WOJ #81 - Photo Inspiration

Hi Friends~

Edited To Add:  I have now updated the pictures so they look WAY better now...I love using natural light much better than my daylight lamp!!!  :)  I've also added details to my card!  Hope you enjoy!

This is going to be a short post, and I apologize!  I was gone for a few days....my hubby had a funeral director's convention in Madison, WI (which is about 3 1/2 hours away from home) and he wanted me to go along with for a few days....so I went along for a mini-vacation.  It was such a nice get away...did some shopping so that is always fun!!!  We just got back last night so I don't have a lot of time to write up this post...have school today, and a final exam for my first summer class tomorrow (eekkk)!  I will definitely come back later today and add more photos and information! :)

It's been two week's again so that means we have another fun filled WOJ Challenge!  This week we have a photo inspiration challenge! These challenges are so fun to see the different ways people can interpret the same photo!

 Here is my card which I am not happy with the picture....so I will be taking a better photo and sharing it with you later today!  I have used a Norma Fickel stamped called Strawberry Girl!  Isn't she so cute?!  I love all the big spaces of the gnomes to color and blend!

Here is the fun photo where you can get your inspiration for our fun challenge.

Here is a close up of Miss. Strawberry!  I colored her with Copics and Copic Spicas.   She's been cut out with my Octagon Nesties (which they happen to be 25% off at SCACD right now!) as well as the poka-dot paper behind her.  The large square was cut with my Big Scallop Square Nestie and then I used Platinum Stickles to outline it.

Flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts!  I have used 10mm open roses, 4mm closed rosebuds, and a white Gardenia that I used my Copic ABS and airbrushed it to match the color scheme of my other roses!

The strawberry charm was silver....Did you know that you can color charms with your Copics?!  If you didn't now you know you can!  I love my copics because you can color ANY type of material to match your colored image! 

I hope you enjoyed the edited pictures/post! :)  I do hope that you will join us in our photo challenge, as I look forward to seeing your wonderful creations!

Again, I will be back later today to add better and more photos along with details of this card! :)
