Good evening, this is a scheduled post as hopefully I will be asleep when the challenge goes live in Australia! This week at ATSM the theme is our photo inspiration. This is what I came up with -
and this is the photo
Now as soon as I saw the image of the wreath, I knew which stamp I was going to use for this but I sort of went off piste with the interpretation as you can see.
The stamp is from a Woodware set, as is the greeting. I stamped the wreath then added a selection of buttons, candi, sequins, Stickles,gems and Copic colour to the outline then added a matching bow and a panel of paper. I've used this layout a few times over the years using different colourways. I think I saw the original in a mag a few years ago.
This time I used the colour palette from the latest challenge over at Less is More which matches my card theme for this year of mainly blue and white, as opposed to the traditional colours of the photo.
So come on over and join us in our latest challenge, check out the rest of the DTs fantastic inspiration.We are sponsored by
