The Inspiration Station Challenge - Picnic

Hello and Happy Monday!  Today beings a new bi-weekly challenge at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and the photo prompt this round is the following:


I was inspired to create a 5.5" square card featuring a summer BBQ and picnic scene using products from Simon Says Stamp and Doodlebug Designs.


The products I've used were part of the Picnic Parade Kit from Simon Says Stamp.  The items in the kit are the Simon Says Stamp Summertime BBQ mini stamp set, Picnic Parade Shape Sprinkles and the Mini Icons Sticker Pack from Doodlebug Design.  Also included in the kit were patterned papers from Doodlebug Design.


I've die cut the focal panel using a nesting circle die from Kat Scrappiness and mounted on black card, then popped on craft foam for dimension.  I've also used corner punches to give the patterned paper mats some additional interest.  Finally, what picnic is complete without Ants?  Aren't they adorable?

We would like to invite you to play along with us at The Inspiration Station.  We would enjoy seeing your inspired projects.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
