Inkspirational: Photo

Welcome the newest challenge at Inkspirational, where do we ever have a photo challenge for you! Click on the badge above if you want to see this pic in all its glory. It may be a little bit... unusual, but there are certainly lots of different things in the photo from which to take inspiration.  For me, it was an easy choice to pick red and white for my colours. I also wanted to incorporate some polka dots, and see if I could capture a little of the surreality of the photo. Here's the result. 

I likely could have found polka-dot patterned paper somewhere in my stash, but it was almost as easy to just make my own. Red ink on white cardstock, then white ink plus white embossing powder on red cardstock. The funky tree and bug are my nod to the strangeness of the photo, and as much as anything, I made it into a get well card because the sentiment fit nicely into a circle. I'm pleased to say this is the first get well card I've made this year, and it will be added to my stash. No need for it at the moment, touch wood. ;) 

You will enjoy seeing all the different directions the Inkspirational team went in interpreting this new challenge! Hope you will see something in this photo to inspire you, too.
