Inspired By...

Good Saturday everyone!  I'm looking forward to a weekend off work (which means I can steal some time to stamp) and hope you will be able to find some crafty time as well and join us at Inspired By All The Little Things!  Leigh has a great inspiration photo for us!  I was inspired by the window panes, green/white/brown color combo and, of course, the flower pots.

Here is what I came up with...



I knew right away I wanted to use WPlus9's Fresh Cut Containers stamp/die set, so began with watercoloring with Mijello Mission paints on Ranger WC cardstock for the flower pots.  I stamped the greenery with 4 different shades of green dye inks (all by WPlus9) and felt they needed a wee pop of color, so added a few florals into the mix.  The frames are from Paper Smooches' Fancy Frames Icons die set and the sentiment is from their Fancy Frames stamp set.  The card base is Stone CS by Reverse Confetti.  It looks pretty simple but will have to admit, it took a good bit of time to die cut, stamp and arrange all the greenery!  

We're happy to announce that Lindsey Larsen of Occasional Crafting is our guest designer for this challenge! Be sure to stop by her blog and say hello.

Enjoy your weekend and hope to see you in the gallery!
