Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration challenge is a pretty tablescape! I love the soft blue color…it reminded me of Boho Blue!

EVERYDAY DETAILS

I went looking thru my stamps that have flowers in them (only a FEW! lol!) and found this one in the Everyday Details stamp set and combined it with the Countryside Inn Designer Paper

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Boho Blue cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
Three 1-1/4 x 4 strips of Countryside Inn Designer Paper were added to the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock, then added to the base card.
The large circle was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Everyday Details Die. It was stamped with the vase of flowers in Memento Black Ink and colored with Boho Blue, Old Olive and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. Then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The first part of the greeting was inked with the Basic Black Maker and stamped on Boho Blue cardstock, then cut with the smaller circle from Everyday Details Dies. It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of blue 2023-25 Opaque Sparkle Dots were added to the center of the flower and the background.

Love how calming the blue and white color combination looks! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. It’s a pretty Color combination this week!

EVERYDAY DETAILS

If you notice, I added Lemon Lolly Ink to some of the stems in the nest because they reminded me of forsythia branches! For several years, I have had an artificial forsythia grapevine wreath on my front door in the spring and every year the birds raid it to build their nests! I finally had to retire it this year because they had picked at it so bad it had bald spots!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lost Lagoon cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
The 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock and 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock were added to the front of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pecan Pie, then embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder. It was added to the front of the base card.
The swirl pattern from A Little Latte Designer Paper was cut with the Everyday Details rectangle Die and added to a 2-3/4 x 4 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting was stamped with Lost Lagoon Ink towards the top.
The nest was stamped with Pecan Pie Ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, then watercolored with Pecan Pie, Lost Lagoona and Lemon Lolly Inks and Water Painter. It was hand-cut.
Some Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine from the Three-Color Pack was looped several times and added to the front with the nest over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Some Wink of Stella was added to the eggs.
Three vanilla Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots were added to the background.

I think this was a fun way to use these colors! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
