2010 PTI Princess Challenge #1

Look at this lovely inspiration photo!

Anya posted the challenge for this round and I was truly inspired. The colors made me think of the sea and the beach house we used to go to when I was a child.


I went literal with this inspiration photo. It was fun making the "ticking" for the top, and the circles for the bottom reminded me of bubbles. I was so glad the PTI white grosgrain ribbon didn't bleed when I stamped on it!
So although I was thinking of the sea, that didn't end up being what transpired into my card. Oh well, it's about creating, right? *smile*
