Have you checked out Inspired by All the Little Things? It's a new challenge created by Lesley Croghan! Every week there is a new inspiration photo and a sample from a very special guest. Then it's your turn to link up your creations. A new challenge starts every Saturday. I know.. it was a busy weekend for me too! The Easter holiday kept me hopping more than the Easter Bunny... first planning a menu, shopping, cleaning, then prepping for the big day! But we all survived and I hope a great time was had by all. Now to get back to a having things a little quieter, and maybe some crafty time to relax and engage your creative side!!It was Tracey McNeeley's turn to choose the inspiration photo this time! Check out the pretty cactus floral arrangement. The blue green and coral together is stunning! Yes of course I have to play! LOL! Tracey's guest is Stephanie Klauck! You'll enjoy reading more about her on the Inspired by blog!
I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. I am embarassed to admit how many times I colored this image before I was happy with it. I tried watercolors and lots of DIFFERENT colors.
I decided to fussy cut the image so I could add lots of coral / orange papers. The image is quite large and you wouldn't be able to see any background otherwise.
For a pop of color I added some pops of purple - one of the cactus, a pretty stitched border cut (Pretty Pink Posh), and a purple gem. My mom loves cactus and has them everywhere in her home. You'll find crochet doily under most of the smaller ones, so I added one on mine too.
