And here's my creation:
So how did this inspirational picture inspire me to create? Well, when I first saw it, I thought Circle Circus, simply because of the circle pattern on the quilt. I went with the colours Pacific Point, Baja Breeze, Yoyo Yellow and Whisper White.I started off with a base card in White, then added a layer of Pacific Point. Then with a strip of White, I used one of the circle images and my Stamp-a-ma-jig, to make a few rows imitating the pattern of the quilt. I've alternated these in the Pacific Point and Baja Breeze.
The I've added a strip of Yoyo Yellow and some DP from Pacific Point.
From here, I've picked up on the yellow cushions. See as I don't have the Yoyo Yellow ink, I decided to go with some white embossing and I believe the cushions have some white print on them! So I used another image from the Circle Circus, stamped in white ink onto Yoyo Yellow cardstock and then embossed in white. I've matted this onto some White and then Pacific Point.
To complete the card, I've added some ribbon with a blue button, some paper piercing and a little sentiment from Famiy Phrases.
Here's a closer look at the detail:
I've only used Yellow on the odd occasion, simply because it's so bright. But after using it in this card, well .... it's ok. And I noticed that there's alot of yellow in the clothing shops as well. So I'm pleased with how this card turned out and you may be seeing some more yellow soon!
