This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous stylings of Urbanrose (Etsy Site) where they take lockets to a whole new level.
I chose this beautiful 1930s Eiffel Tower locket to inspire my design.
I love the contrast of the black images with the blue background. I started with a silvery-blue piece of Basic Grey Urban Couture Lustra paper and sponged with with a variety of blue inks.
Next I stamped the Eiffel Tower & Balloon from Artistic Outpost's Paris Exposition. Next along the bottom I stamped the flowers from AO's Birds of a Feather repeatedly. I finished with the flourish from this set stamped repeatedly in silver pigment ink, which sort of created a silvery shadow over the entire piece.
I finished with silver & black mats to frame the design. I hope you find inspiration.
love love love it.
