Hello,
Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #625, where our lovely Bobby has selected this colourful Spring photo as our week's inspiration. So many elements to draw from...
JoAnn Burnham joins us once again as our Guest Designer - and what a fabulous guest she has been with her inspired and inspiring cards! Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity with us this month! Her card - as well as those of the team - show multiple interpretations of this image. Hope you'll take a look and leave some love if you can!
In my previous Just Us Girls post, I created a card using new products from Canada's own Pigment Craft Co. Guess what: doing it again, this time with the Cup of Happy stamps/die set. Because I have serious bird terror (YIKES!), I focused on the colours in the flowers along the bottom of the photo - using them in my flowers and grounding strips - and the wood grain design + colour of the birdhouse, replicated in the design of my cup. For the background, I once again took my cue from a sample card at the Pigment site: using a light grey to stamp the flowers and adding them as a subtle background.
I'm besotted with Pigment Craft Co. products...just sayin'!
How will the photo inspired you? Looking forward to finding out in the gallery!
Your card is a perfect welcome to spring with its pretty colors and the cool cup o' flowers! That background is great and subtle and adds so much to the design! You are always so creative and I look forward to each new design from you!
