Hello friends! Welcome back for a new challenge at Inspired By! We've had a break in July but we are beginning again with our weekly challenge. I am still enjoying summer. Still dreaming of cook-outs, travel and the pool. Don't want it to end.
This is just the card I pictured making when I saw this darling set from Penny Black. Yes, it is brand-new! I lightly sponged the background. Next, I stamped the sea plants and added color by painting with Distress Inks. A bit of masking helped with the arrangement, and I saved the best for last! I love the star fish. Doesn't he look like he's dancing along? There's sparkle too! Added along the sand with a mousse, and with clear Nuvo Drops for the bubbles.
We have two options to inspire you.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Cindy, it's just beautiful! Perfection in every way. Your background is a dreamy underwater scene with, of course, a watercolor wash. Your bubbles are awesome. Yes, he does look like he's dancing! He's enjoying summer, too. I saw these new PB sea life sets and will probably end up with them, too. Love!
WOW! That background is so beautiful, fresh, and perfect for that set! You are such an artist my friend, this is incredible!
Oh Cindy, I saw this card over at The Paper Players and had to come by and have a better look. I love your new Penny Black stamp set and that starfish looks completely happy in his under water oasis. Your entire seascape is wonderful! I am off to have a look at this set now! Thanks for playing along at The Paper Players. I also hope to play along with Inspired by too! Take care!
Amazing background Cindy, I'm diggin' the bubbles! This is a marvelous underwater scene!

That is a cool starfish and she does look like she's dancing along in that really stunning sand and ocean background you created for her, Cindy! My eyes are dancing as they take in all the subtleties and schparkle! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Keep enjoying summertime! Hugs, Darnell
