Last night I shared a couple of cards that I did for the One Layer Wednesday challenge. I commented that inspiration challenges are not a comfortable fit for me. Several of you commented that you have the same discomfort. I'd never know it from looking at your cards though.
Here's another card that I did for this challenge. I don't know if I can enter 2, but it was a good exercise. We were to choose a picture from Marta Writes at pinterest. This is the picture I chose to interpret....
I love all that texture!
This is what I came up with....
Too boring! So I dyed some white taffeta ribbon with the Peach Parfait marker and added it.....
Much better, but it veers from the inspiration photo too much. So.....
I gathered some vanilla seam binding by pullng a thread in the middle.
It's difficult to add a ribbon like this to a one layer card! Glue dots to the rescue!
More like the photo, but, oh no, I think I like the peach ribbon better. I'll bet those glue dots won't let go!
So much for inspiration photos.
I think I'll go read a book!

LOL I love your interpretation. Definitely agree that the peach ribbon is my favorite. Personally, I try to use inspiration for a jumping point and then if the result is a bit different, so be it. Regardless, you came up with beautiful designs! :)
Thanks for showing us all of the steps in your process, Bonnie!! It's so interesting to see your thought process. I think you captured your inspiration photo quite nicely!!
You're too funny, Bonnie!
I really like, perhaps love, this texture folder...fab choice from your inspiration stand point. Like the card with the peach ribbon best, but I think there is a lot of possibility with card #1 if perhaps you used a bigger image that is more of a line drawing rather than solid color. Great job!
VERY lovely, Bonnie! I love the textured look, too! You did a great job!
Ha...the lady can't mind up her mind. You are so funny. Gosh, I don't know what I would have done with that inspiration, but you did a really good job. I enjoyed seeing your steps. Lovely card, Bonnie!
Oh, Bonnie...definitely the peach ribbon...and what a fabulous interpretation of the photo!! Love it!
