Art Inspiration

I tend to gather inspiration for my layouts from many different sources. Sometimes it's from a sketch or new patterned papers, and other times it's from nature in general. Today is challenge day at Citrus Tree Studio. I had the pleasure of issuing the Art Inspiration Challenge this month and when I saw the following print I saw so many possibilities for layout design. Here is the print I used from Susan Zulauf:


For my layout I used the same white background with the blue square base. I then created my own sunshine shape using coordinating patterned paper and machine stitching on random rays. You may recognize the photo as it is the same one as my blog header but it just seemed to go with this layout theme the best.
