IMT: Inspired By Design

Out of Sorts
A journal page inspired by design.

Finding inspiration in a magazine: I was drawn to the spread shown below which I found in a page from a fashion magazine. I was particularly inspired by the red background with pale yellow polka dots which I emulated in the journal page above using paint and stamps.

    I totally love your idea and artwork. It has never occured to me to be inspired from a fashion design page. But that’s why I enjoy this challenge blog. Brava!

    Thank YOU guys for providing this forum for us all to connect. Perhaps making a manifestation board could be a challenge for Inspire Me Thursday?
