Quilted Hugs

Happy Friday!

It's nice and sunny here at my "river retreat"!  
I've been a happy busy crafter today and with sunshine it's doubly nice. 





Squeaking in for the Inkspirational Challenge.  It's a mood board of pinks/oranges/yellow-orange, not a favorite combo of mine so I let it challenge me.  I used some Waffle Flower products from a couple releases back that I hadn't gotten to play with yet.  The cross-stitch frame I ink blended light pink at first, didn't like it so ink blended the darker pink, still wasn't sold, so on the bottom half I ink blended orange and the combo of the pink and orange kind of grew on me.  Happy accident maybe? LOL. The cat die has coordinating stencils and the background was a stencil.  I thoroughly enjoyed the process of this entire card with all the stenciling and ink blending. I have been finding stenciling/ink blending to be very satisfying and therapeutic at the same time lately. 

For Following Challenges:



Card Supplies: 
Stamps: Sentiment - Quilted Sentiments (Waffle Flower).
Paper: Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!

This kitty looks so relaxed as I hope you are, my friend. Your ink blending is spot on, and you used these colors beautifully!
