Good morning!
I wanted to share a card I made over the weekend. This was just for fun, (isn't all stamping?)...but here I mean there were no challenges or deadlines involved.
This large bag was purchased at Barnes & Noble last year around Christmas. I was drawn to the colors and design, and it inspired this card. Today's card was taken from the side of the bag, the beautiful crisp white damask print set against the rich cranberry...ooh love!!
I used the Friends 24-7 for my card, taking the damask and flower and white embossing over PTI's scarlet background paper. The bird was stamped in scarlet ink, and the SU! large Very Vintage wheel rolled across the bottom portion. A simple pearl and taffeta ribbon adornment, and there you have it!
I am always finding inspiration in different places, where do you find your stamping inspiration?
Traci, your card and matching bag are adorable. I sometimes find my inspiration through advertising hard copy. I'm a postmaster and some of the "junk mail" catches my eye and then I run home and stamp at noon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I have often found inspiration from my students clothing, school bags and lunch bags! while they are working I'm writing down color combos or pattern ideas!
ReplyDeletewow...you were truly inspired on this natural beauty...love the skewed placement of the image...really catches the eye...a beauty, Traci

I am having a hard time finding inspiration these days.. I am kind of burnt out..THIS is wonderful.. I love the deep rich colors. What a great match to that bag.. You rocked this one.. Super job Traci..
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous card and it goes perfectly with this bag. I think I might have to CASE this card. The little pearls look just right too.
ReplyDeleteLovely inspiration piece, gorgeous final project. I especially like all of the little pearls along that punched edge. Thanks for sharing =)
