It all begins with a simple sketch. While visiting Chupa’s blog Random Acts Of Creativity, I came across this great card. Thank you Chupa for sharing today’s inspiration piece.
Chupa used some Hero Arts Stamps set, but feel free to use what you have in your stash. It’s nice to make a good ole’ all-stamped card, from time to time. What a nice simple, graphic layout. I hope it inspires you as it did me. I love the versatility of this design. You can use it for any occasion.
I love the striking effect of placing a brightly colored object in the middle of a monochromatic setting. It really makes the orange butterfly just pop off the card.
My hope is to inspire you to be fearless when it comes to your creativity, to try new things and most important to have fun!
Thanks for the visit and have a very creative day.
