Elizabeth posted a fun vintage circus themed "Inspiration Monday" this week, and that theme has been bouncing around in my head this week. When I began working on my layout for today's post, I naturally went to our Inspiration Monday pinterest board for a little jumpstart.
I loved all the bright happy colors, the stars and banners, and the stripes. This particular image jumped out at me:

So it was the jumping off point for this layout- can you see the inspo?
I cut apart the piece of Echo Park striped paper and formed rays out from my picture. I worked hard at being bright & colorful and staying true to my style, without getting too busy looking. Part of the way I did that was by keeping all of the embellishing pulled in close to the picture, including my misting droplets.
My photo was one I originally instagrammed, but I cropped & printed it at 4x6 instead of the standard instagram square. The lovely sparkles on it are actually a digitized bokeh that I made with an iPhone app filter (picfx).
