It's Photo Inspiration Challenge time at 'The House'

It's Wednesday, and time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built!

Today's challenge is an inspirational photo. This month, we got to choose from 2 inspiration photos.  I love the colors and the shine on both of these pics,

don't you???

Here are the inspiration photos:

 

Photo inspirations areSTILL the toughest challenges for me.

But...I'm learning to step outside my comfort zone!

Here is the card that I made, using Repeat Impressions 3703-H Here's to You, Repeat Impressions 3701-M Sentiments Flag, and Repeat Impressions 9014-M Fireworks:

The fireworks and flag were both inked up by daubing ink directly to the stamp, using a small finger dauber. 

The fireworks were then stamped again with Versamark ink, and embossed with a fine silver embossing powder. 

The image was shadow inked, by inking first with red, and then moving the stamp a bit, and stamping again in blue. 

The 'flag' is popped up with foam dots.

Ta da!

It's been a busy month for us, so this is a pretty clean and simple card.

Hope you like it!

Now, come on over and join us in our Photo Inspiration Challenge!
