YNS May Feature Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme Is....
Artist Inspiration

I found inspiration from Jackson Pollock!

He was well known for his unique style of drip painting!  As well as ink splatters!

I love abstract art!  In collage, while getting my Graphic Design and Art degree, I did a lot of abstract art designs!  So I was inspired to created a fun abstract background for my card today using some fun stamps!!

Here is the painting I found inspiration from:

He tended to use dark colors!  I prefer bright fun colors, so I decided to just find inspiration from his style and create a fun bright birthday card!

I used the Mud Splatter, Got Mud? and Paint Swooshes and Splatters to create the background for my card:

I think it turned out really fun! A great masculine birthday card, in my opinion!!

I used the Holly Berry Red, Pumpkin Orange, Sunflower Yellow, Olive Green and Blue Curacao ink pads to ink my stamps with!!

To stay with his darker style, I decided to die cut the 'Happy Birthday' from the Scripty Happy Birthday Die Set in black paper and add it to my background!  I like how kind of blends into my background!!

I finished off my card by adding a few Gumdrops by the sentiment!!
