The StampTV CSS Design Team is having an Inspiration blog hop and we're hoping you'll play along with us.
If you came here from the fabulously talented Brenda (who gave us this inspiration), then you're in the right place. If not, you'll want to go back to the hop beginning so you don't miss one post because if you complete the hop and leave a comment on each post, you'll be entered in the drawing on Tuesday morning (May 15), when we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!
Brenda's fantastic inspiration
Here is my card
I love texture and what I got from the inspiration photo is the texture. My eye immediately went to the brick wall, the flowers and the wicker basket. I tried to pull them all into my project. I thought the quilt added such a quaint comfort to this image so I placed my basket on it.
The stamps I used were Melanie Muenchinger's "Spring Basket". The beautiful dp, which created the "quilt" and basket liner, in my project are from the new StampTV Kit "Petals and Wings". The brick wall was made with a Sizzix ef that I first inked with Vivid "Tea Rose" ink pad before running it through the embossing machine. I then sponged the panel with DI "forest moss" and "pumice stone" to age it. The flowers and basket were colored with Copic markers. All card stock is Gina K Pure Luxury white. The corner scrolls were cut with a die and sponged with DI "forest moss". The basket, liner and flowers were all popped with dimensionals.
Thank you for stopping by. Your next stop is over to the blog of the super talented Geri (Brenda's mom) - I know she's going to wow you with her project. Before you go, don't forget to leave a comment - I'd LOVE IT if someone from my comments won the goodie bag!!! Good luck!

Great colors. I love the quilt and the brick wall. Great inspiration.
Love that brick wall and the quilt. Just love seeing everyone's different "take" on the same inspiration photo.
Cheri, that was the first thing that caught my eye; your quilt. Good way to use up scraps and make a beautiful card at the same time.
I love, love, LOVE your flowers and the colors you chose! Your card is so cheery.
Your card is just beautiful.
Blessings,
Kat (Kathleen)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO I like your card also. When I first saw the basket I wondered whose stamp set it was from. The way you colored it I did not recognize Mel's basket - neat idea, you gave it an aged look. That quilt paper is a wonderful addition. And then your brick wall...WOW!! Now I know there are at least 2 brick wall EF's out there - so now I neeeeeeeed to look for one of them...Thanks for sharing your talent.

Cheri, your card is beautiful. I love the flowers and the basket. The Spring Basket stamp set is one of my favorites. The brick wall is amazing -- looks authentic.
Beautiful creation! I, like many others, didn't even
'see' a brick wall. Guess I'd have to be hit by one first LOL. Love Mel's baskets and flowers - lovely design and coloring!
love the brick
Nice job on this card. The texture of the brick wall adds a very nice touch as does the quilt!!
Lovely.
Hi Cheri,
Your brick wall is great and really adds heaps of texture to the picture.

Love the brick wall!Beautiful card!! Happy Mother's Day, my friend!!
I'm parroting what others have said, I know, but this is a beautiful card and I love the appearance of your brick wall. I'm not sure I understand how you got the moss green in the grout area but will restudy this after the hop. TFS
Love the colors you chose. Beautiful card, and a good job!!
I love your card. It is so cheery looking. It always amazes me how the DT comes up with so much variety from the same picture.
Love the colours of your brick wall - so bright and cheerful with those gorgeous flowers in the basket. Certainly lovely with winter coming on her in Oz.
It would be AWSOME if someone won the goodies especially when it is drawn on YOUR BIRTHDAY!!
What a great card! I love the corners you came up with, too.
The brick is darling.
Beautiful card! love the flowers
Great use of the flowers on the basket. Lots of interest thruout.
Love the Brick wall - very realistic. The flowers in the basket and quilt in the background complete the picture very nicely. TFS.
Lovely flowers and I love the basket liner paer.
What a great take on this- the brick and wicker, offset by the soft colors. Beautiful card :)
Love the way you have replicated the wall - lovely fresh colours too.
