Guest Design for Just Us Girls Challenge #345 Photo Week

                                                       

It's Just Us Girls Challenge #345 - Photo Inspiration Week

It's my last appearance as Guest designer for  Just Us Girls Challenge for the month of
 May 2016. Every week JUGs challenge blogs brings a unique challenge to spark your 
creativity. It's fun and a great way to get the creative flow going.

The fourth week  in May is - Photo Week- meaning you look at the photo and take your
 inspiration from that.  Whatever in the photo inspires you is what you should go with. For
 me, I was inspired by the wallpaper both colour and the style and the deep pink flowers,

This is what I created...

To make this card, First I took a piece of patterned paper

With this I blended Distress Inks Squeezed Lemonade and a little Fossilised Amber. 

It took on the plain paper but the glossy part stayed white. I added this once it was 

coloured to a 5 x 5" card base.

I used the Gerber Flowers from Uniko, stamped and clear embossed on watercolour paper.

I then used a mix of oranges and pinks but got a bit heavy handed with the main flower and

 it now looks more red than orange/pink in the photo. I added a wee bit of Wink of Stella for 

sparkle to the petals. For the leaves I white embossed on vellum and coloured on the back 

so the colour was very light, I needed some greenery but didnt want it to take up the picture 

(not sure if I've described it properly there but you are sure to get the idea when you look at 

the card).

I finished it off with a die cut sentiment in gold mirror card. I was going to do white as white 

features quite strongly in the photo but it just got lost on the background pattern.

I had fun doing this and made a few different backgrounds using stencils as well which you

 will see at some stage later.

I hope you find this inspirational and come play along with us, HERE at Just Us Girls.
