It's Picture Perfect week over at the
Paper Smooches Sparks blog and I'm really enjoying how these photos are making me think creatively....come and see this weeks inspiration picture...
I resisted the temptation to go literal and followed the floating theme and colours....
The great thing about Paper Smooches stamps is how the stamp sets mix and match...... a quick search through my collection helped me find two different size balloon stamps and an oval and a circle to make the larger balloons at the base of the design. The balloons are stamped and cut from three shades of textured card, I've added shading by blending distress inks around the edges and white pencil highlights.... I'm so pleased with how they turned out :0)
Please join us this week and show us how the picture inspires you, here are the links to the rest of the lovely DT girls so you can see there creations too...
Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing you in the gallery :0)

Love the depth and perspective of this card. It's fantastic! I thought the tree and birds (your watermark) were part of the scene. That would be so cool, too.

ReplyDeleteOnce again, a lovely take on the inspiration photo. The shading and white highlights on the balloons are so effective, I wouldn't have thought to use ovals and circles to make more balloons. I envy your imagination and creativity.
