Here goes Nothin!

Alright, so I was cruising around this weekend and through Heather's blog happened to check out the Cupcake Craft Challenges blog and fell in love with thier challenges and the ladies are all super talented! I liked the variety of skills and levels.

I really liked this weeks challenge, so I started thinking. They ALSO are looking for a new DT...something I am not sure that I am even qualified for, but eh, its worth a shot!! I think it would be fun!

So, here is the picture that we were to draw inspiration from this week on the Cupcake Craft Challenges blog:

What a FAB picture right? SOOO cheery. So...relaxing and non-cluttered...(too bad I didn't think of the cluttered part BEFORE I made my card, lol) I was inspired by the lines on the vase and the table, and of course, the colors and flowers. I couldn't get away from them no matter how hard I tried. So here is my submission/entry:

The image was Stampin Up, I like your style. One of my all time fave sets! I thought the shapes and lines on the forms were perfect, as well as the shape of the forms themselves really leant themselves to this picture. The paper is from K and company and...I just liked the look of it. I DO kind of wish I had used a more cheery background, but I still like the way this turned out. The flowers are from American Craft. I used Stickles in the centers as well as on the forms to make it more...summery and fun. And, of course, I used my watercolor pencils on the image...

Incidentally, this ALSO (I think) qualifies for Mojo Monday! Yay for two-fers!!! So its also submitted over at mojo monday!

Well, there you have it! My entry/submission! I hope you like!!!
