Today I finished a very fun project. It allowed me to delve more into my "artistic" mind and I so enjoy that every once in a while. The challenge this week over at Bows and Berries, was to take inspiration from this picture:
Well, I decided to do that in all literal sense of the phrase. The porch picture was so inviting and there were so many elements that I liked, I couldn't just pic a few. So, I made a card with almost the exact porch scene (minus a few elements because it was getting difficult to add them all to such a small card...LOL)
The lanterns on the porch scene in the picture, turned on a light bulb in my head, to use the vintage bird cage digital images from Beyond the Fringe that I have been anxiously waiting to use. I also got to use "skully" from Graphicat Creations again! Notice the handmade planter on the left to mimic the one in the photo????
I am also proud to say that I got to use up a lot of my stash and scraps...wee hee!!!
The card itself, was a scrap that measured 5.5" by 8.5" (folded in half to measure 5.5"x4.25). The door, bench, and porch rug were all strips I had in my scrap box. The pumpkin stickers are photo stickers and the tree was cut from Serenade at 3". I looked all over for something that mimicked the wreath on the door, and then I saw the spider rub-on in my stash. The BOO sentiment is a border strip that I had used on a previous project and I cut it to fit behind the tree. The rest of the scene was created by coloring/drawing with my Whisper Strokes watercolor markers. A few bits of foam squares to add dimension, and VOILA', FINITO!!!
