Paper Smooches Sparks

I decided to try a totally different route this time on the PSS challenge. Instead of trying to make my card look exactly like the picture, I just took elements from the picture and created this card:



Here's the inspiration photo:


So the embossing on the craft folder comes from the color and texture of the ice cream cones. The 3 circles were cut to resemble the openings in the cones. Then the fish were colored to match the fruit colors in the cones. Finally, the purple cardstock was taken from the purple plate and the green ribbon is from the greenery in the background.




The stamps and sentiment are all PS. The ribbon and cardstock are from PTI. The embossing folder is SU Sizzix. The rhinestones are from Q & Co.

  3. Wonderfully cute card. I love how you explained your inspiration. I feel like you just taught me a little mini lesson. I have a problem with inspiration photos, in that I usually try to just replicate the photo. Your way is better, I think. More sophisticated and arty.

  10. How fun is this?! I love it when someone explains where the inspiration for the different elements comes from--I have a hard time thinking outside the box on these challenges myself. The texture is awesome and your coloring is super cute!
