August 15, 2018 Inspiration Challenge



This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is the inspiraton photo.  I have never made a "galaxy" background  but I did enjoy making this one as my first.  You can use inks, or watercolors,  I choose to go with Distress Oxide Inks ,  It was truly add a little more here, add a little more there.  Since this reminded me of a dark woods scene I decided to use this fun stamp 10634-I
Outhouse and the sentiment 10626-F Oh Crap.  For my pine trees I used
2709-I large pine forest  and 2714-D small pine forest.  Since I am not really sure yet what I am going to do with this card - I didn't put a sentiment on the inside.  I'm thinking "maybe" for my physical therapist that has put me through some "crappy" workouts for my right shoulder.  Hmmm,  or maybe a birthday I forgot. 
 Now it is your turn to make a card using the challenge of  our Photo Inspiration - as you can see there are a lot of possibilities for this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge to win.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do you will be entered twice for the drawing of a $25 gift certificate to Repeat Impressions. 

If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.

The card for this week was my first attempt at a galaxy too -- I made it as soon as Wendy posted the boards and then ended up making several more since then! Your sky turned out perfect!

Your background looks absolutely awesome! Love the outhouse image, too. I plan on making an "Oh Crap" card for my brother's birthday. I think I'll use the toilet paper roll idea, though. We'll see if it actually turns out.

Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on sites I stumbleupon everyday.
It will always be useful to read through content from other authors and use something from other sites.

This cracked me up when I saw in the lineup, Shirley. I'm sure your PT found your intended humor in this card too. I love it!
