You Make Me Smile! Crazy 4 Challenges C4C185!

 

Happy Saturday!   It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details with the crazies at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C185).  


This week we have an Inspiration Photo!  
 


For my card I am using Verve's Surely Goodness and Smile Plain Jane  stamp sets.  I also used Verve's Cut Above Banner BundleRounded Scallop, and Goodness Flowers dies along with the newly released Occasion Frame die.  

For my card I focused on shapes, colors, and textures.  I thought the background pattern I chose focused on the starfish shape in inspiration picture.  I chose to emphasize some orange pattern papers in different hues and patterns.  I continued with added textures from the soft felt stitched starfish from picture to the contrasting rocks underneath with distressed edges, stitching, rounded corners, sharp corners, and dimension.   I masked the Smile Plain Jane stamp.  I stamped the Make Me Smile portion in Morocco Memento ink.  I then masked the banner portion and inked with Ocean Tide ink.  I cut this banner out by hand and layered over one of the Banner Bundle dies.  I then stamped the coordinating flower from Surely Goodness in a
soft golden yellow ink.  I then used the largest flower with leaves and stamped directly to the coordinating die cut image from pattern paper.  I added a some coloring touches to the leaves with Spectrum Noir markers.   For the bow I used Verve's Signature Ribbon Collection in Cream.
I am using this week's Mojo292 Sketch.
