Hi everyone!
Welcome to day 2 of the Naturally Inspired Collection blog hop! You should have arrived here from Deepti's blog. The complete list is below if you get lost along the way.
The collection goes up for sale on Wednesday, June 7th at
10am. StampNation members that are on the wait list will be notified first (a perk of being a member!) and then the rest of the wait list will be notified.
**The box is only available while supplies last.**
Make sure that you are on the Wait List to be notified when it is available.
One thing that keeps me "Naturally Inspired" is nature. I am always amazed at the amazing ways God blesses us with His creativity, using sunrises, sunsets and all the amazing colors during the different seasons!
If you follow my blog and know me well, you know I love rainbows, there is just something about all the bright colors together side by side. I just love that.
I absolutely LOVE using the images in the Wild Garden stamp set as silhouettes. Especially, stamped over a sponged sunset background. I only used three of the 9 images in the set. I can see myself reaching for this set over and over again. I thought the sentiment from the Birds of a Feather stamp set went well with my little scene.
My second card features the Medallion Mix-up & Simply the Best stamp sets.
The Medallion Mix-up stamp set is a big one, with SO many options for creating amazing medallions in many different colors. I fell in love with the biggest one. I love that it can be the focal point of your card, yes, it's that big. I stamped the best right over top of the stamped medallions and created a fun border using the diamond stamp in the Simply the Best stamp set.
It's now time to start hopping along, but before you go make sure to leave a comment on each stop along the hop letting us know what inspires you?
One winner will be chosen at random from EACH day's comments and
announced on June 9th on Catherine's blog. The winners will win their box and
if you have already purchased it, you will be issued a Gift Certificate worth $100 towards a future purchase.

Thank you for visiting and happy hopping! :)
Love your color combinations. This box is so creative...can't wait to play with the medallions!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristie, I'm with you, on the infinite variety of colours and shades in the sky, depending on the time of year and the time of day, and the state of the weather! Always something beautiful going on, if you look up...
ReplyDeleteI really love the silhouette effect of those wild-flowers stamped in black. Your medallion card is so bold and graphic! I can see how playing with the different combinations of circles would be addictive. Thanks for the inspiration!
Gorgeous cards! Love the silhouettes on the sunset background!
ReplyDeleteKristie as always I just love your style. The sunset silhouette card is fabulous and I can also see myself making quite a few cards using the wild garden set as a silhouette and changing the sunset colours slightly.
ReplyDeleteSilhouettes are such a striking way to showcase a mood or idea...your card has it all!
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting to see your silhouette card. It's beautiful!

ReplyDeleteI've always thought God is a great artist. Your first card reflects that. It's beautiful. What inspires me? Florals....the colors, the shapes and the scents. Yesterday, I stopped to smell the roses at the grocery store parking lot. Mmmmmm. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteUsing the Wild Garden set as silhouette was such a great idea!!! Can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing!!
