JAI 113 Just add inspiration

Hello there,
I hope everyone had a good Easter with some time to relax and bit of chocolate on the side too ;) I can assure you that some chocolate was definitely consumed in our household and there is still more to go. Needless to say the kids love it. Although I think they enjoyed hunting for their eggs as much as eating them.  

Right on to this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - the week we have an inspiration challenge for you, have look at the image below.

First up those chairs caught my eye, the colours and the striped carpet - so putting that all together I came up with this.

I started with my lounge chair, by stamping an outline image on DSP then trimming it out. I added some shading using copic markers and then mounted it on dimensionals. Adding a button as a cushion. Once I knew where the chair was going to be I could add the first half of the sentiment and the pile of books topped with steaming cuppa.  Once that medallion was done I could mount that over the vertical vanilla strip. (Having already added part two of the sentiment and the stitching detail). A bit of ribbon and some more stitching finish off the base. The inside was finished off to match. With a cat taking the chance to have a snooze on the chair now ;) It's a bit of a different birthday card but I hope the recipient will like it.

Hope you get the chance to be inspired this week - and see where it takes up - we will certainly enjoy seeing the outcome :)

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
