The Challenge 69-You Add Color to My Life

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge! *** 


The Challenge is back with a new challenge!  Next up in our challenge rotation is a photo inspiration challenge.   I took my inspiration from both the quilt's heart design and rainbow-like color scheme.

You Add Color to My Life card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from My Favorite ThingsThe layout for my design comes from the current sketch at Sunday Stamps.  I replaced the round shape on the large stitched fishtail flag panel with a heart-shaped opening.  The negative space is filled in with a rainbow striped heart made from various cardstock scraps.  I love when I can use up some scraps! 

I used foam tape to adhere the stitched fishtail flag panel to a pale gray stitched rectangle die cut.  The "you add color to my life" sentiment from the My Favorite Things Stay Tuned stamp set was stamped just beneath the flag in darker gray pigment ink.  I adhered the finished panel to a gray card base.

Check out what the rest of the talented team at The Challenge has created based on this week's inspiration photo.  Here's where to find them:
