Have you ever been inspired by NAIL ART in your paper crafting creations? I would have never thought of that until today. On Splitcoaststamper.com today, the Inspiration Challenge, IC531, is to view this NAIL ART Pinterest board, select a photo that inspires you, and create paper art.
There are so many photos of beautiful nail art that inspired me, and it was difficult to pick just one. However, I chose this one as my focal point for my card share today.
The nail art inspired me to create this Happy Birthday Card. Please share with me how you think I did with the inspiration!
When I saw the photo of the nail art above, I knew right away how I would create my card. The Stampin’ Up! (SU) Botanical Builder Framelits immediately came to mind. Therefore, the floral elements you see on the card were created with the Framelits. To create more realistic 3D floral elements, I used the Sizzix Susan’s Garden Tool Kit. (If interested in learning about this kit, here is a YouTube video about the kit, and here is a YouTube video that shows how to use it.)
Did you notice the specks of turquoise on the nails in the above nail-art photo? To incorporate that color on my first card layer, I cut a heart frame, laid it onto the SU Very Vanilla Card Stock, and sponged around it with SU Tempting Turquoise Ink. Afterwards, I adhered the floral pieces onto the card stock and added SU Basic Pearls in the center of each flower.
You can see that I used the largest leaf framelit on the inside of the card in the above photo. I hope you enjoy my beautiful card as much as I did making it!
