Inkspirations Challenge #67 - Strength & Hope

Well, it certainly has been a while since I was here last! Like everyone else, I have had a couple of those really busy weeks where you don't seem to manage to get everything done that you would like to, so the blogging & commenting have been sadly neglected. Hopefully I will get to have a big catch up over the next few days & see all the wonderful creations everyone has been sharing.

Anyway, this week Keesh has a great sketch to get the creative juices flowing:-

I have chosen to use the beautiful new SU set, Strength & Hope, a set which has been designed to help raise funds for Breast Cancer research:-

The main panel has been masked, sponged & stamped repeatedly with the powerful words from the Strength & Hope set. The Navy panel has been stamped with the Very Vintage Wheel. Here's a close up:-

Please make sure you check out the awesome inspiration pieces from the Design Team. We hope you can join us at Inkspirations this week:-

Lynne Armstrong said...: This is just beautiful Helen. The pink & navy is a stunning colour combo and I love how you masked the panel for the butterfly to sit over the circle. The whole card is very pretty and elegant :)
