TCP Tuesday Challenge - TCPTUES56

This week TCP Tuesday Challenge, hosted by Toni, is an Inspirational Challenge. Toni, who has a very creative mind, chose these colorful glasses she found at the Museum of Modern Arts website. as our inspiration. Don't they look beautiful?

My eye first saw green and grass :) then I thought of white and clear, and finally I focused on the blue and orange. That is what I went with.

I had ideas but I needed a sketch to serve as a guide. On Monday, Jen from i{heart}2stamp posted a Sketch for You to Try (SFYTT) and it also caught my eye - it looked like so much FUN, and I just had to try it out!

This sketch just fit - the glasses also reminded me of a photo frames so I went with that idea using the rectangles on this sketch.

This is my take on this week challenge and on the sketch above:

I chose to use the Hearts and Flowers TCP stamp set because of the cute snail trying to climb that flower - perfect for the garden theme I was going for. With the help of my Cricut, I was able to cut a frame out of orange PP and used a piece of acetate to cover the green grass inside; grass that I was able to cut using my Cricut as well - this was totally inspired by that green grass glass. The orange frame, orange flower, and orange clip were inspired by the orange glass. I used blue shimmer paper along with a shiny blue brad on the flower - this was inspired by the blue glass. I popped up the yellow picket fence from a Martha Stewart edge punch (one of my favorites) inspired by the yellow glass. I also popped up the snail and added just a little bit of stickles to its shell to add shine. The sentiment is perfect for a garden lover, who I have in mind and makes a perfect Mother's Day card for her :).

Fun times making this card - made easier by Jen's (SFYTT). Thanks for stopping by and Happy Friday!
