I just love, love, love photo inspiration challenges. I made this card for Stamping Around's SA05 Waltzingmouse Inspiration Challenge. To the right is the fabulously inspiring photo from Anya. It makes me want to have a glorious spring brunch with all the fine china. Actually, it makes me want to hit the flea markets and find lots of shabby chic, mismatched china pieces to add to my collection! For my focal image, I used the Freesia stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms, a sentiment from Studio G, and Memento inks and coordinating markers. I colored some Hero Arts Art Flowers with the Memento markers to get a good match. The background papers are from Basic Grey's Wisteria and Kioshi collections - cut into strips and stitched on, then shabby-ed up and distressed with Distress Ink in milled lavender, antique linen, and dusty concord. I added a little aqua tulle for some extra springy-ness, and to echo the blue ribbon on the package. This challenge was loads of fun. Hope you're having a happy weekend!
