Tiddly Inks - Inspire Me

Today's challenge over at the Tiddly Ink Challenge Blog #50 was to use the following image as inspiration.

I saw these coordinating gum drops at my local bulk food store and couldn't resist making a Mason Jar - Thank You Gift.

The Sugar Plum Fairy digital stamp comes with a gorgeously pre-coloured image of a Sugar Plum Fairy.

In PS, I reversed the pre-coloured image , added a double circle and arced the sentiment "Your sweeter then Honey! Thanks for everything". I then darkened the background in opaque purple. I used a circle and coordinating scallop punch along with my favorite Doily SVG from My Graphico.com.

I printed off a whole sheet of these pre-coloured circular fairies on SU - Shimmery White cardstock to have on hand in a last minute pinch. I have dozens of mason jars, so just a quick trip to the bulk candy aisle, some ribbon and I'm all set.

Here is another submission for this challenge: I used Bathing Beauty. When I saw this flapper gal, I immediately knew I had to colour her in B&W. I think I am more confidant shading black & white images. It's like working with graphite, which we were forever doing in our sketch books for homework in art class.

I couldn't help adding finger waves to her hair. Some of the previous submissions to the Tiddly Inks gallery have this beauty in waves, and mine had to have them too.

The sentiment reads "Don't be afraid to Make a Splash - 2010" The ticket stub is included with the purchase of the Ticket to My Life digital stamp and the frame is LA's Cricut - Nestie Font SVG.
