Inspired by Pinterest - Gayatri's Challenge

The super talented Gayatri Murali has a new Inspired by Pinterest challenge on her blog and I decided to play along.  I made cards for two of her other challenges but can't seem to find them to photograph ... : ( Sorry, Gayatri!!

I found a sketch of a camera online to use as my digital image.  Check our her site with the cutest mouse pointer in the shape of a moustache!!.  I copied the image and made it into a digital paper in Word by resizing it and changing the contrast and brightness on every second camera.  I then printed it onto card stock to use for my card.

 I swiped Distress Ink's Antique Linen ink over the white card stock to change the background colour.  I then adhered it to a rustic cream card base.  I cut out Alphabet Block letters in rustic cream and painstakingly adhered them with foam dots.  All done!

I loved the image so much I made one more card with a larger printed version.  A little fussy cutting of the camera with some good snips made simple work of this!  I stamped Say Cheese with Paper Smooches' Alpha Dots stamps.  I can't get enough alpha stamps - they are so perfect for creating your own cusomized sentiments.  Great for stamping names too!

 I used my new Wplus9 chevron impression plate over top after stamping the sentiment and adhered the Hawaiian Shores card front onto a white card base.  I then stuck the camera image that I had cut out with some foam dots to the front.  Some Glossy Accents on top to add a little shine and voilà!

 Thanks for inspiring me to create, Gayatri.  Your cards are always so gorgeous. <3
