Hello Stampers~
Happy Friday! Today I'm hosting the Flourishes Blog with an inspiration challenge. I've chosen this photo:
Isn't
that a beautiful bedroom setting? I think there are so many wonderful elements that would work perfectly with Flourishes images.My card uses the Cherry Blossoms stamp set, along with some pretty Cappella patterned paper from Basic Grey. I incorporated many elements from the photo into my card, such as the head-board (a perfect match for Martha Stewart's Modern Garland border punch), dust ruffle, rug, trims, flowers, and soft color palette.
I stamped the images on European Watercolor Paper using Charcoal ink from Palette to keep the color palette soft. To make the ruffle, I simply folded the ivory satin ribbon and glued it down on the backside as I went. I topped off the focal point with a row of pretty pearls and some ivory trim.
The idea for the pretty punched borders came from my dear friend, Dee, who had done something similar on a card she made. I fell in love with it instantly, and filed it away in the "must try" section of my brain. {grin} Thanks, Dee!
Here's a close-up view:
I don't know if you can tell; but I used some Twinkling H2O's on the flowers for a subtle shimmer.
