thank you for just being you

Hello crafty friends!!

Guess what time it is?! You got it, time for another Inspired By challenge!!

This week we are being inspired by these adorable wellies!!

Inspired By... Wellies #IB286

I was inspired by both the sketch and the photo prompt, specifically: the theme, the colors, and the patterns.

Speaking of patterns... I was in the mood for designing with my original card making love... patterned paper!!! :)

I started by (water)coloring the stamped image with distress oxide inks, then just ruffled through 10,501 pieces of patterned paper until I found some that coordinated with my watercolored image colors!! lol

Lots of layering, some inking for definition, jute twine bow, simple sentiment... lots of old school stuff going on here, felt great creating! :)

Be sure to check out the Inspired By blog and the rest of the design team's projects... hope you will be inspired to play along with us!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
