I hope everyone enjoyed the break at Easter. I love having the luxury of some time at home just to putter around and get some of those - I'll do one day - jobs done. And some chocolate to go along with it doesn't hurt either ;) This week at Just Add Ink we have a Just Add Inspiration challenge for you. Here's the pic.
Just recently, all of sudden in fact, Autumn just kicked in. I must admit I love Autumn weather - that cool tingle in the morning and the warm, but not too warm sun during the day - just lovely! Anyway that's what this photo made me think of. But what I really wanted to add in was lots of that texture and then some tinges of colour. I went with pink (cause this was going to a friend who likes a hint of pink) and I reckon if your squint there is a hint of pink in the inspiration photo.
I wanted to bring in texture through embossing but also using some lovely natural ribbon. I even stamped a lace pattern on one! I also inked up the embossing folders to get some extra contrast. I must admit I couldn't resist using a doily too - have you noticed them popping up? Definitely a favourite with me at the moment. It was fun to build this one to play with the elements and I did love mixing and matching all the bits.
Hope you get the chance to play along and see where inspiration leads you - a good starting point is to check out the rest of the DT for some fabulous ideas.
Thanks for visiting,
Kim
