The layout featured in Moxie Fab World's Finding Inspiration in a Layout Challenge was too pretty to pass up. I refined and simplified my card a bit from the layout to suite my style. I drew inspiration from the colors, the treatment of patterned paper, the pins, cropped circles and black journaling. This was fun, I think I'll go back to my own layouts to draw inspiration for future cards.
Speaking of the pins, these little gems were so fun to make. I found an easy tutorial over at the Scrap Doctor's blog.
Supplies Used: Cardstock: (White) Georgia Pacific, (Bashful Blue) Stampin' Up Patterned Paper: (Just Chillin Girls) Stamps: (Sentiment from Mehndi Medallions, Bird from Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions) Wplus9, Making Memories Ink: (Creamy Brown, French Blue, Citrus Yellow Chalk) Colorbox, (Onyx Black) Versafine Other: (Rustic Twine) PTI, (Colored Pencils) Prisma, (Black Marker) Pilot Thread, Handmade Decorative Pins Tools: (Circle Cutting System) Creative Memories, (Scallop Border Punch) Fiskars

ReplyDeleteYou're getting a lot of mileage from that little bird stamp, Karen -- and I can see why! He is extra cute -- and looks as good in blue as he did in yellow! :) Love how you re-interpretted the layout for your card.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love all of your polka dots combined with that damask paper. Just beautiful, and those pins are the perfect finishing touch! I really should use them more often :). Thanks for the inspiration!
