Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop – Sweet Bugs

Welcome to another Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You may be starting at my blog or landed here from another one.
Each month there is a new Inspirational challenge. This month we have an inspirational image and color challenge, you can use either part to create your project i.e:
INK
use the color challenge to create a project unrelated to the image – {There will generally be 4-5 colors for the color challenge you may use some or all colors plus the Stampin’ Up! Basics Colors (Basic Beige, Basic White, Very Vanilla, Basic Black)}
INSPIRATION
use the image subject as inspiration for your project any way you can tie them together is fine or if you are feeling super creative, use BOTH. This is the picture for today

One of my favourite bundles in the new mini catalogue is Sweet Bugs. That jumped into my hand and although I wasn’t sure about Fresh Freesia and Pretty In Pink mushrooms, I love the finished card!

If you love the Sweet Bugs and would like inspiration for 26 cards using the suite, the Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp is coming up on the 21st February. Joining is easy, purchase the Cute As A Bug suite and you are in! I’ll send you the kit to make the 13 cards in the tutorial bundle (all you pay is postage) and you’ll be invited to the Facebook group where we will show you 13 additional projects. For more information click here.

Hop around and see what the other participants have done with these colours.
