papertrey november blog hop


It's that time of the month again... 

This month is about getting inspiration from book covers.  Cover art can be a wonderful source to get those creative juices flowing.  Nicole provided us with this photo inspiration.


I chose the bottom middle cover, Liars, as my inspiration.  The electric fan immediately reminded me of a pinwheel so I went ahead and created this card.



I used the same colour palette as the cover and translated the air coming out of the fan as rolling meadows. 


I used pop dots to adhere my pinwheel and meadow to give it a bit of dimension
 I used Papertrey's cardstock (hawaiian shores, stamper's select white), stamp (Iconic Images for the sentiment), die (in the meadow), ink (smokey shadow) and impression plate (Linen and Canvass).  I also used patterned paper from MME's Lime Twist collection and a brad from my stash.

As I was making my card, I was reminded of a layout I previously created here which had the same colour palette and used a pinwheel as my main embellishment. 



Hope you are having a nice weekend!  Thanks for stopping by and happy hopping!
