Hello and Happy Monday! Today begins a new challenge at Inspiration Station and designs are based on your intrepretation of the inspiration photo. The inspiration photo is a beautiful outdoor table, set for a garden party, next to a swimming pool.
In creating my design team project, I went back and forth with how this inspired me. I decided on a 5" square card with an outdoor theme:
An outdoor picnic to be more specific...and what goes with a picnic? Bugs! The images and designer paper are from a Hero Arts kit from last year. I used the Gina K. Designs Wreath builder and the Misti Stamping tool to create the round pattern, stamping and rotating every 1/4 turn. I then colored the images with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.
But I wasn't finished...I added dimensional puffy sticker ants and heart embellishments, also from the same Hero Arts Kit. The sentiment is from a new to me Cardz TV sentiment stamp set.
What's so fun about this challenge is the intrepretation of the photo is your own. And a great brain workout! Please join us this round at Inspiration Station. We would enjoy seeing your intrepretations of the inspiration photo!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

It's a beautiful inspirational picture. I can see why the bugs card was created. What's an outdoor eating event without them? It's colored so lovely and bright and I love the paper you used. [Bunny]
