Inskpirations Inspiration Challenge #20!….
Hey gang,
Thanks to my dear sister in law Claire for letting me pop in this arvy to get this post up using her Mac! Phew, it has been quite a bit of drama, but here I am, with the post for you all!
I will have to wait till Monday to announce the winners of the past two challenges for you all, so hold on for just a bit longer 
Okay so here goes. This week we have an Inspiration image for you to work with. I love the warm masculine colours of this image, and had fun putting together my creation for you.
Here is your image to work with:
Here is my creation for you all:
I have used the Inspired by Nature stamp set, and stamped it with Versamark onto gloss cardstock. I have then embossed the reeds with clear embossing powder and then with a sponge smeared the different colours onto the gloss cardstock. The embossed image will then resist the ink. The actual technique is called Emboss resist. The greeting is also from that same stamp set.
Here is the inspiration from the Design Team!
Louise Ryan - Guest Designer
Want to play along? - here are some guidelines.
If you would like to play along, all you need to do is follow the directions:
1. Make your creation following the challenge ie, sketch, colour, or inspiration image.
2. Load your creation up onto your blog or a public viewing forum like Splitcoast Stampers, with a direct link back to the post on this website, so that others viewing the post will know where the challenge has come from, and it is courtesy to do so.
3. Then come back to this post so that you can add your name and link in the Mr. Linky!
You have until the Thursday the 14th April midnight to get your entries linked.
I will be announcing the winner and honourable mention on Friday the 15th April in the afternoon.
I hope you get to play along and i look forward to seeing your creations!

Love the way you have incorporated the Chocolate Chip satin ribbon with the Twill Tape on your card. Great idea!
Hi Keesh,
Sorry that Maisie mac has already given you some trouble.
The card is beautiful. I loved the layered ribbons.
I love your card. Funny I entered my JAI card and turns out it was in browns. LOL! Will get my act together and do something later in the week. Love your bow btw.
Love the emboss-resist and the brown shading!
Hope your computer feels better soon!

Gorgeous challenge! I loooove earthy tones!!
Hi Keesh,
this one was a bit different which is definately good for a challenge! Will be fun to see what everyone makes of it. Loved your card, very soft but striking too (esp like the layered ribbon).
Love Kim
