Inkspirations Challenge 35
The weekend almost here…. I am so excited! I have lots to do this weekend in my stamping room, making lots of creations for my Stampin’ Up! retirement party next Sunday to WOW my customers and also getting a head start on next weeks design team cards…. I have had lots happening lately and all the “stress” was blocking my creative flow but the flow is returning, in a way taking a break always makes me come back with much more excitement and I always think I improve a little more.
This week we have a sketch challenge to play with….
Here is my card…. I have used Asian Artistry which is the yummiest hostess set of them all! Its a level 2 from the Australian Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue. I love water colouring it always looks so good and I kind of find it relaxing.
Inside…. pretty! Don’t you think?

OOOHHH! I so don’t like orange but you make it look beautiful. Might have to weed out some orange and try this.
Gorgeous card Teneale! Love your watercoloured images & the Haiku DSP looks fantastic.
This is beautiful Teneale – your watercolouring is very well done, really makes the flower image pop off the page. Always love how you create inside the card too – def. adds something special to it. Have a great week.
I cannot believe that you have watercoloured these flowers, they are just stunning and oh so vibrant!
Yep, this one is definitely a winner Teneale. I love it. Gorgeous colours and the inside is just beautiful.
Very pretty, Teneale. Elegant and soft! Hugs xxaxx
Gorgeous card! I LOVE orange!
When I first found Stampin’ Up!, the Haiku paper had just retired. I loved it so much that I scoured the Buy/Sell/Trade forum on Splitcoast and was able to buy two packages of it. I went back and forth for quite a while about whether or not to get the Asian Artistry set, but knew I liked it enough to go for it. When I came across this amazing card of yours, I bookmarked it with the hope that I’d be brave enough to give it a go at some point.
A few days ago I thought I’d attempt the watercoloring and putting all of these elements together, and I can honestly say that it’s one of my favorite cards — absolutely love it! Even though I really didn’t know what I was doing with the watercoloring, I found it surprisingly forgiving and actually enjoyed doing it.
Thank you SO much for the incredible inspiration that you provide, and know that it’s extremely appreciated by a fan of yours in Connecticut!
