May Inspiration Challenge: From Places Abroad, Australia
Several things inspired me in this picture, it is part of a tiled mosaic at the top of Mount Coot-tha in Brisbane.
I have never been to Australia, maybe some day. I liked the circles of the blues, yellow and brown so I wanted to incorporate that in my card. I will be entering this in the Challenge for May at
Altenew
Here is what I came up with.
I cut stitched circles with the die from Lil Inker of brown and yellow. They are inlay-ed in the front of the card. Then I just had fun stamping different colors of blue ink to get what I have here. I ended up with Stampin Up Pacific Point and Memento Paris Dusk and then Burnt Sienna to get the deep colors in these flowers. The stamp set is the beautiful Peony Bouquet by Altenew.
Enjoy and as always, I do appreciate your comments.
This is stunning! I love your flower in the bright blue and how fun that you created those wonderful circles to display it on. Lovely colors! I certainly see your beautiful card in the inspiration photo.

The color is out of this world fantastic, so deep and rich! Exquisite! (how's that for a word?) LOVE this, Barb! xo
ReplyDeleteI love this and your take on the photo is awesome. I might have to work up a design myself if I find the time today. Too many things I want to try it seems.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool take on that photo. I have been studying it and am verklempt about what to do. Will have to think about it some more. I love how you did the concentric circles, and then the blue flower. One of my favorite Altenew stamps. Thanks for the inspiration....now I must go find Mo and Jo.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what a wonderful take on the challenge. I love how you created your circles to mimic the pattern in the photo and the flowers are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow, Barbara! I love this card! Those stacked circle dies look amazing. Great color choices too. The bright blue and yellow really pop on the neutral background.
