Ice cream to indigo blue stamps, and ink to ice resin – this week the letter i is our inspiration! How will you be inspired this week? I think that I\u2019ll find all kinds of interesting inspiration from this letter!<\/p>\n

Andrea<\/a> wanted to create trophies for the intelligent individuals in her life.<\/p>\n

\"i_andrea\"<\/p>\n

I love people who know stuff, but don’t have to prove that they know stuff. These humble super geniuses deserve the highest kudos, so I made some trophies for them using Tim Holtz’s Trophy cups<\/a> that I painted with Dina Wakley’s acrylic paint<\/a> and Distress Paint<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sandra<\/a> had some inky fun making this art journal spread<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love inks and spray inks are lots of fun to play with in my art journal. To create some texture for some interest, I gessoed the surface and applied some Crackled Texture Paste<\/a> with the Honeycomb Stencil<\/a>. Love the crackle effect, and by spraying with some Ink Sprays like Glimmer Mist<\/a> and Cracked Pistachio<\/a>, the effect gets more intense.<\/p>\n

Michelle<\/a> was screamin’ with this “I” challenge.<\/p>\n

\"I_michelle\"<\/p>\n

Occasionally, the first project doesn’t work out as planned. The cute-as-can be Carta Bella Stencil<\/a> provided a great place to scribble out frustration and soon the second project evolved into a collaged art journal entry with lots of stamped and watercolor<\/a> papers. The second time’s a charm!<\/em><\/p>\n

Cheiron <\/a>created this page in her art journal featuring an independent woman.<\/p>\n

\"i_cheiron\"<\/p>\n

I love all of Dina Wakley’s stamps especially the girls from the Face In The Crowd <\/a>set. What I love about them most is their sense of independence, and the way that it is so easy to change their look in my mixed media projects. I gave this gal a new look with some clothing made with deli paper that was colored with lots of Dina’s stencils<\/a> and paints<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Suzz<\/a> was itching to ink up some inchies.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

I had the iron out looking to use it on my project this week, but as usual the iron sits collecting dust. Instead I created a series of inchies which were very much inspired by Andrea<\/a>. I am always in awe of Andrea’s whimsical colorful and beautiful art each week. I tried to emulate her style in my little inchies by bring pops of color using the Heidi Swapp Color Shine<\/a> sprays, a variety of stamps and stencils. The house my inchies are built on is the Impression Obsession House Frame<\/a>. The finishing words are from the Idea-Ology Remnant Rub-Ons<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I (May<\/a>) had a lot of ideas.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_2596<\/p>\n

Inks? Eyeballs? Indigo? I took out some face stamps<\/a> (thinking I\/eye) and started playing with a little craft hoop<\/a> and just let things happen! I’m loving how this little piece turned out – it will soon be hanging on my studio wall.<\/p>\n

Maura<\/a> altered her iPhone box.<\/p>\n

\"i_maura\"<\/p>\n

I am a big steampunk fan and love to work with metals and gears, and my iPhone box has been taking up space, so I thought, why not turn it into a cool treasure box! Dina Wakley\u2019s Penny <\/a> and Gilt<\/a> paints are perfect for creating a metallic finish. Of course, some Tim Holtz ephemera is needed, like gears<\/a> and and a word band<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a very inky journal page.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

It is no secret that I love ink, and this page is all about the ink. I used Distress Inks<\/a> to create my background and also had fun making my own custom coloured ink pad<\/a>. The page was built up with stamps<\/a> by Tim Holtz and I played around with the new Distress Micro Glaze<\/a> for a resist effect.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nicole<\/a> was chilled by this challenge. <\/p>\n

\"i_nicole\"<\/p>\n

There are so many ways you can go with this challenge but I was stuck with \u201cicy\u201d thoughts.\u00a0 In the end I got there when I was looking at my Airmail Paper String<\/a> and Pen Nibs. I\u2019m always inspired by my Idea-Ology.\u00a0 They always make a great addition to anything I create.<\/p>\n

Ashli<\/a> doesn’t need to be told twice to indulge in some Ice Cream!<\/p>\n

\"i_ashli\"<\/p>\n

I love ice cream! Oh yes… so, this week, I just had to play with creating some ice cream of my own, complete with a stamped present<\/a> on top! Using a favorite floral embossing folder<\/a>, along with a polka dot one<\/a>, I crafted up my scoop and cone. Some pretty papers<\/a> and a bit of watercolor<\/a> finished off this happy birthday card!<\/em><\/p>\n

Emma<\/a>‘s inspiration came from a world of pure “imagination”!<\/p>\n

\"i_emma\"<\/p>\n

Inspiration and imagination is a very important part of my every day creative life and with this in mind I made a panel using Tim’s gorgeous world globe die<\/a> that created a glistening and shimmering focal point on a background of Distress Paints, micro beads<\/a> and texture paste<\/a>. To complete the panel, I added wording using Alpha Parts<\/a> and Big Chat stickers<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create an “I heart U” art journal page with some Iced Enamels.<\/p>\n

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

I have some Iced Enamels<\/a> and I think they are perfect for this week’s theme. After creating the background with Distress Paints<\/a> and Distress Spray Stains<\/a>, I decorated the page with Prima Flowers Resins<\/a> and Tim Holtz<\/a> Embellishments. The Iced Enamels were added to finish off this project.<\/em><\/p>\n
