Inspired By All The Little Things #75

Hello friends.  Playing along with Inspired By All The Little Things challenge and this fabulous inspiration photo:

I was inspired by the wood paneling in the background, the skates, the star, and of course the beautiful soft blue color.  This is what I came up with:



I used Weathered Wood Distress Ink for my hardwood background (SU!) and although my photo looks more gray than blue, in real life it really is a soft blue!  I also used the same ink around the edges of the 2 stars.  The skate die cut is a Gina Marie Designs (the stars and the scalloped circle too) and I added a bit of soft blue sparkle paper for the blades of the skate.  Not too realistic, but hey, artistic license and all that, right?!  My sentiment is from PB's Yuletide Wishes stamp set.  A very CAS card and I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

You can check out GD Bobby Hagen's card and all the rest of the DT cards right HERE and then play along...there's still a few days left!

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

This looks like it was made from white-washed wood to be a wall decoration, Marcia! It is downright stunning and every element is beautiful, especially the schparkly blades! That's cool!! Thank you for playing at Inspired By! Hugs, Darnell

That skate die is phenomenal, Marcia, and your presentation of it is amazing. I love the soft blue woodgrain and star edging. Thanks for sharing your card at Inspired By All the Little Things.
