When looking at the photo, I noticed the different colors, the silver insect pegs, the hanging dresses, the cubbies,and all the various kid things stuffed in. I can relate to a lot in that photo--cubbies with random kid apparel and toys shoved in, pretty princess dresses, but I do wish I had a beautiful wall like that!
I just couldn't help thinking of my kids when making this card, so "your color my world" is the perfect sentiment -- as they sure do add color, and meaning to my life!
I used a butterfly, which is seen in the inspiration photo, and embossed them several times with silver embossing powder, and then colored with them with Copic markers. The Just a Ticket die mimics the cubbies and provides a landing spot for my butterflies, which I embossed into the white cardstock. In contrast to the photo, I left my background white so the butterflies could shine.
Thanks for taking a look!

l-o-v-e the embossed ticket strip behind those butterflies! They do fit perfectly into their "little cubbies" - great job!
cute card!!
This is just so clever and beautiful. I never would have thought to use that just the ticket die, but it is perfect. (That die is one of my fave's--so fun to see another use for it). Great take on the inspiration photo.
Nice interpretation. Clever use of the ticket die. All together a very lovely card.
I too love that embossed ticket die -- very smart!!!
