It’s Paper Craft Crew challenge time! How about a fun inspiration photo to get your creative mojo going.

I love the calmness in this photo. The dark blue, crisp white and a pop of red. So, that is what I drew my inspiration from.

The Paper Craft Crew would love to have you join the fun and play along. Head over to the PCC blog and check out how the rest of the design team was inspired by this photo.

Wow! The Paper Craft Crew has reached challenge number 400! That’s a lot of creative inspiration. Let’s celebrate with a fun Tic Tac Toe challenge. Pic a row and get creative.

I decided to go straight across the middle: Monochromatic, Seasonal, Sympathy. I need to restock my sympathy cards. Never fun, but at least I can put some love into creating them.

I went with a neutral (monochrome) color scheme: White, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. The (seasonal) leaves from Rooted in Nature are stamped in Crumb Cake, White and Versamark to get some depth. The two accent leaves are embossed in white on vellum. The sentiment (sympathy) is embossed in white on Early Espresso. The leaf panel is die cut with a stitched rectangle and the card base is embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D emboss folder. Some linen thread and a wooden button compliment the natural feel of the card.

I invite you to join us on the Paper Craft Crew and play along! Thanks for stopping by. Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

Boy, summer is just flying by. I kind of wish it would slow down. But, time marches on. And with another week, comes another Paper craft Crew challenge! We are stepping away from the card sketches this week and working with an inspiration photo.

Oh, I love the summer vibe of this photo. The bright colors are fantastic. So, obviously, I didn’t use any of that for my card. LOL! I really like the rule grouping of threes in this pic. Here’s how that played out in my card.

I sponged three columns of color on my stitched rectangle panel: So Saffron, Rococo Rose, and Blushing Bride. Then I stamped the diamond image from the Prized Peony set in those same colors. The peony images were stamped in Gray Granite and watercolored. Finished card size is 3.5″x5″
