat like the inspiration picture.  I was happy with the result.

I decided I would make a tag to pull out of the image to add some extra fun with this card.  Since I used a Tim Holtz metal embellishment (Life is about creating yourself), I thought the Amy R sentiment, would be perfect on the tag.  I did the tag in the same method I did the background of the card. 

Here is a closer look at the background paper.
