Today I have combined the "Oh Baby Inspiration" challenge at Our Creative Corner with the Saturday Sketch Challenge at Stamping 411. Make sure you hop on over to both blogs and check out the details and all of the wonderful entries.
The inspiration photo at Our Creative Corner definitely appealed to my color sense. I was also inspired by the flowers and the repetition of circles throughout the photo. Using the sketch at Stamping 411, here is what I came up with.
I am totally loving the Labels Framelits. And I think I managed to sponge pretty much every edge there is, including the inside panel! There's a small strip of Calypso Coral organdy ribbon between the two panels of DSP. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up very well in my pictures!
I sponged the blue Framelit panel while it was still in the Framelit. It didn't leave as pronounced of an edge as I would have liked, but that's a lesson learned! The focal image is stamped with Staz On on watercolor paper, and I used my ink pads and aqua blenders to watercolor it. A few basic pearls cap off the focal point of the card. The DSP, pearls, and three circular flower pieces echo the circles in the inspiration photo.
This card remains fairly clean and simple, but with a bit of added dimension and detail. I hope you like it!

ReplyDeleteLynda, thank you for the sweet comment! I used layers of Calypso Coral on the flowers with a hint of So Saffron here and there to add a bit of "sunshine" to the petals. I hope you'll follow my blog. Thanks again.
