Just Us Girls Challenge #625~PHOTO INSPIRATION Week...Cup of Happy Florals Hello

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!

Thank you for dropping by!
