| My Card |
When I look at the inspiration photo, the objects that I instantly focused on, were those wonderful pillows! I just love the stripes on the round pillow. It has so much character and is simply pretty! And, how can you resist those orange pillows! The polka-dots, and those kraft pom-poms! The colors remind me of nature, and the photo shows all natural materials. So here is what I made.
The card base is Chocolate Chip. The main panel is a simple green pattern on green cardstock; simple and elegant. The stripes are layered onto the green piece, just like the pillow sits on the green sofa. The orange polka-dot piece mimics the adjacent pillow. I felt that the kraft pom-poms made such an inpact, that I had to re-create the pom-pom and put it on my card. I made the kraft flower out of 'natural' coffee filters and a scallop circle die. I cut 12 scallop circles and stacked them. Then I crumpled each one individually. With all the natural materials in the photo, I wanted an 'earthy', simple material to wrap around my polka-dot piece. So, I chose a thick hemp twine. I kept the leaves simple, few and a 'background', just like the potted plant in the photo.
I used this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch, to help me with the layout. All paper craft supplies are from Stampin' Up! However, most are retired.
