Hello and Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going well -- only a couple of days left till the weekend, eh? :) Just wanted to pop in today to share a card I made a couple of days ago to play along with this week's Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge… This week is a photo inspiration spark, and I found the inspiration piece to be quite… well…… inspiring! :)
Take a look:
 |
| I love how the piece is split into three separate works, love the graphic elements, and the mottled background with distressed edging is really cool. |
I think you'll be able to see those elements reflected in my card, but I really wanted to tone down the grunginess (is that a word??) and lighten it all up! Here's my take:
Don't you just love that sentiment?? Who wouldn't want to have somebody tell them something like that??? I created my mottled background with distress inks and used pieces from the following stamp sets to create my "flowers…"
Thanks for visiting! Have a great weekend! Hope it's filled with those who color your world -- wherever they may be! :)
What a cool card! Love your take on the inspiration piece, and love the distressing/look you achieved on those three panels. The flowers/hearts look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI adore your lightened up version Jen! I LOVE the sentiment too!!! So glad you played along in this week's Paper Smooches Sparks challenge!
