The
Crazy4Challenges goal this week was to be inspired by a photograph.
Here is the card I made......
My inspiration came from the pinks in the photograph. I chose the embossing folder as it seemed to repeat the banister designs in the photo. Then I veered off a bit with the green. Guess my mind went from PINK to SPRING all on its own!!! Oh well, I did get my original idea from the colors. It just might be the snow that is still on the ground from Christmas weekend that is making me yearn for spring!!! (At least here in eastern Connecticut, we missed the snowstorm that hit the western and central parts of the state today.....!!!)
For this card I used a soon-to-be-released set by
Mark's Finest Papers. Aren't these pansies so very gorgeous???!!!
The goal for the
Speedy's Friends Challenge was to use embossiing. Now, this is not a stretch for me as it is a rare card of mine that does NOT have embossing. I am a total texture person....in so many ways!!!!
On this one I used the small hearts embossing folder for the texture. Again I used a soon-to-be-released set by
Mark's Finest Papers. This set, called
Sew What, has all sorts of sewing/button related images/sentiments. It is 'sew' cute!!!
NOW...you really must visit the blogs of both of these very talented teams. You will enjoy and be dazzled by their work.

Joanne, those pansies are superb! I love the pink from your inspiration. When I first saw your inspiration, I thought you were off on a wonderful trip and you were showing us the sights. LOL
Your little hearts embossing folder on the Sew What set is so/sew sweet. Such a great card with awesome colors.
I think we may get a lot of snow starting Sunday. Of course, that gets folks in this part of the country very excited. You know if we do, I 'll have photos to share. Just can't help it..a bit of a big deal here.
Both of these are beautiful Joanne. I am especially loving those pansies.
Those pansies are beautiful, Jo! That card is gorgeous enough to make the snow go away! (Don't I wish!)
