twist on challenge {four}
When I saw the photo for travelingmama‘s challenge this week I was so excited! The colors are amazing, and I felt that for sure this was going to be my most inspired and favorite card yet…until I sat down and tried to draw it out. I couldn’t do it! I could not come up with a design that even looked okay enough to say it was inspired by the Rothenburg door from Savitri. Out of my bucket full of markers in (what I thought was) every possible color, I couldn’t get the colors to give me the same feeling that the colors in the photo did.
So…I gave up on the card! I switched my focus over to another fun thing I love to do instead and made some jewelry! (I hope that fits in with the guidelines…)
I was inspired by the gorgeous colors first – I only wish my markers came in these colors! Then I played on the shapes in the photo with the beads I used. There was the angular design of the orange wall as well as the blue, square shudder that can be translated into the square beads I used – the green and the orange. Then there were the round shapes in the arch of the doorway and the wreath on the door that are mimicked in the round beads.
Thank you travelingmama and Savitri for the inspiration! And special thanks to my mom for being my model!
