Just Us Girls Challenge #568~Photo Week...When It's Dark, Look for Stars (PFS Constellation)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #568, where I've selected this lovely atmospheric photo for this week's inspiration. A plethora of interpretations, be it the buildings + sky; the glow of reflected light; the stars, the colours..and so much more. One focal spark or several: whatever you choose will be fabulous1


Here's an expanded view:


Carol McFarland and Melanie Hungerford  join us once again as January guest designers. Their cards, as well as those of my teammates, are ever so creative! If you have a chance to visit their blogs and leave some love, I know that will be greatly appreciated.

I've taken this complex composition and distilled it down to three things that caught my eye: the starry night sky, the silver decor and the gold lights of the building in the background and the reflections on the street. In combining these, I ended up with this rather clean, simple encouragement card:


That's it from me; looking forward to seeing how the photo inspires you!


Thank you for dropping by!

I love the photo you chose for the challenge. And your interpretation is so different from what most of us took from it. You created a really cool card! Love it!

What a gorgeous card! The best kind of CAS card - where there is still a ton of interest to it. Perfection!

It was a challenging photo, Carol, and all the cards the DT have made stepped up to that challenge. Yours is beautifully CAS and inspiring.
