Inkspirational: Tower

It's time for a new Inkspirational challenge! And our new word prompt is TOWER. I think it must be a symptom of the ongoing pandemic that I was completely at a loss for this theme for the longest time. I mentioned it aloud, and my husb reminded me that I have lots of towers! Skyline stamps and dies, an Eiffel tower stamp... with these things in mind, I made my card: 


This stamp has a few towers as part of its international skyline! Before I stamped it, I blended the background with distress inks. With an old-school wooden stamp, I got out my Stamp-a-ma-Jig to place the skyline where I wanted it. This could have perhaps been a one-layer card, but I'm rarely that confident. ;) 


Visit the Inkspirational blog to see just how many ways the word TOWER can be interpreted! Hope to see how the word prompt inspires you. 

Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Hero Arts International Skyline & Neat & Tangled Origami Map stamps, Versafine onyx black, carved pumpkin, shaded lilac, blueprint sketch & chipped sapphire distress inks, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, MFT blueprints 29 stitched rectangle die

It has inspired me I already stamped my "tower" last week for something else. perfect I'm half way there. That sky background is phenomenal love love love it, great use of the theme, sometimes hubbys hit it right. I love that you did white on white and let the image shine. Gorgeous card.

That is the coolest travel themed stamp I’ve seen, and I love silhouettes. And travels. Awesome colors and clean look!

I did worry for a while that this theme might be too difficult but everyone has come up with such great ideas! I love this and it makes me want to go somewhere...one day, not too far away, I hope.
