Hi folks!
I’m posting the February prompt a little early as I won’t be at my desk in the morning.
This month we’ve got plenty of small details in our pinspiration prompt:
To get you started, here are a few things that came to mind when I looked at this image:
- The obvious focal point/design element: hearts!
- So many different ways to go with hearts, a background pattern, apertures, embellished hearts, DIY paper cut heart, masked hearts, heart sequins…
- Love and friendship themes. It’s not all about Valentine’s day – share the love with family and friends.
- Galentines Day – I love the concept of this. I first found out about it in that fabulous US comedy Parks and Rec. Celebrate the girl-friends in your life and send them a Galtentines message on 13th February. 😀
- Sequins/confetti/paint splatters – add interest to your card with dimensional accents or splatters of colour.
- Use all or some of the colours in the photo: kraft or grey as your neutral, red, pink tones, and gold. Try and take a break from white backgrounds.
- Foil, glitter, metallic accents
- Pretty floral bouquets
- Diamanté/jewelled embellishments – what about fancy ribbon buckles if you still have those in your stash? A good way to incorporate ribbon in your project.
- Washi tape
- Repeat patterns/random background patterns (a la those lipstick marks!)
- Ikat pattern – if you look closely at the tablecloth it’s an ikat design. Something you could possibly recreate with stamps or stencils.
- Try ombré ink blending from pink through red.
I think that’s it for now! 🙂
Happy crafting!
