I love the challenges at Just Add Ink. They always inspire me when I get in creative slump. This week is a photo inspiration challenge.
I kept looking at it, and thinking, wow this is just so fall and wintery feeling. I know it has been a cold spring, but come on, where is the sunshine, budding trees and flowers? As read further I realized my friends at Just Add Ink are Aussies and yeah, it is coming on fall for them.
Well, taking the inspiration and putting on a northern hemisphere spin, I created a card using tulips from Papertrey Ink but I used the colors and textures from the photo.
And ya know what- I created a great card with a masculine spin. I don't think a guy would be offended by the flowers, do you?
I hope my card reminds my down under friends that there is always a little bit of spring even in fall.

Loving all the texture Sue, it really adds so much to a neutral card...very pretty! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
Sue, this is AWESOME!! Love, love, love all the texture that the embossing provides, and I love the different shades of neutrals you've used. Yep, we in Australia and NZ are heading into cooler weather (quite welcome after a very long, hot summer!). Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
Very lovely card Sue - I love the textures too - but I also love the rounded / square corners, it's a great effect. Chantell JAI
