It's time for Inkspirational Challenge #341 - Designers Choice!
Marlena is the designer to choose the challenge - and here it is!
I created a scene of a hot summers night at the beach as the sun is finally setting, with a hot fire crackling in the fire pit.
I made the background by first stamping the half sun, then masking it and simply rubbing the ink pads over the panel - Mustard Seed for the yellow sky, Arctic for the ocean and Sand Dune for the beach. I stamped and off-stamped the beach grass in Portabello.
The stamps and dies are all from Better at the Beach from Papertrey Ink. (they have the stamps but not the dies right now)
I added Clear Glitter Wink of Stella along the sky line and on the flames of the fire for a little sparkle - hopefully you can see it on the close up below.
So what does HOT make you think of? food? Summer? fire? We hope you'll join us at Inkspirational and link up your cards! You'll find lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT over at Inkspirational!
This challenge ends on May 23rd.

What an inviting scene you've created, Julia; on I want to step into! The heat from the setting sun and the crackling fire are wonderful takes on "hot"; indeed, I can almost feel them. An inspiring work of art!
