Paper Smooches SPARKS: May Picture Perfect challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week is a Picture Perfect challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

So... sometimes I wonder how people are inspired by the photos because their card DOES NOT match the inspiration! Well.... here's my thinking for this card: 

• I liked the dyed table clothes and thought I could watercolor something like that.
• I liked the metallic ball decorations on the table... they made me think of brads.
• This photo looks like it's a Mardi Gras party/decorations.... parties are for celebrating...so I went with a graduation card. 
• I see there are three color choices for this photo... I went with three colors on my card.
• This photo is busy... I went CAS. That's not similar at all:)

That being said... I understand if you don't like my interpretation! LOL! Trav seems to LOOOOOVE it! And this is a special card for our friend Daria who just graduated from Nyack University this past Saturday! HOOOOOORAY! Huge congrats, Daria:) 

 

Daria is soooooo amazing! We are so proud of her!!! 

I used some Tsukineko Memento Angel Pink and Morocco dye inks as watercolors by mixing these inks with Ink Potion No. 9. WOW~ looooooooooove how easy it was to turn these inks into watercolors! I embossed sentiments from the Paper Smooches Bold Buzzwords and Seeing Stars sets using Imagine Crafts black embossing powder. I added a bit of neon washi tape and brads to finish the card. CAS! LOOOOOOVE! 

You can kind of see the dyed look at the bottom of my card.... kind of:)

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.
