with the beginning of school again life has returned to its normal pattern here which is rather nice (especially as it means some stamping time for me ;) It has also meant I had time to break out some new stamps I received at OnStage. This weeks challenge - Just Add Inspiration - at Just Add Ink - a lovely serene photo from Jodene was perfect to make a special Mother's Day card for my MIL. Here's the inspiration photo.
The new stamp set was perfect as my MIL loves her cat and this gave me the option to add one!
I have pulled the very fresh colour palette from the inspiration photo and also tried to add in a knit texture background that echoes the chevrons in the picture. Construction was very simple, colour the images, trim out the different pieces and arrange them. It wasn't essential but I had to make sure the cat was comfortable so I added a pillow for it to rest against (My old fur baby certainly loves having something to snuggle into).
What inspires you in the inspiration photo? We'd love you to play along with us. Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT projects too!
Thanks for visiting,
Kim

ReplyDeleteWhat a serene card you've created with your new stamps, Kim. Love how you've offset both the front and inside of the card. Beautiful ribbon treatment too. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the challenge this week, Kim. Great, fun, tilted panels (I can't do them, but you pull them off with ease!); love how you've repeated that on the inside of the card.
