IM33 – Colorful Seasons

 

Today’s inspiration challenge is very interesting collection of pottery.  I could see lots of geometric designs and leaves and I love the brown/rust colors.  I went with a little of everything on my card using Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers Thinlits!

Here’s what I came up with:

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Early Espresso cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 3/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Neutrals Designer Paper was added to the left side of the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock, then adhered to the base card.
• The open leaf pattern from Colorful Seasons was stamped twice with Early Espresso Ink in the background on the Whisper White layer.
• An open leaf was cut from Cajun Craze cardstock with the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, then the solid leaf cut from Early Espresso cardstock.  Both were adhered together with a Mini Glue Dot.
• Some natural Nature’s Twine was wrapped around the stems and tied in a bow.  The leaves were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The greeting from Colorful Seasons stamp set was stamped with Cajun Craze above the leaves.

 

 

That’s it!  I think it is pretty close to the inspiration photo, don’t you?  Go check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Challenge this week over on Create with Connie and Mary!
