Hello Friends and Happy Monday, the 1st Monday of March and time for a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. Our inspiration prompt for this month is:
Aren't these Pups adorable dressed in their St. Patty's Day best? Even though the photo is simple in it's composition, there's lots of inspiration here, and I was directly inspired by the dogs and St. Patrick's day, so I've created a card for the holiday.
Using the Pup with Balloons digital image from Bugaboo Stamps (who remembers Bugaboo?), I've used a St. Patrick's Day color palette and colored the image using Copic Alcohol Markers. As a side note, Jodi Mackrell is alive and well, she made an appearance in the Bugaboo Facebook Fan group and I was so relieved to hear from her.
I've die cut the focal panel and mat using scalloped nesting dies from Hero Arts, the patterned paper is from my stash, the sentiment has been computer generated and popped on foam pads. For a bit of interest, I've added a nest of gold thread from Altenew.
The team and I invite you to join us this month, we love seeing all the creative designs and how the photo inspires everyone. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
