HOC C&S Inspiration Photo "may all your WISHES come true!

House of Cards this week has an Inspiration Challenge.

When I look at this picture I not only see the colours I can almost picture the special occasion going on at the table.  Would it be a Birthday Celebration? a Romantic Dinner for 2? or a Special question being asked?  That was my inspiration for the card.

I started with my trusty Post-it notes and created a mask to run my Very Vintage wheel through. Then I sponged the background before removing the mask. 

Next my trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig to the rescue and I stamped the "wishes" through the sponged area. Again with my jig I reinked only the smaller sayings and aligned them at the top and bottom of the sponges area. Then just in case that Special question was asked I added a little touch of bling!

What do you see when you look at the inspiration photo.  Colours or .....  Show us what has inspired you about this photo.  Then make sure that you share it with us over at House of Cards.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.

TST #47

This week on Try Stampin on Tuesday's the challenge was very similar to the card I had just made for a co-worker, so I decided to repeat it to fit the sketch challenge background.  

Using Whisper White as the base of the card I scored it at 2 1/8 from either side to make a centre opening card.  

Cherry Cobbler was the accent colour used along with Love Letter DSP from my MDS program to make the rosette.  I love how you can print your own DSP's with this program.   Some say that the colours are not true to form unless you have a good printer, but really unless you know exactly what the original looked like who would really know! I have an Hp and it works just great for me.  Daisies #2 die was used again to make an accent on top of the rosette, and birthday wishes were stamped using the Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set. 

Very Vintage wheel was used on a piece of Whisper White and cut to size for the left side panel.

Don't forget you envelops.  They are a very important part of your card as well!

Hope you enjoy!
