PS Sparks - July Picture Perfect Challenge



Helloo there...long time no see again!!!
Well another Monday has come around again and a new Paper Smooches Sparks challenge starts today... it's picture perfect time and this weeks photo was a real head scratcher for me at first!!!

Such a clever piece of photography and beautiful colours too but the shape of the sun is what I kept going back too soo I got creative with some Distress inks on a circle of canvas to make a Sympathy card which are sometimes handy to have ready made ....


I used two pierced circle dies from Dienamics... one to deboss onto the card front and the other to cut the canvas which had been watercoloured with several shades of DI. The flowers and sentiment are stamped in Versafine which dried really well on the canvas.

I'm looking forward to seeing what inspiration you take from the photo in your cards too...dont forget to check out the rest of the design teams cards too

and check out the challenge details at the PS Sparks blog here.
Thanks for looking :0)

  17. I like the sunshine element on a sympathy card - they can often be too dark and gloomy - there has to be a little light after even the darkest hours.
