Just Add Ink 309

This week at Just Add Ink, it's inspiration week: make a card using the photo as inspiration.


Turns out that I found quite a lot of inspiration here: colour, shape and even the texture of the blanket appears in the background.



And inside...


I layered up the letters in HAPPY to give them some extra punch. I like the contrast of the soft texture of the backgrounding and the sharp lines of the zigzags.

Update: Very happy that this card received an Honourable Mention at Just Add Ink.

Ingredients
Card: Whisper White, Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Basic Grey
Stamps: SU Timeless Textures, W&W Big, Bold and Party
