Today's SplitcoastStampers Inspiration Challenge comes from a Pinterest Board for Drinks. I chose this refreshing Blackberry Mint Cucumber Gin Spritzer as my inspiration. I loved how the colors moved from dark at the bottom to light at the top of the glass … I also loved the pop of green with the purpley blue hues.
My background was created using Color Burst Water Color Powders and a floral stencil on a vintage dictionary page. After it dried, I added stamps from Finnabair's Don't Forget to Fly (this is my first time buying this brand of stamps … they are stunning and so reasonably priced for the large number of stamps).
My woman sort of faded into my background, so I used a white Sharpie marker to create a dotted frame around her head. I stamped the sentiments from the set onto the margins of the dictionary page. I also paper pieced a butterfly from a scrap of text as well.
I finished with a textured green mat that reminded me of the mint leaves as well as a 3-D butterfly sticker and a few sequins.
This is amazing!!
LOVE it! You used your Color Burst powders, eh? Maybe I’ll keep mine and continue to play with them, then.
