Dear Ones~
This week is Photo Week over at Just Us Girls, and I'm the host. Here is the photo I have chosen:
This is actually a photo of one of our daughter's paintings. It's called "Family Portrait" - isn't that cute? She and her husband have 2 boys, so this is her take on her family. If you are interested in seeing her other paintings, you can visit her Etsy shop HERE.
I chose this because I love all the colors and I thought it would be fun to see what everyone came up with.
Here's my card:
I have a lot of background papers in my stash that I have created by playing with different Distress Inks, so I pulled out some of them and die cut the shapes. I love this cute nest die from Die-Namites and I thought it was perfect here.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Powder Blue and Ivory Card Stock
Die-Namites Spring Nest Die
Spellbinders Feather Die
Stampin' Up Seasonal Layers Thinlits for Branches
Spellbinders Pinked Circles Die
Various Distress and Oxide Inks
GKD Cottage Garden Stamp for Greeting

ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a great take on the painting which is fabulous...hoping I can find time to play along...anywho wonderfully created!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the challenge. Love that you used your daughter's painting for the inspiration. I just realized that I don't have one birds nest in my collection of dies. How did that happen? Great card and colors.

ReplyDeleteYou really nailed your card using that photo. It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love it even more knowing your daughter painted it, Judy. One question? Did you have that nest die? Or did you get it just for this challenge? ;) Either way it worked perfectly with all your background experiments.
ReplyDeleteYou no doubt are a very proud Mum with such a talented daughter. Well you and Himself are pretty good too so it has rubbed off. Love your take on that fabulous painting Judy. That birds nest and all the coloured bits look amazing. Loved playing with your challenge!
