Just Add a Photo Inspiration

It is incredible how quickly the night and morning temperatures have dropped - it is only the first week of Autumn and yet the change of Season seems definite.  I hope it is the same for those waiting for Spring :-)

This week at Just Add Ink we have a wonderful Inspiration Photo Challenge for you chosen by Nikki. Aren't they just just fabulous :-) From the photos below you can choose as much as you like to include in your project and the Team have come up with some awesome ideas to inspire you so I hope you can pop on over and have a look :-)

For me there is a lot to love about these photos : a fabulous colour combo and I just adore the butterflies arriving over the pool of water.

So in theory this should have been an easy challenge for me but in actual fact it wasn't - I found I was wanting to include all the elements - particularly the beautifull butterfly, and the silver circles. But it's just this sort of challenge we all love really isn't - one that stretches us a little out of our comfort zone:-)

And so initially  I decided to make a circle Easel card -  silver and white with a pink/black butterfly 

and included the lovely Silver Vellum as a background….

 And although the butterfly is the hero as it is supposed to be…

it all looked a little washed out to me.

So I changed it up a bit…

And pulled it together  - literally :-0 - into a stand up circle card.

I think I like this better but what about you?
