Hello! This is my very first time playing in an 'Inspired by Stamping' challenge as a design team member, and I'm so thrilled!
Here is the inspiration photo for this week's challenge:
How serene that photo is! For my card, I used lots of blue, representing the sky and the sea. I also added a sandy color, and a hint of green because I see a couple of plants in this photo.
As you can see in the background, I've decorated a corner of my envelope, too. ;)
On the card, I created my own background using the tree image from Cherish. To me, it kind of looks like coral, or seaweed.
The frame and sentiment are from Small Fancy Label 4, and the flowers and leaves are from Little Flowers.
This is for my aunt, who recently moved. I can't wait to go see her new home, and will be taking this card with me.
So...are you inspired by that lovely beach photo? Come join us! There's a new challenge every Thursday. Visit HERE for all the details. :-) Hope to see you there!
