A Photo Inspiration.....

Hi Susan here...

Today is the start of a new challenge at Sentimental Sundays. The theme is a photo inspiration, take a look below -

You can be inspired by the colors, the subject matter, the textures, the ambiance, but whatever this photo evokes in you tell us about it, translate it into a project. We are really looking forward to seeing what you create!

For full details of the challenge and see what the design team has made using the picture call across to the Sentimental Sundays Challenge Blog and join in the fun with us!!

Now onto my card....

I was inspired by the colours and the thought that Spring was fast approaching.....Those beautiful Spring days when we have gorgeous sunny days with the trees coming into bloom and the flowers just coming through, when you can sit and relax before the heat of the summer.

Going to the beach for the day and watching the waves hitting the shores enjoying those first good days of the year!!

My backing papers are from my stash, I have stitched and distressed the edges. The little buckle and ribbon remind me of a little boys trouser belt...they are both from my stash.

My image is from Lili of the valley and reminds me of my Grandson, any chance of sitting down and relaxing is fun for him hahaha!!! I coloured the image with promarkers, the flowers with button centres were made using a punch, as were the leaves.

My sentiment designed by Ann Vento is from Raindrop Echo Designs, I changed the colour to match my scheme.
