SPIN:
Darlene's inspiration card is full of energy and love. I masked a large heart on my panel and then I blended pinks and one orangey-yellow ink through my illusion Rippled Squares stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I trimmed it down to follow the ripples and stamped a bold black sentiment before putting it on a black rectangle mat. I added 5 little gold glitter heart die cuts as my embellishments.

Craft Room Splurges
Today I'm talking about some of the splurges or investments I've made in my craft room.
Recently, I made a BIG change to the pocket system I was using to store my stamps and dies, and that's the topic of my presentation at the upcoming Paper Crafters Get Organized summit, happening April 19-21. Not only will I show you my old and new system, but I'll be sharing 5 steps for how you can find YOUR perfect storage solution. You can register for a free ticket HERE.

Dahlia Thinking of You
Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!
I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!
LIST: Colours (orange, pink blue, beige), Techniques (copic colouring), Elements (big 'flower burst' in background, ballerina)
INCLUDE: orange, pink, blue, big flower burst
MODIFY: stenciled instead of coloured, added die cut sentiment and sparkle
EXCLUDE: Ballerina
I loved the drama on the inspiration card - the energy from the background really caught my eye. I stencilled some pink and yellow/orange ink through a dahlia stencil, blended blue ink around the edges and then added some gold watercolor splatter.
Instead of a ballerina, I die cut a sentiment from white cardstock and added some gems for sparkle
