Inspiration Challenge #29 from Beate

Published by Makeesha at 7:36 am under Cards, Splitcoast & Beate’s Challenges

Hey there,

I am back quickly to show you the card I put togehter for Beate’s Inpsiration challenge this week. You can see check out Beate’s challenges weekly on a Tuesday at www.beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com

Here is the Inspiration image to work with:

And this is what I came up with:

Here I started with Kraft cardstock for the base, which I have stamped with the Canvas background stamp with Sahara Sand ink pad. I did this to resemble the wicker look of the bed and floor mat. I have then added a strip if Bayou blue cardstock, that I have also mounted with some Vanilla cardstock, which I stamped the Stem sillhouettes stamp set with Bayou, and Olive ink…..it was nice to dig that out! I so miss that stamp set. I have then roughed up the edges with my distresser.

I then added the large white flower from the Pretties kit. I have coloured the smaller flower with a sponge dauber, and my Bayou stamp pad, lastly adding a large cream pearl in the centre. To finish it off, I have added two photo corner punches of Bayou, and Olive cardstock, which I have also added 3 antique brass brads brads to each. The greeting is from the Stem Silhouettes stamp set as well, and I have punched it out with the word window punch and mounted it with dimensionals.

Here is a close up:

Thanks Beate for another Inspiration Challenge……I look forward to next weeks!!!

Love Keesh
