The theme of the current Inkspirational Challenge is 'Snap', so I decided to go with a camera taking a 'snap'shot.
The camera is die cut with a very old Sizzix die. I made the frame with matt silver card, using the camera die first to get the aperture, then a SB circle die around the aperture to make a frame. The three apertures were covered on the back with a piece of acetate, saved from the packaging of a set of dies, to give the appearance of glass. Behind the lens aperture, I also added a piece of grey card, before attaching the camera to the card with foam tape. To continue the theme of the circle shape of the lens, I used patterned paper from a Dovecraft paper pad, 'Blue Skies' and a Cuttlebug embossing folder, 'Spots and Dots'. The sentiment is computer generated.
I am joining in the following challenges:

love it Liz, carrying on the circular shape of the camera aperture a great idea.
