Hello friends and happy July! We hope your summer is off to a fabulous start! The Design Team at Joy Clair Designs is excited to share the mood board for this month. Mood boards (also commonly called “inspiration” boards) are a combination of colors, images, textures and patterns that can offer guidance or direction. If you feel like you don’t know where to begin a project, try looking at a mood board and let the creative juices flow. You might just be surprised by the end result!
Let’s take a look at the July 2022 Joy Clair Designs mood board:
This month mood board celebrates all things 4th of July – summer fun in the form of BBQ’s , popsicles, gingham and American flags!
Here is a card created by Design Team member Crystal Komara that was inspired by the colors of this month mood board:
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card was made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I cut a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of the same white cardstock and ran it through my big shot with a stitched leaf embossing folder. I printed out the butterfly from the new You Fill My Day digital stamp set. I printed the butterfly at 65%. I colored the butterfly with Copic markers in various shades of red and blue. I fussy cut the butterfly and adhered it to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I printed the sentiment “you fill my day” from the same digital stamp set. I notched both ends of the sentiment strip and adhered it to the card. I added a couple clear rhinestone drops placed randomly and lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the butterfly for added sparkle.
