I don't know about you but I am surrounded by inspiration. I find my inspiration in other people, on the television, in blogs and most important to me, in the Bible. In the days before Google and instant communication and knowledge my main source of both inspiration and relaxation was books. To this day I am still an avid reader although I admit I now prefer carrying around a Kindle rather than heavy tomes!
Where do you find your inspiration and how do you inspire others? That second part is a lot harder and sometimes we may go through life never knowing who we have inspired ourselves along the way. The only thing we can do is to encourage those who inspire us and to live our lives the best way we can, maybe by doing that we will inspire others.
Materials used:
Ike's Art - Book of Dreams
A Bit More Time To Craft - Day Star Digital Paper Pack
X-Press It card
silver mirri card
rectangle stitched border die
Zig clean color brush pens 24 set
I have departed from my usual Copics for this card. I had a set of 24 Zig brush pens for Christmas and am still in the early stages of experimenting with them. I think I need to do some testing on different cardstock to see what they do but for a first attempt I am fairly pleased. Next time I might have go on watercolour paper to see if they blend better on that and to experiment getting more of a watercolour look from them. It is fun trying out new techniques with new supplies.

ReplyDeleteThank you for participating at Ike's World Challenges.
Blessings.
What a beautiful card and an even more beautiful post and sentiment. Inspiration does come from many sources and we can only hope that we live our lives in ways that are inspirational to others. Thank you for that reminder and for sharing your beautiful card with us at PIP Challenges!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Pippa. Lovely post. I hadn't really thought about it until I read your post. I wonder some times, for example, if you are reading a book that you feel relaxed and away from all stresses that your mind wonders and goes off down avenues and ideas and inspiration pop into your head or is it the book itself that inspires.
