The April/May challenge starts today at MHK Designs and we have this lovely inspiration photo. Feel free to use the colors, the photo, or whatever inspires you. Remember, you are not required to use an MHK Designs image on your card but if you do, then it's an "Anything Goes" challenge instead of an inspiration photo challenge. :-D
As you can see, I chose to go with the Anything Goes since I'm using both an image and a sentiment from the MHK Designs Fruit Borders set. Still, I did manage to use a botanical image and a couple of the colors in the inspiration photo.
The image is colored with Copics this time, then die cut along one side with a Spellbinders Scalloped Borders Petite die. I cut two more border pieces from yellow and green CS and layered all the borders together for a 3-in-a-row look.
I also border cut the sentiment and layered it on top. I gathered up a few of the 'dots' which fell out of the holes along the borders and glued them to the sentiment piece, then added the strings of pearls for embellishment. At that point, it seemed finished so I resisted the urge to smother it with flowers or bows or glittery additions.
Challenges:
Classic DT Open
Colouring in Scrapland (flower/pearls/die)
Crafting from the Heart
Craft Your Passion
Deep Ocean
Pearly Sparkles
Petal Lu
Sisters of Craft
