Such a lovely site Angie chose for the Inspiration Challenge! I chose THIS for my inspiration. I like the bright colors & floral theme.
This bg was made a while ago, using swirls made with plain old glue then using watercolors on top of it. I just really like the bright, happy colors & thought theyd go well behind these whimsical leaves. The leaves were put into my Misti, stamped, colored w/ Copics & a Prismacolor pencil overlay, then stamped again. I added the greeting & did my out of the box technique to die cut it. After matting, I used stickles in some areas, added a few sequins & some white dots for contrast.
Thanks so much for looking, Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is fabulous! I was torn between the inspiration photo you used, the owl and the guitar. LOL If only I had a bit more time, I would have made 3 cards! I love your colorful background. Really cool using glue as a resist! Your Out of the Box technique is terrific! I love those leaves! Spectacular card!

Julie, this is MARVELOUS! LOVE, love the bold, bright, vivid, and vibrant colors…they just rock! Your sentiment tag with those lovely “out of the box” leaves is so, so right for your background! In a nutshell, I love everything about this.
