This appears to be a celebration, dancing around the Maypole. I remember in elementary school, we used to celebrate May Day with a dance around the Maypole. This photo inspired me to use the color Red and create a card of Friendship. I'm inspired by friends getting together for fun in the sun.
I have several decorative paper napkins, some gifted to me and others purchased through Ninny's Napkins. When I purchased this napkin, my thought was to upcycle a home decor item but I put it away, and never completed the home decor project. When "shopping my stash", I remembered all the lovely cards I've seen made with paper napkins.
The card design is very simple to create. I glued the top layer of the napkin to a card panel and after it was dry, I die cut an 2 nesting ovals from the center. I've adhered the napkin panel to a card base, it's hard to see in the photo but each layered oval has a graduated step of dimension and I've also dry embossed the napkin before die cutting
To finish, I've die cut the sentiment with a stitched oval and added a bit of twine. Please join us at The Inspiration Station, we would love to see how the photo prompt inspires you. Everyone's interpretation is unique and we hope to inspire you with our projects.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
