The amazing photo Steph has chosen for us at this fortnight's For Your Inspiration Challenge, is a night-time view of Cologne Cathedral -love the turquoise and gold!
and here is my take on the photo - a very clean and simple design, inspired by the architecture and the colours.
FYI35WMK.jpg)
Recipe:
Cream cardstock.
My Minds Eye, Stella Rose spotty papers.
A paper Crimper was used on the ovals to replicate the lines on the bridge.
It's the first time I've used this crafting tool for years! What ancient craft tool have YOU got hidden away, unloved and unused? I would love to know!
I used two sizes of Nestie Ovals, and the Lacy Squares die.
Corner rounder punch.
The banner was cut by hand, sentiment an old favourite from Hero Arts.
Tim Holtz brads and Distress Inks to finish.
**************
Have a great weekend -
Love and Hugs ~

I wish I had a crimper sometimes! I love how your card mirrors the photo! :-)
Morning Sylvia..
This is a perfect representation of that photo..... and yes, you've caught the colour and texture of the bridge perfectly in your crimping. And yes.... I have a crimper hidden away!!! I also have lots of other 'have to haves' which at the time seemed so needed, but remain at the back of the cupboard...... LOL!

You've really got the spirit and design of the photo in your card. It's a lovely interpretation. Yes - I have a crimper - inherited from my sister and keep forgetting about it. Perhaps I should put it on my desk instead of at the back of a drawer. I may then get to use it sometime.

Hi Sylvia,
I love your interpretation of the photo...your LO looks brilliant! A fabulous card!
Yes, I've had a crimper for years. I think they were the only way to get some texture on your card before they brought out the wonderful embossing folders x
Stunning interpretation of the inspirational photo Sylvia - LOVE your card.
I have a crimper (somewhere) and also a crop-a-dile and quick kutz squeeze that haven't seen the light of day for years!!!

I love the clever way you have combined all the elements of that photo very very clever Sylvia! i love it.
I have a crimper and love the effects you can get with it, I just forget to use it, like I forget to use ribbon and embossing etc LOL
By crimping the spotted paper the effect is of a much more complicated embossing effect, at least in your photo it looks that way.

The reflection of the shapes from the photo are fantastic! I love the papers and textures. Amazing job!
Sylvia just love your take on the photograph...and yes I still have a crimper tucked away as Sasha says its all we had years ago to create texture on our cards.. Your card is very creative.

Stunning card Sylvia, it reflects the photo perfectly. Love the texture with the crimper - yes, I have one too, couldn't tell you the last time I used it but I do know where it is! Lol! xx

Beautiful card Sylvia, you really have captured the essence of the photograph and I love your interpretation. Lots of subtle colouring and textures, well done my friend, hugs Gay xxx
p.s My unused tool is a circle cutter bought before I had my Spellbinder circles :0)
I love the way you've made this card - very clever! I've never had a crimper but I do wish I did sometimes! I've still got all my old parchment craft tools which are very useful for all sorts of jobs, except parchment craft which I would now avoid like the plague!
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your lovely comment.
