Paper Smooches Sparks - Picture Perfect Challenge

Good Morning....are you ready for a new challenge over at Paper smooches Sparks??? This week we have a photo inspiration challenge and we really hope you feel inspired to join us :0)

It appears these photo inspiration challenges are not proving to be as popular with you guys so I thought I'd share my thought process when deciding on my design :0)

The first thing I do is study the photo and then look away and write down the key things I remember about the photo starting with the most prominent, for me this was wooden, strips, home, yellow and aqua. This usually gets my mind thinking of different PS stamps and dies to use and then its just a case of getting them out and start playing with ideas on scrap paper. Remember it's not a case of combining all the things you've written down....any small part can give you the seed of inspiration!!!

Well wood seemed the key thing for me so I settled on the adorable wooden rocking horse in the Knick Knacks stamp set and decided to have a go at no-line colouring with Prisma Pencils...

I've used the inner part of the largest Scalloped Frame die to frame the image and then used the pencils to add an aged vignette around the edges. The sentiment is from Salutations, I chose to cut the stamp in half so it would fit the space better :0)

Please remember to visit my teamies and see how they were inspired by the photo
