Just Us Girls Challenge #358 - Photo Week


 
Dear Ones:
It's PHOTO WEEK over at Just Us Girls, and I'm the host. I have chosen this beautiful photo as the inspiration. Okay, so it's a photo of a painting. I found it on Pinterest, and I wish I could give the artist credit, but sadly I have no idea who it is. But I thought it was just beautiful.

Here is my Example:

There are a lot of elements in the photo that could be used for inspiration, but my eye kept going to that one white feather in her hair. I also liked all the birds here and there. I sponged the background with various inks and then spritzed with water for the mottled look. I love the effect. Then I splattered with gold.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White and Prickly Pear Card Stock
SU Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral Ink
PTI Friends of a Feather Stamp Set
Martha Stewart Bird Punch
GKD Fanciful Tags Stamp for Greeting
Fine Tec Metallic Watercolor

Please visit the JUST US GIRLS blog to see the wonderful cards that our awesome August Guest Designer Colleen and the rest of the team have made this week. And remember, if you win Chic of the Week in any of our August challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of October!!   I hope to see you there. 
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by!!
