I would be totally lying if I didn't say that everything I'll be doing this week is inspired by what I learned at Convention and the many wonderful free stamps that they gave us....but I will also honestly say that the colors and textures of the inspiration site were also inspiring, especially this image with blended colors and soft circular undertones like the stamp set:
You can't tell but I capitalized on the bleed through on the back and used it as my guide to push the lantern images forward from the back with a stylus. This makes them appear rounded on the front of the card - giving a single layer card some dimension! It's a really neat effect (like toile) which is hard to capture in a photo. (If you don't like bleed through try using GinaK heavy weight pure luxury card stock as it doesn't bleed through - expect the colors to change slightly as well though.)
Please join us and create something uniquely inspired of your own this week!

Oh Audrie, how clever to bump out the images from the back!! I love the colors of the lanterns!
