Towel design

Photo Details

Poster: Dara

I made this for today's inspiration challenge.

I was totally inspired by these towels: http://www.hardtofind.com.au/product...-in-Berry.html

I loved how the towels were all the same colors but different patterns, and I totally loved the layout.

So I used real red for the following bg stamps: classic stripes, french script, and sanded.
I matted the images on real red.

Then I stamped in black the butterflies from: Dreams Du Jour and Simple friendship. I cut them out and popped them up.

I am quite please how this turned out. I think the inspired piece can really be seen in this card.

TFL and happy stamping! :)

Dara, I love how you translated the patterns of the red/white tea towels into this striking card....even duplicating the staggered way they were photographed. The black/white butterflies are a terrific addition. All = a stunning card.
