We are back with another inspirational photo for you from Inspiration Station. How will you be inspired by this? I was inspired by the colours of the red and blue and also the idea that these people have finished their studies and are off out into the world. I know this happens in May in the US but doesn't really happen in the UK until July which is when our schools and universities finish for the summer.
I chose to create a tag using one of Tim Holtz die cuts to create the tag which gives a nice big tag to work on. I started off by painting red and blue stripes with a paint brush with some Tim Holtz paint direct to the tag. I also added some strips of washi tape in red and white. I then added some extra stamping from Bipasha BK for Aallandcreate - I liked the words which I thought really fit the theme.
I then had a look through my Tim Holtz paper dolls and found these three ladies who looked as though they were just about to embark on something exciting and I found the perfect sentiment from Tim's quote book. I added some ephemera pieces too which fit the theme. I added some cheesecloth behind the image to add some extra texture and I hand drew a stitch line around the edge of the tape as I really can't sew!
I'm adding this into the following:
