A Passion For Papertrey Challenge – Inspired

03.07.2013 by Leave a Comment

This week over at A Passion For Papertrey we want to see what inspires you!  Have you seen a photo on Pinterest or have something in your wardrobe that inspires you to create?  If so, get your crafty stuff together and see what you come up with!

I have just returned  from the Glastonbury Festival and if you can’t be inspired there you can’t be inspired anywhere!!!  There is colour and design everywhere you look, there is every kind of food you can imagine and obviously there’s the music!

The thing I will remember most is the colours – the whole site is festooned in flags, banners, ribbons, feathers, sparkly things……  it’s amazing.  My card is a take on the HUGE letters that spell out Glastonbury on the hill over looking the festival and I’ve chosen the brightest and boldest inks I could lay my hands on!!

inspired by Glastonbury Hope you can pop on by the blog to see the fabulous cards Kate and Aimes have come up with this time and maybe join in the fun too?

Thanks for stopping by,

Aaaaand finally – here I am with an actual card to share!!  It’s been so long since I sat down with stamps and ink and card I almost forgot how much I loved it!!  We have a new challenge launching today over at A Passion For Papertrey  and it’s a challenge I’m sure many of you will be able to join in with.  The theme is “Celebration” which has just about any occasion or event covered!  I’ve been waiting for the right time to try out one of my newest sets – Watercolour Wonder and played with one of my all time favourite combos of Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores. I’m not sure if I should’ve added the felt embellishments now – they were a bit of an afterthought!!
