Adornit Summer Blog Party & Blog Hop

This two-page layout is based on a sketch I created. I freehanded the 'water' shape. It's made using Hot Off The Press' Pool Water paper. I free-handed the lines using a Marvy marker in light teal. The orange brads are just regular large brass brads that can be found at an office supply store. I coated them with Colorbox orange pigment ink. Then coated in clear embossing powder and heat set. I repeated the ink and embossing again to add a layer to give the brad a little more solid coloring. The title is created using ColorBok's alpha die cuts. I used adhesive to attach the letters to the orange cardstock. Then I outlined the letters using a Zig 005 marker. Finally, I cut out the title using both X-Acto knife and scissors.  This was inspired by Kristina Werner's Thank You card which you can see here. The background stripe paper is from an 8-sheet Sunny Days Collection scrapbooking paper set found in the dollar section of Target stores. I placed a self-adhesive 8 1/2 x 11 vellum sheet under the water element and title.  Enjoy.

Color Inspiration Challenge

Who is your favorite paper crafting goddess? Stacey Julian? Leah Fung? Heidi Swapp? Becky Higgins?

While I love all of these goddesses, my personal favorite may be someone you've never heard of, yet - Kristina Werner.  Kristina works at Stampin' Up! as a graphic artist. So, she helped design some of the great stamps you probably have in your craft stash. But, even better in her spare time she creates color inspiration challenges and videos stepping you through fabulous card creations.  

The photo is from Kristina's challenge this week. Hurry, the challenge ends Thursday, December 4 at 7:00 pm MT. 

Visit Kristina's blog, kwernerdesign.com .  View her videos on You Tube here .

I hope you find Kristina as inspiring as I do.
