JAI #128: INSPIRATIONAL PHOTO

This week at Just Add Ink, Jodene has come up with a gorgeous inspiration pic to set our creative juices flowing!




The elements that stood out to me, when I first saw this photo, were the pink and orange flowers - Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Pumpkin Pie, in "Stampin' Up! speak"!  So, I have a rather  PINK creation to show you today. 

I have used one of the die-cut doily paper sheets from Stampin' Up!'s Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper, and adhered it to a panel of Pretty in Pink doily paper from the same selection.  A few punched-out flowers, bright buttons and little leaves finish off my card.





Stamps: Curly Cute
Card: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade
DSP: Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Pretty in Pink stampin' pads
Other: Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch, Melon Mambo dotted scallop ribbon, Brights buttons, White baker's twine, Sweetest Stem embosslits, Scallop Edge border punch, sponge dauber, mini glue dots, Tombow liquid glue, 3/4" Circle punch, Anywhere glue stick


We'd love to have you play along with us.  You might take inspiration from the flowers, or the colours, or any element in the photo.  Check out the rest of the Design Team's gorgeous creations, for even more inspiration!
