Where does your inspiration come from? Is it the colors, the image, the designer papers or embellishments? I think for me, it will mostly come from the designer papers.... I will select 2-3 that goes together and from there, I chose an image and color it to match, I then select a sketch and embellishments. I will have to admit, I am drawn to earth colors. I would love to know what you do.
I have a fun new card today that is following the Cute Card Thursday #93 sketch. I distressed the edges of the DP with ink so it will also qualify for the Creative Card Crew challenge #42 which was for anything distressed.
I had fun putting this one together, since I was not going to cut out Tilda this time, I used a stamp and some distressing to soften the edges of image. I made my orange ribbon flowers and added a brad to the centers so that they match the other ribbons on the card.
How can you not love that big orange cat....we have two cats ourselves and they are so much fun. Although, I doubt they would appreciate us holding them like that.... LOL.
I would love to know what you think.
