Pinspired

Hello! I had one of those mornings where I couldn't find my creative mojo. That happens sometimes when I've been away from my studio for too many days which has been the case. I was supposed to be in Arizona this past week for the Fun Stampers Journey (FSJ) 2016 convention, but I came down with the flu instead! Ack! 

Well, I'm thrilled to be feeling better and back to crafting up some fun things to share with you...except that I didn't quite know where to start after a week long break! Thank goodness for Pinterest because I found the following card.

Isn't it gorgeous?!?! Swoon! I thought trying to recreate it with FSJ supplies would be a fun exercise to help me get back into my groove. 

I used the Bird and Circle Sketch stamp sets and the Summer Branch die. 

 The background was created with inks, ink pads, Silk, and a stencil. I've listed all the supplies I used below.

What do you think? I think I like the softness of the inspiration piece better. And I really enjoyed just playing around with our inks and sponges to see what I could come up with! It's good to be back getting my fingers all inked up again!
