\"\"<\/a>It’s my pleasure to host the 700th Inspiration Challenge (IC700<\/a><\/strong><\/span>)! Wow! That’s a lot of inspiration. And I chose a place that was a discussion of colors. For my first card, I was inspired by THIS<\/a><\/span>. I love all the blue butterflies.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After coloring & die cutting the butterflies, I sponged the Distress inks onto my white panel, then sprayed it w\/ thinned out white acrylic paint. I thought it still needed more, so stamped over the sponged areas w\/ the same Distress inks using a splatter bg image. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the inside & the Copics I used for the butterflies.<\/span>

My second card is all about shades of gray & black. My moonlit scene was inspired by THIS<\/a> <\/span>picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After die cutting the birches & grasses out of black, a circle of white & a bg out of gray, I sponged on a little black & gray onto the gray bg.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I used white & lt. gray Prismacolor pencils to add some depth & shading to the moon, birches & grasses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the inside.<\/span>
