OLW 132 Inspired by packaging
Posted: March 20, 2013 Filed under: Breezy, CAS, Kate's Alphabet, OLW, Winter Berries 13 Comments
Hopefully this challenge is not a hard one. So many products we buy are beautifully packaged; I am sure you will find inspiration all around your house. Some of the herbal teas I drink come in lovely boxes and I had planned to take inspiration from one of them but the brand I have right now is not so inspiring. After browsing the shower gels and shampoo bottles I settled instead on a tiny piece of packaging my daughter received with a gift a couple of days ago.
I like everything about this little card mount for a pair of earrings. The colours are restful, the layout is balanced and the sentiment bold, but not over powering. Packaging is great inspiration to try something you wouldn’t otherwise. I rarely use white on beige or ivory cardstock but is is very elegant. I would never have thought of adding a tiny bit of pink in the sentiment and nowhere else but it works.

Heather this is beautiful.
Stunning in it’s simplicity Heather. I love the white on top of the leaves – it looks so right, as does the hint of pink.

Love it Heather! I can just see you pokin’ around the cabinets and in everyone’s rooms to find inspiration. And that would just be something that I would do! 🙂 Glad to hear I’m not the only one. Inspiration CAN be found everywhere! Your card is simple beautiful.

Beautiful Heather the way you did the stamping, I not only use the pkg, for inspiration , but will use the the tea bag holder and bag in my art and use the boxes to store things:):) Never throw anything away.. Have a great day..
