Olas Moon

I can make that!
Hi there! Glad you're here and hope you're having a good week. 
Today, I'm sharing a couple of inspiration pieces. My first one is a slimline sized card inspired by a new series of printed papers I'm gaga for. I decided not to share the link because it's from a competitive company and this week is all about Unity. When I saw the different designs of loose watercolored style paintings that abstractly look like landscapes, I thought, "I can make that!" Ha! Well, I need a lot of practice and a lot more patience to work with watercolor. Mine doesn't really look like the inspiration but I do like how it turned out. I use the sentiment kit called, No Better Words, as well as the full moon from the SMAK kit, Look Up & Get Lost. After the panel dried I splattered it with white acrylic paint, then stamped and embossed the moon in white and the trees in black with some stardust powder sprinkled in to look like light from the moon coming through. The water area reflection was done by lifting color using water and the round moon from the No Better Words kit. I love the slim sentiments in that kit and think they're perfect for cards where the art wants to shine. 

My second inspiration piece comes from a tapestry I came across while looking for items for my granddaughter's bedroom. Instead of a card, I made it a 5x7 framed piece and really like it.  
I used the moons from Look Up & Get Lost, the Star Confetti stencil, and floral bits from, In My Garden and Circle of Friendship. I stamped and embossed in layers, green, then pink. The moons are silver. The little flowers and butterflies were hand cut and added separately. The whole panel was spritzed and splattered with shimmer and stars. 
What has inspired you lately? 

Thanks for stopping by & have a great Wednesday! I'll be painting and playing with my Little Moon all day!
