Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have a pretty floral print to inspire us!

ART GALLERY
It is funny, but I rarely take time to pull out my embossing powder and embossing gun. I don’t know why since I LOVE the look and fun of embossing! This time I embossed directly on the designer paper!

Stampin’ Details:
-
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Misty Moonlight cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake was dry embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder.
- Some navy Well Suited Twine was wrapped around the Crumb Cake three times, then the panel adhered to the base card.
- The flower from Art Gallery was stamped with Versamark Ink on the 2-3/4 x 4 piece of In Good Taste Designer Paper and embossed with White Embossing Powder.
- The DSP was layered on a 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Thank you from Art Gallery was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink on Basic White cardstock, then punched with the Double Oval Punch. It was layered on the Scallop Oval on the Double Punch from Misty Moonlight cardstock.
- A trio of Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots was added to the center of the flower.
- More navy Well Suited Twine was tied in a bow and added to the stem.

Isn’t that a very different look…a cross between masculine colors and florals! But, it looks like the inspiration piece, right? OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
