Altenew - February Challenge

Hello everyone!

I have a quick card to share which I had created a few days back. It is totally inspired from the gorgeous inspiration picture that Yana had shared on the Altenew blog.

Here's a look at my card based on the inspiration picture.

Here's a look at the inspiration photo from where I have derived my inspiration for this card!

I was not only inspired by the colours, but also the ornate detailing of the metal grill on the doors. I tried to incorporate it in my card by dry embossing a strip of black cardstock and  lightly coloring it using Viva Decor Inka Gold on the embossed area.

The strips of yellow, black & blue on the side of my card were inspired by the background stripes of this inspiration picture. For me the inspiration was not only mainly visual, but also color based too! 

I have used the Altenew Beautiful Day stamp set to create my main focal as well as for the sentiment too which was heat embossed using Gold Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger. The coloring on my flowers & leaves were done using different shades of Distress inks. I just stamped the outline image of the stamp and tried to shade it to give it a more natural look.

I am also entering my card in the SSS wednesday challenge - Anything goes

I hope you like my card & my take on the challenge. Looking forward to hear your views. :)
