It is the 25th of the month and that means PTI Blog Hop! This month is an inspiration challenge. The photo is full of fun patterns in sunshine yellow with touches of aqua.
I really wanted the card to be upbeat and happy since that was how I felt looking at the inspiration.
I kept most of the card yellow (yay for Harvest Gold ink!) in lots of patterns. The ribbon had to be aqua (is there anything prettier than aqua satin ribbon?).
I futzed with the bird positions – I didn’t want them to be at the same height, so I tilted one a bit. I just felt it gave the card a bit of interest for them not to be “mirrored”.
Thanks for stopping by!
