{PIN}spirational Challenge #28: Photo - Red Jacket With Pink Roses

How do you turn a rustic jean jacket into something sweet & fashionable? Dye it red and embellish with pink fabric roses - Isn't that a wonderful idea?

This week at {PIN}spirational Challenges we challenge you to create something being inspired by this photo.  There is lots to draw from, so I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Our sponsor is Folded Paper, so definitely stop by and share a photo inspired creation with us :)

For my creation, I used this fantastic paper with wood grain on it. Pink rickrack stretches across the card dotted by velvet red bows. To finish the look, I embellished the bows with big bold buttons tied with pink thread.

Romance In The Park

A delightfully drawn couple relax on a park bench - Isn't that just sweet?

To bling this creation up, I covered a chipboard flourish with sparkling blue glitter. I've had these flourishes for a long, long time. They come unaltered. I decided to use them ASAP. I pained & added glitter to a bunch, so don't be surprised if you see a few more projects with these on 'em!
