JAI 63 Inspiration Challenge

Oh dear where do I start. This week at the Just Add Ink website they have an Inspiration Challenge for us. I must admit I took a look at the picture and talk about a head spin. Wasn't really sure what to do? So went away and got tea organised, did a few things, came back had another look, still bambozzled so went and watched some TV. Mind still boggling but had a few ideas. Kids fed, bathed and in bed mmmm what should I do? Here is a look at the picture we had for inspiration.

I must say great picture. Now like I said had something in mind so set about to put it together. No not quite what I had in mind, back to the drawing board. I stayed with the general idea I had from the start and just kept playing until I finally came up with this idea.


With a few changes here and there and lots of scrap going in the bin all in all I am happy with the end result. It is a very bright and cheery card, which is the feeling I got from the Inspiration Photo.

This is a picture of the inside of the card. I decided to put the Big Butterfly inside to go with the front of the card.
