Have you ever seen a piece of clothing and thought, "That would make a cute card?" Well, I bought this shirt a few months ago and have been wondering how I could make a card that looks like it. When I received CTMH's September Stamp of the Month, I knew that it was the perfect stamp set to help me create a card to match my shirt. LOL!
Here is what I came up with. I used CTMH's Cocoa and Crystal Blue cardstock along with White, Crystal Blue (retired), and Seafoam (retired) Embossing Powder. (The blue and green flowers look a little faded in the photo. They are actually much more vibrant in real life.) The card is simple, but I kind of like the way it turned out. I may make a few more using different flowers from the set. I think this may be one of my favorite stamp sets of all time!
Thanks for the comment you left on my blog. It's great to have you "around" again. I know you've been busy. About the inspiration, it's hard to believe I inspire you. Your card is breathtaking. I love the colors. You are SO creative, and yes, you inspire me, too! TFS.
ReplyDeleteLisa, this is awesome! It is funny how I see home decor and clothing as potential card or scrapbook patterns. I was sitting by people at convention and naming stamp sets their shirt and purses looked like.
ReplyDeleteLove your card! It is one of my new favorite sets too.
Just BEAUTIFUL!!! I adore those colors!!! You are SO very talented!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a fantastic interpretation of the clothing! LOVE the card!
ReplyDeleteI'll add to the lovefest and say once again...you inspire me so much! I just wish I could ACT on the inspiration right now. Alas my bum ankle is making me wait impatiently...but I'm gathering LOTS of inspiration for when I can venture out to my craft room again. Ü
Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow, this is an absolutely beautiful card! I see things all the time, whether it be color combo or design, that I think would make a great card.
