Stand Alone - Tiddly Inks Challenge

Hi ya everyone!  This week at the Tiddly Inks challenge blog the wonderful and lovely Meredith chose a GORGEOUS inspiration photo - see below

Oh my gosh - gorgeous right...now what struck me about this photo was really two things - first and foremost the colors - I love them - soft and gorgeous, the second was the woman all alone in this gorgeousness.  So I chose this image from Tiddly Inks - Chi and she can be found HERE.

I colored her with Copics and then glittered her wrap.  I cut her out and set her to the side.  I didn't even search through my papers to see if I had something similar - I really wanted to create my own background that represented what I felt from the photo Meredith gave us.

I used my watercolor paper and gathered three Tim Holtz inks: Weathered Wood, Tattered Rose and Milled lavender.  First, I stamped each ink pad on my large acrylic block and then took my watercolor brush and swirled the background with these colors.  Next, I grabbed these awesome Inkadinkadoo stamps and used the Tattered Rose and Milled lavender to stamp the flowers in the background. 

Then I added some gems with my iRock and then stopped.  This is exactly what I wanted to create using that photo and this lovely image from Tiddly Inks - a lonely girl in gorgeous colors. Now in my excitement I forgot to make a shaped card!!!  So the challenge is to make a shaped card and use the photo for inspiration!  So head over to the challenge blog and join us - make sure to use a Tiddly Image!
