When I looked at this month's inspiration picture, nothing came to me. No creative juices flowed, no ideas generated in my brain. I walked away, came back and took a closer look and picked out the obvious things - red, brown, cream, circles, stitched lines. After all, we're supposed to be getting inspiration from the photo, not replicating it!
On a stitched piece of Vintage Cream cardstock, I stamped overlapped circles in Pure Poppy ink, and then stamped a mirror image of them in Kraft ink. The sentiment is stamped in Dark Chocolate ink on a stitched circle, stacked 4 times for just a touch of dimension.
I adhered the panel to a Kraft card base impressed with woodgrain. Since this is more masculine looking, I added jute around the top of the card.

ReplyDeleteYour card ties in beautifully with the inspiration photo, Lainey! You did a fabulous job with this challenge, and I love the detail of the sentiment being placed on that small stitched circle.
ReplyDeleteTotally fun and free, Lainey. Perfect little stitched sentiment!
