Looks like Crafting Gods are favoring me these days... I am sooooooooooooo excited to be a part of the amazingly talented Design Team at Addicted to Stamps and more... challenge blog. When ATSM posted about their DT call,I created a card even though using the colors of that challenge was so very difficult for me. Nevertheless, I entered my card with no hope of being selected :)

But to my surprise, I got an email from "the owner" Kylie telling me that she likes my work and would be happy to take me on board, I was like am I reading right or am I dreaming.... I guess I was not dreaming, coz here I am with my very first post as a Design Team at ATSM.  Woohoo!!! I want to cheer for myself ;)

I hope you will like my creations and be inspired :)

So, this week the challenge at Addicted to Stamps and more... is a Photo Inspiration. The photo has so many elements that will inspire you, the colors, the elements, theme...

Also, we have a wonderful prize from our Sponsor Nicecrane Design for the winner.

For me the inspiration to make this card was that unusual fruit on the photograph which had yellow and green shades. You will see it, if you closely observe the picture.

To make this, I first drew some light pencil lines to make my vertical grid using Martha Stewart score board. I then did some masking and inking to bring those shades. I then stamped the flowers (from Scrappy Cat - sunny days) on a white card stock, colored and fuzzy cut them. These were then stuck on the scored panel with foam dots. To add finishing touches, I hand drew twigs surrounding the panel with sharpie marker and added punched maple leaves. Sentiment (from Paper Sweeties - you make me smile set) was stamped.

There you go... my first DT card is all set :)
