The Itsy Bitsy Picture Inspiration Challenge

Folks, it's the 15th of the month and time for a brand new challenge here at ItsyBitsy. This time, we have a beautiful picture inspiration for you and we want you to create anything you like as long as you are inspired by this picture. It could be the colours of the picture, the objects in the picture, the layout of the picture or all of the above. Just make sure it's clear what your inspiration was. As always there will be two categories - Jewellery Making and Paper Crafting.


And to get you started, here is some inspiration! I created an easel card with a drawer which I think is a really clever way to present a gift to someone. I've based my design on the colours in the picture and added a lot of flowers too, which is taken from the picture too.


I used the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis border die to create the fantastic edge to the top layer. I also used some paper from the DCWV Lemon Flower stack for that pretty green design.


How do you like my large roomy drawer? Isn't it nice to slip in some jewellery or a gift voucher? I think so. This isn't the first time I've tried an easel card with drawers. You can see my previous project here and to see a video of how to do it, click here.



Rules of the challenge:
  1. For the Paper/ General crafting project, your submission can be a card, box, tag, scrapbook layout, dress, embroidery, crochet work etc - anything as long as it is handmade and

    1. Oh My Goodness, please don't call me Aunty... ha ha... you can use any colours you like but your project must be inspired from this picture in some way and this should be visible. You can mention in your post what part of the picture inspired you.

  8. 'Hi Sunehra, Can you tell me the measurements of this card? I am planning to gift something similar to my husband for his b'day. But my card is pretty small. Yours looks much bigger. Can I get the measurements, if you don't mind? Thanks in advance.
