One of the things I love about hosting the Inspiration Challenge at SCS is that it keeps me constanly on the look-out for things to inspire design … today at the office, I actually told a co-worker the combination of patterns in her shirt would translate to a great card design.
Tonight my inspiration comes from an unexpected source … a bottle of Sun Bum Sunscreen from Uncle Dan's … seriously, how cute is that yellow monkey face on the wood grain background.

I started with parquet wood grain paper from Studio Calico and added my own bit of yellow fun.

I die cut the elephant silhouette from yellow adhesive felt & then stamped my cute little Hero Arts ellie in brown. I used one of my brown Spectrum Noir markers to color the heart. The banner was die cut from coordinating cardstock and then stamped with a sentiment from Catslife Press … love the combination of upper & lower case letters.
I hope you find some unexpected inspiration this week.
