There is an inspiring pretty picture this week at the TGIF challenge blog. For me, I saw blooms in an array of pretty tones - Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, slashes of Real Red and deeper Cherry Cobbler. I chose to make flowers from the Everything Eleanor stamp set in these colours.
I tried to find a patterned paper in my collection that would compliment these shades - maybe a grid style like in the background of the TGIF image. I came across this piece from the retired Sent with Love pack and thought it was perfect for my background. I just added the Everything Eleanor swirl in red to tie in the red from the blooms and the Riding Hood red card stock I chose to border it with.
There are lots of yellow flowers sprinkled throughout the inspiration picture. I added yellow colouring to the centre of my blooms and then paper punched some additional yellow flowers to scatter around to finish the design.
I love challenges like these, that help me put together designs I might never have otherwise. Can't wait to see what others in the stamping community come up with!
