Inspiration Station Challenge #5

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

  1. 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]
