JAI #219 : SOMETHING FOR BABY

Our Just Add Ink challenge this week is provided by Trish, who came up with this fabulous inspiration pic for us to use as a starting-point for a card or other papercraft project:




I started off with the idea of making a bold, geometric-design, masculine card - but, as often happens, the image in my head just would not translate to paper!!  So, I ended up with something completely different to my original plan.  I was inspired by the stripes, and the bold yellow that I see as Crushed Curry.  Here's my take on the challenge, using a cute new stamp from the Something For Baby stamp set (out 1st July).  Check out the matching framelits and paper-piercing template around the duck -  such fun!

Card: Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Crushed Curry

  1. I love your interpretation of the inspriation pics, Christine! Isn't funny how the creativer process works? Sometimes what you end up with is equally as wonderful or better than what you originally planned.

    This is a sweet baby card (that sentiment is lovely!), with beautiful soft colors. Love it!
