INSPIRATION

– day –

During a search for some birdie inspiration for stamp design (yep, I really want to create a bird inspired stamp – one of my favorite stamp themes), I found this lovely design seeds inspiration.

darling right?

I adore plump little birdies.

Now most often design seeds photos are used for color combos.

Um, yeah, I’m weird. I wasn’t so inspired by the colors but more by the photo.

This is what I came up with.

As you can see, I used different colors, but they are similar. I just wanted some darker tones.

I thought I would point out the inspiration I found in this photo. I love how you can find so many different ideas just from one little photo.

1. BIRDIE – as you know, I was on the search for a bird in the first place. This bird from live what you love is one of my all time faves.

2. HEARTS AND LOVE – The heart was a big inspiration. I knew I wanted it as a cut out and it is a bit of a reoccurring theme. And the word ‘LOVE’ had to be included. The sentiment from all hearts and love was perfect.

3. BOKEH BACKGROUND – I recreated the bokeh background by using hearts of old. I layered it over some patterned paper to help with the illusion.
