for your inspiration 20

This is my second post today - please scroll down to see my CASE study card.

This photo is absolutely stunning! I say it every week, but Steph keeps finding the most amazing pictures to get our creativity fired up at For Your Inspiration.



As I said in my last post, a friend asked me to make a 50th birthday card for a man. I didn't want to give her just one to choose from so I created this card too. My card was inspired by the colours and the silhouetted horizon of this stunning photo but the layout was inspired by this card of Jessica Witty's.

Supplies: Stamps - Papertrey Ink big birthday wishes; Inks - Versafine onyx black; Card - Stampin' Up tempting turquoise, island indigo, basic black; Dies - Papertrey Ink angled labels, by the numbers; Impression plate - Papertrey Ink numbers

Here's the detail shot:

    I just love this card, Debby. And now that I have seen your other option, I love that too! Did your friend take both? :-)

    Oh, this is absolutely gorgeous. This is my year to be making '50' birthday cards, and I have run out of ideas, so thanks for the inspiration.

    Gorgeous use of negative space, Debby! If I were the person having to pick a card I think it would be a tough call!
    Hugs,
