Hi everyone!
It's the first Friday of a new month, so of course it's time for a brand new elemental inspiration challenge! But first we've some news for you - we are thrilled to announce that Purvi Gadewar has agreed to join us as a permanent member of our Design Team - well with her clever and inspirational style, we couldn't really let her go, could we?
It's Nat here this time and I've picked this lovely photo as a jumping off point - so many different elements you can incorporate in your cards!
You need to focus on 3 separate elements and the colour scheme counts as one element, so here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Tiled backgrounds
- Use lots of different scraps of patterned paper with punches and dies for a background or as bunting and other design elements
- Organza/ribbon flowers (a la that cream cushion in the photo)
- Layered stamping featuring florals
- Embrace a little steampunk or industrial style a la the lamp
- Plaid and tartans
- Mandala/geometric circle designs like the leather pouf
- A little birdie - did you spot him on the light blue rug?
- Shabby chic and vintage techniques
- Ephemera accents
- Beads
Here are some gorgeous card projects from the design team - it's amazing how the same photo can inspire such different looks isn't it? :-D
As always we look forward to seeing your interpretation! Remember to link up your project so we know where to find it.
Happy crafting!
Svenja
