WELCOME to another StampTV CSS Alumni blog hop. If you've arrived from the very talented Carolina's blog, then you're in the right place. If not, you're invited to hop from the beginning of the hop so you don't miss a single inspiration project.
Our inspiration is this clip from Pier 1 Imports.
I fell so in love with this color palette and once I got started I had a difficult time moving on to other projects. Beside the colors, I was drawn to the textures and those fabulous patterns.
Here are my cards.
I wanted to keep this card CAS and focus on those diamond shapes in the bedspread, the headboard and on the seat at the end of the bed.
The stamps are from the "Whimsical Wishes" set by Theresa Momber.
And here's my second card -
My inspiration for this card, again was the diamond pattern, however, if you look closely on the left side (facing us) of the bed, you'll see a vase with peacock feathers in it. I love the stamp set by Asela Hopkins "Pretty as a Peacock", so I used a stamp from that set to create dp for the layered cs as well as on the darker blue embossed label. I used Distress Inks stain in "Faded Jeans" (love how that came out) on PL White to created the color of the label before I hand embossed it with my Score Buddy and cut it with Spellbinder Labels 14. The sentiment label is made using the Lovely Labels 2 set.
Thanks for stopping by, and you're invited to join us - create your own card from this inspiration and post it to the forum and your gallery so we too can enjoy your creations.
Now hop on over to the very talented Deb Felts' blog where she's waiting to show you her fabulous creation.
