to think of you is to smile


 I was determined to play with the inspiration photo from just add ink...I have started, completed, and given up on at least three cards already...lol. This was one of the hardest inspirations I have ever done. I finally just knew I was gonna use red and white and well, this is the outcome....not completely happy but I am gonna with it. I even used purple...lol..I was getting very desperate. I have used an amazing concord & 9th set called love you mean it...so many possibilities. A watercolored background using prima marketing confection pans and th distress inks for flowers and leaves. This was one of those times were I wanted to give up, but something inside of me would not let it rest...*grin*

words with meaning - let the beauty of what you love be what you do.

  4. This certainly turned out lovely Teresa so thanks for persisting with the challenge. The red in the inspiration photo made a big impact on me too and I like how you brought the natural earthy tones in by using kraft cardstock and the twine. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

  8. Thanks for persisting on the challenge, Teresa & apologies for my choice of tricky inspiration pic. I so know the feeling when you can't get your ideas from your head to paper. However, if you hadn't said you struggled I'd have no idea from your card. I love the soft, pretty & almost dreamy look you've created. Thanks again for playing along at JAI.
