Inkspirational - Text

Our new challenge at Inkspirational is to be inspired by the word 'text'.

Not only is this Concord and 9th flower stamp one of my favourite and best-used stamps ever, but it seems it is also a favourite of MANY others. The challenge is to keep it 'fresh'!

For the 'text' challenge I paper-pieced it with a book page - the book was about politics and some of the words still seemed too prominent so I also stamped a text stamp over the book page.  I coloured a little with grey marker and added black enamel drops and a scrap of stripy paper.

We have a guest designer for February - Lindsey, from Bashful Blogging - so please do come over and meet her.

    Paper piecing is one of your signature styles and here you’ve used it so cleverly with the word prompt. The stamped flowers look beautiful colored with a little grey and I love the addition of the black enamel dots.

    This is beautiful! The flower looks so good in text form, and I love the soft, monochromatic palette with the little pops of black. Thrilled to be joining the team for the month!
