This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge is to be inspired by the designs from a fabulous Toronto company, Espe. I absolutely adore their color combinations and designs.
I chose this LuLu Long Wallet for my inspiration. I loved the tall layout, layered butterfly, and butterfly trail.
I started by trying to use my Silhouette to cut flourishes, but I'm still struggling to figure out the right mix to get it to cut through heavier cardstock (I tried having it cut the image twice, but still no luck yet). After quite a bit of frustration, I decided to see what else might work for my design.
I found these lovely Fancy Pants Flourishes in my stash, so I let them determine the color palette for my card.
I added the stamped "hope" sentiment in Chestnut Roan. The butterfly is a scrap of Memory Box DP on top of another chocolate butterfly. I free-handed the punched trail. If I created this card again, I would have cut a scrap piece of cardstock in the shape I wanted my punched train, and then used it as a template. However, I love the free-hand design.
Hope you find inspiration.
Oh my, gorgeous!! Really love your take on the inspiration, love the double layered butterflies…at first I thought it was two different projects…hehe!!
How pretty! Great challenge.
That is such a cute card! I can totally see how you were inspired by that wallet. Its so cute! I’ve never seen that company before. Neat stuff.
