I found this photo on
Pinterest - I think it's just SO cool!! I love the colors, the way it's designed...and of course the positive message
I am inspired by
* Theme (Topography/Text)
* The color scheme (Rainbow with a pop of grey)
* The textures (distressing)
* The style (fun and cute, clean and graphic)
* Techniques (coloring open letters)
* Accent possibilities (the sky is the limit)
* Paper Smooches stamp suggestions (Sunny Side Up, Sentiment stamp sets)
So friends, that's your challenge...take inspiration from this fabulous photo. Follow it closely or use it loosely...just have fun!
Create a NEW project (card, tag, layout, altered item, etc)
(stamps from other companies can be used, but please make sure that PS images are easily seen)
Post your Paper Smooches SPARKS project on your blog. We would love you to include our SPARKS banner (shown on the right column) somewhere on your post.
