Since the inspiration picture was posted early, I was able to join the PaperTreyInk January Blog Hop.
Here is the inspiration piece ... a gorgeous design by Rex Ray.
I took inspiration from the colors, rounded shapes, and wood grain texture. I thought the balloons in the Party Time Die were reminiscent of the rounded block background. I die cut it from orange cardstock and then backed it with light woodgrain cardstock.
I paper pieced several of the balloons from coordinating cardstock to imitate the feel of the artwork. I added some designer paper, which I thought finished the design well. I stamped the sentiment from the Stylish Sentiments Birthday Stamp set in a light tan to pull int he lighter vertical element in the center of the art work. The final touch was a little sequin sparkle.
Love how you used the wood grain texture and the fun balloons! Great take on the inspiration piece.
