Happy Thursday...again! My second post for the day, and it's an Inspired By...our last one of 2020! Such a pretty prompt, too:
And here's our optional sketch:
Those pretty balloons reminded me of a set I just purchased after seeing Michele's (she is my biggest enabler, doncha know?), so I had to get it inky:
I stamped my bunny on some Thick Whisper White cardstock in Stazon ink, then watercolored him in. The image itself has only one balloon, so I stamped several more and fussy-cut them out, then hand-drew some more strings:
In hindsight, I wish I had colored the balloons more intensely because when I added some Wink of Stella to it, the colors got a little muted....but it's still pretty, I guess! I mounted the white panel on a card base of Soft Seafoam and stamped a couple sentiments on the inside:
I just love this artist's artwork....and I am hoping maybe Santa will bring me some more this Christmas! Now, how will you interpret our last Inspired By challenge of the year? Remember, there's a prize to be won, so squeak in a little stamping time and you may be our winner! Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, I am SO NOT sorry if I truly was the reason you bought this set!!! It truly is wonderful, and found the perfect home in your hands!
ReplyDeleteLOve how you've added all the balloons - that little bunny, and maybe the recipient, deserves an armful! The muted colors are perfect for our inspiration!
My only question is WHY DIDN'T I use him??? LOL

Cute and you know I love that bunny! I like the paleness of the balloons and your added strings are perfect.
