Skipping Stones- Challenge #130

Good morning!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  It's Inspiration Tuesday with Skipping Stones design and we are taking a holiday from our usual sketch challenges this week to try something a bit different, a color challenge.

I took cues from the surf, sand, and those fabulous umbrellas to create the following card: 

On a white panel, I stamped the feather from Victorian Summer is a few different ink colors.  The sentiment, from Sentiment Frames, was stamped in kraft ink.  I mounted the completed panel to a kraft card base, rounded the bottom corner and added a few gems to finish off the card. 

Now it's your turn to create a card inspired by these colors, simply link up your version to the Skipping Stones blog by next Monday night.  One participant will win a free Skipping Stones set of her choice!!!

That's all for me today.  Thank you for stopping by!  Hope your week is off to a great start!

Tuesday Trigger: Chiclectic

Hello friends-

Found a spare moment this afternoon to create a card for this week's Tuesday Trigger challenge that Cath is hosting over Moxie Fab World.

Here is my card:

I stamped bands on cardstock with various background stamps from the stash.  The diamonds and lines and dots are from Papertrey Ink's Bakground Basic Retro and the bottom panel is Harvest Berries stamped in Raspberry Fizz on Orange Zest.

And here is the awesome inspiration photo:

I was inspired by that patterns and colors to create my card.  What struck most about the inspiration photo is how all the different patterns and styles (geometric, toile, modern, ornate) all came together effortlessly to create one chic space.  I tried to capture the feel of the inspiration photo in my card by combining bands of stamped and patterned cardstock to capture a similar look. As a nod to the framed smooch print on the wall  and the ornate bedframe, I stamped a frame and adhered to my card and layered a glittery sticker sentiment over top.

Hope you like my take on this week's trigger- there is still time to play along- just link up your take on the trigger by Sunday night at midnight!

Thanks for stopping by!
