Today started out with just a card sketch challenge from
Mojo Monday (#294) and turned into a little bit more.
The sketch has some elements that I omitted or changed. The square panel was made a little bigger to fit the dress and the trim was eliminated to keep it cleaner.
The embellishment was switched out for the sentiment. I went with "just for you" since I wanted to use this for a teacher gift for my son's teacher.
For the card, I used both dresses from the Dress Up Framelit. The strapless dress was done with DSP and the other dress was used to make the jacket.
Once I started the card, I just could not stop. Since I have been thinking about end of year gifts, I altered a container to hold some treats. Since having surgery I have been on a liquid diet, so I have been using a lot of protein powder. This container is the can that held the powder.
I used the same oval and dress to dress up the can. The brads and paper were a matched set, so I thought it would be nice touch to dress this one up with a fancy belt.
Since the paper had butterflies on it I just had to add a few to the top. I kept it simple since it may be man handled if the container is opened and closed often.
Overall, I am very happy with the set. Sometimes it is surprising to me how a small project can lead to even greater inspiration. A card sketch can lead to a full gift set. Where do you find inspiration for your projects?
