New Inspiration Station Challenge

 

We're back today on the Inspiration Station Challenge Blog with a new challenge:

The idea behind the challenge is that we give you an inspiration photo - you make something inspired by the photo AND tell us how you were inspired.

Here is the photo for this challenge:

I used the reverse masking technique to create my card and started by creating a mask using a circle die.  Then I applied Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink through the mask using a blending brush.  I also created a moon using a piece of Post-It Note die cut with a very small circle.

I then stamped the trees using a Memory Box stamp and added a black die cut frame.  The sentiment I've used is from Stampin' Up.

We're partnering with the Double Trouble Challenge Blog during this challenge - here are all the details:

You can find their challenge post here.
