CKC BLOG HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Counterfeit kit challenge blog hop!  If you have come from Karen's blog your on the right track.  If you would like to follow along then return to CKC and play along on the hop.
Our challenge for the blog was to choose a manufacturer and create a project using something that inspires you.  Well i choose my most favorite manufacturer which is IMAGININCE.  I love most of their papers.  I find them fun, bright and cheerful.  They seem to be great for scrapbooking or card making for kids.
So here is my inspiration from Imaginince.  I found it bright and cheerful but most of all different.
.

What gave me the inspiration was how cute it looked.  So i decided to make two cards from my may kit.  The two cards are for my daughter's preschool.  I felt they they could use a little something for putting up with all those three/four year old running around, hype,whining children.  They do an excellent job of tiring out my four year old, so i decided they need a reward.


 

I love the look of the twirled paper.  It gives the card some dimension and adds a lot of  color.







I used my texture boutique and used a circle embossing plate on the front of the card.i then used paper that had bands of look alike stitching on it and cut small lengths of it for twirling.  I drew on the gold stiching lines and added  my embellishments.
So hop on over to Glinda razzledscrapper and see what manufacturer gave her inspiration.

    neat touch to use the stitching paper I like the way the double sided swirls give colour and texture without too much bulk.
