Early Morning

Hi Everyone
Its currently 4.06am Western Australia time, yes to early to be up and at the computer, but don't worry I will be going to back to bed shortly. This is the sort of thing I get up to when I can't sleep. Does it happen often? Yes, it can. At the moment the holidays are drawing to a close, and I'm trying to get as much stamping done as I possibly can, because I will soon be back to once a week.. One Power Ball is all it would take, so that what I love to do could be more consistent. It's good to dream.

So this morning I have for you a challenge entry for http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com.au/  This was really interesting as it was based on a inspirational photo-

Inspirational Photo! I said, thank goodness they had given a clue by giving us some colours to go by as this was a first for me. Anyway  as I am still in a Mothers Day mode, yes you guessed it I made a Mother's Day card, and this is what the inspiration gave me -


I will be honest here, as I'm  not a fan of Calyso Coral, and have not used a lot of it, but teamed up with the Everyday Enchantment papers I could get to like it.. As the Calyso Coral colour is the main basis of the picture, I used it as the base for my card, and the focal points. The DSP tuned in really well with the floor colours. Pool Party for the picture in the photo, and Sahara Sand for the throws and walls. The Whisper White is for the mix in the curtains. As the curtains looked flowery I chose Mixed Bunch stamp set, such as versatile stamp set it is, and a retired stamp set, Occassions All for the sentiment. The brad is also from Everyday Enchantment.

Remember to follow the link  and check out what everyone else has made as the cards are all so different in designs, and look really good.

Till next time,
Goodnight.
Sylvia.
