Just Us Girls #353 - Photo Inspiration Week

It's Photo time over at Just Us Girls.  I am so loving the stripes on this photo so that's what I went with.
I used the direct to paper technique with my ink pads.  I just love the look.  Using my Hero Arts Palm die, and the CUTplorations Hello, and the Crazy Double Stitched Rectangles, my card is done!

We hope the photo inspired you, and that you play along!  See you over at Just Us Girls #353.


Thanks for stopping by~

So striking! I love the look of the black and I've never tried the direct to paper technique! It looks really interesting - the texture on the page. Xx

Great job with the direct to paper technique. I love the striped background, and the palm in black is striking.

Love your card, even sitting here thinking I might give this a go with those stripes in the background. Look great.

Your striped panel looks so cool, and love how the black base makes everything pop!

Gorgeous background (the ink swipe is something I've not done...added to my 'must try' list) that showcases your silhouette palms and gold hello fabulously! Waiting for my stitched panel dies to arrive...excited! Again, thrilled to be your GD for this challenge...such an honour!

A wonderful interpretation- good job!

Looking mighty fin, Vicki. Adore the background you created. I had to giggle when I saw the inspiration, as the PGA Tour is one street away from my DD's house this week and they have her roads blocked. Lots of excitement!

Fabulous take on the sketch Vicki!!! Love it!

Lisa Elton said...

Nancy said...

LOVE those big, beautiful leaves silhouetted against the pretty background. Great take on the challenge.

Fabulous background and love how you mounted that BOLD sentiment. Love those big leaves too.

That background is absolutely gorgeous! I love the big, bold palm with the foiled hello. Beautiful!
