Pinspired Challenge #1

It’s time for the first Pinspired Challenge! The inspirational photo is for you to interpret anyway you want! You can take from the colors, the style or the technique! You can also make any kind of craft you want as well, whether it’s a card, layout or altered item!

 

This first challenge is sponsored by The Alley Way Stamps who are generously offering the winner one stamp set of their choice.

 

Here’s my take on the challenge image:

I wanted to capture the birthday theme, as well as the colors, from the pinspiration. I added a dry embossed background to replicate the polka dots on the cake.

Be sure to head over to the Pinspired Challenges blog to see the creations from the rest of the “Pin Heads” (aka Design Team) and find out the details for playing along. Three runner ups will be chosen and win a “Pin Pal” badge for their blog.
