Welcome!
Today I'm sharing a card I made for a challenge with my friend, TK (Time 4 Kards). This is our second challenge. Last month we did, Card Kits and made cards from each others kits.
This month we did an "Inspiration" challenge. - I found a picture:
And the idea was that we each made a card based on inspiration from this photo. There were so many different ways this could be interpreted.
I admit that I struggled with this card (a lot) even though there were so many possibilities for inspiration. I'm still in a bit of a stamping "funk" so hopefully you'll see the inspiration in my card.
The things that caught my eye were the colors and the palm fronds.
I also liked the animal print but alas did not have anything that would have worked for that. Instead I used a tan color for the base of my card. (SU Pecan Pie). I layered that with an embossed piece of light green card stock. I used the Palm Leaves embossing folder from Cuttlebug (retired). My paper was a pattern piece of with tropical leaves and blooms. I liked that it had hints of pink/red in it as the inspiration photo did as well.
I die cut a tropical leaf in a darker green. The Aloha sentiment was from the set that TK gave me on our last challenge.
I've long since gotten really mixed up on my old SU colors so I can't exactly say what they are. I do know I used (Island Indigo - retired SU) ink for the sentiment.
Dies: SU Stylish Dies, Punch (Optic Dot - Martha Stewart), Small blue gems.
Please stop by Terri's blog (TIME 4 KARDS) and check out how she was inspired by the photo.
