Inspired by Nature Sideways

If any of you were to my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website a few months ago, you already saw the card in the front. Well, I liked it so much I decided to see what it looked like turned on its' side. I like the landscape version that Stampin' Up! designed more, but it was fun to try!

Both cards are done with Kiwi Kiss Textured Card Stock. Urban Garden Designer Series Paper was embossed with white embossing powder using the Inspired by Nature flower. A torn strip of Pacific Point with a tiny strip of Baja Breeze was layered on top of the background paper. The verse was stamped in Pacific Point on a small piece of Whisper White, the two right corners were rounded, then a piece of 5/8" grosgrain ribbon was attached to the left side of the verse with a Filigree brad.

Organic Grace Meets KWernerDesign Color Challenge

I had so much fun doing Kristina Werner's Color Challenge a few weeks ago that I've been wanting to try another. I'm finding that doing a challenge helps get me out of a rut, and I definately get in those, stamping and otherwise! LOL! The above card is the one I like the best, but it's not at all what I had in mind to start out with... Well, the stamp set is, but not the layout or the balance of colors. I wanted to keep with the botanical inspiration of this week's challenge:

I was originally thinking a long card... maybe with three images punched out. I didn't like the way that was looking and ended up with the card above. Then I decided to still try to make use of the pieces I started out with, so I did this second card:

It turned out okay, I think, but I like the top one better. What do you think?


Oh, so the sets I used are Organic Grace (Hostess set), Inspired by Nature (verse on the first card), and Dreams Du Jour for the verse on the second. I'm listening to New Age music today and feeling very philosophical I guess. The ink colors are Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, and So Saffron. Both cards start out with a Bravo Burgundy base and are layered with Old Olive and then Confettii Cream.


Happy Stamping!

Inspired by Nature from the Convention

This was one of the cards we did at this year's convention.

The card is a 3"x6" card of Chocolate Chip with Kiwi Kiss as the front panel and a Large Oval punched from Very Vanilla. The grass from Inspired by Nature was stamped with Versamark and then the flowers stamped in Chocolate Chip over that. The verse is also stamped in Chocolate Chip. Chocolate Chip Taffeta ribbon is attached through a hole punched in the oval.

Happy Stamping!
