Tuesday Trigger: Poolside Inspiration

Cath has another Tuesday Trigger posted- here it is:


Gorgeous, no? Well the texture & the colors grabbed me. And since I have a million things I really should be doing- I thought I'd make a card instead! I wanted to try out the core'dinations cardstock for this- thought it would look great with the PTI impression plate. I wish I had a piece that was a little more green; this was the closest I had. And I wanted that punch of blue- hence the prima flower.

Not sure the woodgrain impression on the kraft shows well in the pics- but it adds nice texture in person. Seam binding & machine stitching finish it off.


This was my first time participating in a Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab- always so much inspiration there! Go check out what the others have done with this challenge!
Thanks for stopping by- I'd love to know what you think! :)

  3. So pretty and so relaxing. I love that you choose the aqua to work with (even though it might have been dictated by your paper availability!) Its refreshing. And the touch of the woodgrain scallops is so subtle but stands on its own with the contrasting kraft. Well designed!

  5. I love your take on the challenge. It has a cool, fresh feel. I do see the woodgrain texture on the kraft and you are totally rockin' the stitching. I love the ribbon tied over the flower, with some of the flower petals peaking out. Great job, chickie!
