I was so happy to see that the inspiration for this week is one of my old hang-outs ... Sundance! This is my first inspiration challenge so ... .
I choose this funky Bubble Gum Lamp as my inspiration. http://www.sundancecatalog.com/produ...ortby=ourPicks
I tried to somewhat match the colors with my scrap cardstock. I wanted to add the antique brass look of the lamp base, so I used a flat finish, brassy, metallic paper as a second layer for my card front (when I give it away I will probably mount it on black.) I distressed the edges and inked it up. I had a blast making it and I like the fun, funky look of it! It "spoke" birthday to me!
