JAI #304 Just add inspiration

Hello there,
finally, finally the cooler Autumn weather has hit which has been such a delightful change. I love the freshness in the air (especially early in the morning) this time of year. There is still time for flowers to give an Autumn display and perhaps it was the bright pops of colour in this week's Just Add Ink inspiration challenge from Jodene that made me pull out flowers. Here's the inspiration picture. Remember you can pull out whatever elements you like from the inspiration picture - the colours, patterns,umbrella's ;) whatever inspires you!

And here is my flower filled card!

Can you see what elements I pulled from the inspiration picture? Certainly the colours. I also tried to keep the colour balance the same as in the inspiration picture with all the bright pops of colour on the blue background and then changing that to kraft for the bottom. The footbridge ?? element that goes across the picture also inspired my use of the leafy border as a divider between the top and bottom. To add some sparkle I used Iridescent Ice embossing powder for the sentiment and the little white flowers are punched from shimmer white cardstock.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT projects. Hope you can join us.

Happy Easter to you all too!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
