Ever been on a search for that particular patterned paper that you knew would be perfect for your challenge? You remember seeing it...somewhere, sometime, but gosh, where is it now? You make even a bigger mess searching for it. Perhaps you are successful, in finding what you were searching for or better yet, discovering something long lost or something that inspires you! Sometimes, you breathe a heavy sigh and succumb to the fact that the paper fairies carried it off never to be seen again.
Skipping Stones Design is offering another fabulous inspiration photo for this week's challenge. Look up the details on the challenge and see great samples from the design team here! I was inspired by the colors and image. I pulled out the fun grungy frame from Grunge 2, a sentiment from Pumpkin Seeds and then the text image from Garden Kiss.
(P.S. I did find what I was searching for, the lovely map paper from Bazzill's Wayfarer Collection!)
I love the earth tones in this card. And I hear you on the paper...I am quite often searching for things that are right in front of my face :)
