A very graphic birthday




I just love it when something just comes together effortlessly and I sure wasn't planning for that to happen when I sawVicki's photo inspiration for Just Us Girls this week. It seemed somehow daunting. I think all photo inspirations are daunting though!  Anyway, all that black and white! Yikes! I like lots of color!


I examined the image and an idea took place! I love acetate so the glass coffee table was my starting point. the rest just fell together. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the results! (not to toot my own horn but yeah!!) The card has that clean and graphic feel the Arydeth inspires.


 Here is another view.

This view was by accident. I had the card sitting up on a pile of other cards. It was evening and the light was on in my studio. I saw this oh so cool shadow effect on the card. I just love it!! 

Please join us this week at Just Us Girls for this very graphic and cool photo challenge!

This is such a cool design! Love the use of the acetate with the sentiment on the outside and again lined up on the inside. You definitely rocked this inspiration challenge!

You can certainly toot your own horn on this one! It's so pretty! I have an aversion to acetate cards...they scare me! But I just love yours! Love how you used the inspiration photo too!
