Today's card was made for the Challenge at Power Poppy, The Skies The Limit.
You are asked to be inspired by the skies in your area, sunrises, sunsets, the colors and hues. I love walking my beach early in the mornings, but not on days like this, that's for sure. So I went through a bunch of my photos, which I will bore you with in just a bit.
This card uses the Flourishes stamp set, Lots Of Thoughts, designed by Marcella Hawley. I picked up on the colors from my photos, the oranges, yellows, a touch of pink and the blue sky itself. Image colored with Copic Markers and a bit of Dazzling Details (Stampin' Up! Stickles). The Designer Paper is Teresa Collins, Canvas. MFT border die, Open Bracket and Swiss Dots Embossing Folder. Accents are, Chipboard Button, Ribbon, Jute Twine, Button and Adhesive Rhinestones.
I'll send you sunshine, if you send me some warmth.....deal?
Here are some of the skies that inspired me.....
Happy President's Day!
Enjoy~~
Oh yea! Lots of inspiration here. Love the spring look of your card. As always love the Flourishes stamps sets. Beautiful use of the design papers too. Sweet touch of the button. Funny, I have kraft, navy , lt blue and heart out on my craft table now.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - your skies are awesome. We have some of that on Lake Superior too - only I think not as dependable. I just love this card, it's so sunny and cheery. I adore bright colors, and this card really does the trick. And I have that stamp set - I need to pull it out and do something happy with it! Oh, and I also love how you tilted those two panels. Great look!!!
