The current challenge is to use the following photo to inspire your project
I decided to interpret the colours, shapes and reflective surfaces and create a Christmas card. Now I know the photo with the invited pool doesn't scream Christmas but the golds and shimmers (and the fact that I've been in Christmas card mode for a while) all lead me down the Christmas theme.
I started with a black pearl 6 x 4 base card and cut a black, cream and gold spotted shape from DP from Papermania using a Spellbinders Label, and then I drew around the outside on some shiny cream card and cut it out by hand to create a thin matt. This echoed the colour of the building and the spots the lights. I took a gold oval (again cut with a Spellbinders die) to represent the shape of the building and the reflective quality of the pool and stamped a Christmas sentiment from Waltzingmouse and embossed that with pewter embossing powder. The reflections made the photography difficult but the sentiment reads "to aid in the attainment of PEACE on earth".
I hope you like the card and are inspired by the photo - can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!

If you've clicked the link and noticed a suspicious lack of my card, then I assure you I haven't made it up - something went wrong and my DT bit has been missed off :-(
ReplyDeleteLovely card! I like the gold piece with the embossing. Apologies for the tardiness in adding your card, but it's up now.
