If you are ever hurting for inspiration, participate in challenges! I am quite addicted to them. You can find challenges on SplitCoastStampers (I prefer the Clean and Simple card challenges, myself). Stamping 411 is a blog I recently found with several challenges per week. Diva Coffee Break Designs is another blog with great challenges. And these are only a few - which is enough to keep one busy, but you may find others out there that suit you better!
This card is what I made in response to this past weeks challenges on Stamping 411 - a sketch (layout) challenge AND the color challenge. It has a great vintage feel (vintage is the current trend)!
Supplies:
Stamps: Vintage Labels (this was from 2010 Sale-A-Bration )
Ink: Perfect Plum, Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette (sponged onto the edges of the oval -- I don't have a Blushing Bride ink pad)
Paper: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, Blushing Bride
Tools: Coluzzle Cutting System (could have used Wide Oval punch), Big Shot, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Scallop Edge punch
Embellishments: Antique Brad
Ooh that sentiment is the perfect match for the Elegant Lines ef!! Love the sweet colors too!
