OCL Challenge #65 ... Photo Inspiration

This has to be the yummiest photo I've seen in a long time & perfect for the unseasonably hot weather we've been having in Northern Indiana the last few days.    It's time for the weekly OCL Challenge and this week it's a photo inspiration challenge ~ which means you can do pretty much anything as long as the photo inspired your project {and you use Our Craft Lounge stamps}.

 

So have you ever planned out a card and it came out just the way you wanted it to... yea, well that didn't happen this time ~ LOL!   I'm not sure if you can see any part of the inspiration photo in my project, but it really didn't end up where I had hoped. I really wanted to focus on something very summery & I had this super cute paper from Fancy Pants called Beach Babe.  The colors were perfect for this photo.   I paired it up with the Whale of a Tale set and paper pieced the whale and the bottom of the mermaid.   I kind of like that she is riding a wave ~ she's cute.

OK ~ your turn to play along!  You have all week, just add your link to the OCL Blog for your chance to win a set of your choice!
