Juliana is hosting an inspiration challenge for this week’s Wacky Wednesday and she has given us an interesting contemporary piece of art to inspire us.
I was most inspired by the white squares and the colors blue and orchid. I found no inspiration from the X’s even though they were so prominent on the piece.
I stamped the Grid background on a piece of watercolor paper using Versa and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I sponged on Sail Boat Blue which brought out the squares of the background. I went to the new Wild Flowers set and chose one of the large flower grouping images and stamped it twice on a piece of watercolor paper. I watercolored the images for my main image layer and then colored and cut out all the flowers from the second image. I attached the cut flowers to the base with glue dots creating a dimensional flower that looked more “alive”. I chose pink to layer both the blue and image layers on. The pink gingham was a perfect garden like ribbon to use for my embellishment bow and for the sentiment tag. The sentiment is a little hard to read in the photo and says “Welcome to my Garden”.
