Wow!...We had a record-breaking amount of entries last week on Sweet Stampin with heaps of really brilliant entries! :) This week we have a photo-inspiration theme, and a really stunning prize of 2 Sugar Nellie Stamps!
This is the inspiration piccie:
Now the colours on my card match the picture a little better IRL, but the light in my window disagreed! LOL
I used a gorgeous Crafts and Me image, and hand-stitched and distressed paper from a Crafty Individuals seaside pad. The carnations are WOC and I threaded wooden beads on the flower-stem twiddly bits. The dies are a mix of Spellbinder and Marianne.
I am entering this card in the below competitions:
Crafts and Me - Inspired by a song - Wishful Thinking, China Crisis.
CES Challenges - Inspired by song - Wishful Thinking, China Crisis
Ooh La La Creations - Stitching
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Hi, your card is absolutely fabulous. Love the colors, the image, coloring. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your inspiration.
Love the way your ruffly flowers reflect the one in the photo & also pick up all the crinkles (wavy elements - hair, her wings, the pillar whe is leaning on etc....). Her blue eyes accent that background paper beautifully too.
