SOS Challenge #40 - Photo Inspiration Challenge

I love photo inspiration challenges and that's just what we have in store for you this week over at Shopping our Stash Challenge Blog for our 40th Challenge.  I love them because I love how everyone can take a look at a photo and come up with completely different ways that it inspires them.  Here's the photo inspiration:

And here's my card inspired mostly by the fabulous colours in this photo!

I love the yellow and green and that's what I based my card on (though there are hints of pink, purple & brown as well).  I used one of the very first stamps I ever bought from Sugar Nellie "Daisy" which also happens to be one of my favourites too!  I coloured her with copics and since I don't often use yellow and green that much I'm considering it my stash for this week.

I also tried a new technique for me which is copic colouring using the palette transferring technique.  I LOVE this technique because I can do my shading so much better so I'll be practicing this way more.  I kept my card very CAS and only added a hint of cotton candy stickles to Daisy's ring of flowers in her hair.    Super cute, right?  I can't wait to see how our photo inspires  you this week!!

Paper Sundaes Challenge #26 Lots of Layers featuring Sugar Nellie's Daisy

Happy Sundae!  It feels like it's been forever since my last post.  I was away on vacation which was relaxing and fun until the very last day.  We went to the beach, did some fishing, hand fed a deer (my son was thrilled and watched the 4th of July fireworks from the beach.  Of course the last day we were there my son fell at the beach and cut up his hand and leg on some barnacles which was not fun, lots of blood & I don't do well with that.  Thank goodness there were others there that could help.  Then we got a phone call that my dad's house had been broken into so he left early to rush back and it was horrible.  I felt really bad for him as he collected alot of antiques and old tin toys as well as artwork that was taken along with lots of other things like jewellry etc.   It sucks that there are horrible people that do this type of thing to others but I guess we will never get away from it.

Anyways on a happier note I made a card with my absolute favourite Sugar Nellie image "Daisy" for our Paper Sundaes Challenge #26 which is being sponsored this week by Sugar Nellie!  You can pick up this fabulous image here at Funky Kits along with many other great stamps!  The challenge this week is Lots of Layers which I thought was fun!

I layered my papers and my flowers so I think that should count, right?  Isn't this image super adorable?  It was the first Sugar Nellie stamp I purchased but wasn't the last and is still my hands down favourite!  I coloured her with copics of course!  Other supplies used:  Prima Flowers, Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, SU scallop border punch, misc brads and paper by My Minds Eye & K&Company.  Be sure to check out the Paper Sundaes Blog for more details on this challenge and to see the other Sundae Girls creations!  We'd love to see you play along with us & I'm sure there will be an amazing prize to be won!
