Life Is Meant to Be Enjoyed! Inspired By 77



May 16, 2019

It's time for a new challenge at Inspired By!




Isn't this a gorgeous photo? 
How are you inspired? checks? flowers? colors? squares? layers?

My card is created on a white card base.  I used water color paper and two colors of distress oxide ink on my background.  A few water droplets were added to create the splashes.  I also used another piece of water colored paper to add some brown distress oxide ink to use in the cut out section.  I used the Reverse Confetti Swoosh Cover  Panel to cut out the background.  I cut it again in the brown color and pieced that section in to look like the sand.  The little girl is from MFT Pure Innocence.  I believe she might be retired though.  I paper pieced her bathing suit with the yellow and white gingham checks like in the inspiration photo.  I found some flower and cactus paper in my stash and paper pieced her float.  Her "pillow" is pink!  The sentiment is stamped in brown.  It is from the same stamp set as the image.  hope she makes you smile!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mommy's out there!  I hope your day is filled with special moments!  

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players
The multi-talented JoAnne is our hostess this week and she has a very bright, fresh and bold color challenge for all of us!  I love vibrant colors, so I absolutely LOVED this combo!  I had so much fun that I made two cards this week!  






My cards are made on Pool Party and Lovely Lipstick card bases.  I added a top layer of white card stock cut with a scalloped die.  I used my favorite MFT dies Stitched Flowers.  I used Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick and Pool Party to cut lots of different flower shapes of each color.  The leaves are cut using Granny Apple Green.  


The sentiment is cut using the Beautiful die set.  I cut the bottom layer in black and the top layer in Granny Apple Green.  The Happy Birthday is stamped in black ink using the MFT Hello Beautiful stamp set.
