For Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge today, we have this beautiful Indian bride photo. She is wearing a bridal sari, customary for an Indian wedding. Take a look at all the colors, texture, the shimmer of the fabric, beading, and the patterns. Our challenge: Use this photo for our inspiration! Take what speaks to you in the photo and bring it to life in your creation!

I chose to use the colors in the photo for my inspiration and create a Christmas card. The focal point is from a page in my Crafty Secrets Christmas Images & Journal Notes. This is just the top portion of the page. The pad contains 32 pages, with the ability to use each page for two cards! That would make 64! Quick, simple, and oh so needed when creating holiday cards!

Using my Krylon gold leafing pen, not only did I edge my card front focal point & layers, I decided to carry it to the card inside! After stamping my sentiment (Clearly Wordsworth by RubberSoul Set; Classic Christmas), I cut out and leafed the edging. Card complete!
We hope you play along with us this week! If you upload your creation to a public forum, please use keyword, ssnotime158 so we can take a peek! Remember to upload over on Sharon's blog with Mr Linky too! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'm trying to get back into the swing of life again! I have a darling wall decor piece to share with you tomorrow! See you then and take good care!

What a fun challenge! Love your card Barb, a beautiful Christmas design!
WoW, this is stunning, Barb!! LOVE how you incorporated the colors and texture of the inspiration photo into this gorgeous holiday card! Gorgeous!
Hope you're doing well ... have a great weekend!
How Beautiful this is. The layers and textures along with the bow make and awesome card!
Gorgeous, Barb! I love that little scene behind the sentiment! Love your interpretation of the inspiration piece!
Just gorgeous, what a beautiful ribbon!
Chrissie
I think your card captures the colors of the sari the best, but I have a question. It looks like your front sentiment covers up some houses, or village or something. I want to lift up the sentiment section and see what is under it. Am I right in what I saw? Beautiful card and bow anyway!
Happy hugs, Martha
