I love the inspiration pics; especially the colors. They reminded me of the almost ice cream colors of houses on Battery row in Charleston, S.C. My sis I went there a few years back and I really loved it. Also, I had so much fun w/ the photo and sketch card yesterday, I thought I'd try it again.
I scanned a couple of photos, then did some major color alteration on them. I really wanted to get an almost deco look to the Victorian row houses. This was just printed on regular paper. I think if I do this again I'll put it on photo paper.
So, I printed it and built the card around it. The lamp post (Beeswax) was stamped and colored, cut out and attached to blue c/s and cut around the right edge.
The row houses (Clearsnap rollagraph) were stamped and colored w/ markers as was the hibiscus (Sonlight). These make up my horizontal and vertical bands of the sketch. The word Charleston was handwritten. TFL
