IM17 – Ribbon of Courage

By | 2 Comments

It’s time for Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!!  The inspiration photo this time seems to celebrate spring!  I love the abstract background with the fresh looking daisies!

I went with a daisy “look” and rather than using the actual Daisy Punch, I used the Ribbon of Courage flower for a more abstract look.

Ribbon of Courage Daisies

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Dapper Denim cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White cardstock was watercolored with Dapper Denim Ink using an AquaPainter.
  • A 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Birthday Memories Designer Paper was added on front, with a 1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Dapper Denim running down the side.
  • Three flowers were cut from Whisper White with the Support Ribbon Framelits and then 1/2″ circles of Crushed Curry cardstock added in the center and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The greeting from Lots of Happy stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the background.
  • Finally, some Glitter Dots were added for a little bling.

I love these flowers!  OK…make sure to check out what Mary did with this inspiration photo over at Create with Connie and Mary!

IM13 – Ribbon of Courage

It’s time for Create with Connie and Mary’s Inspiration Monday!!!  Not sure if these are cookies or a wedding cake, but the neutrals and white flowers are so elegant looking, aren’t they?  My thoughts came together pretty easily on what I wanted to do…until I saw Mary’s card and realized we had done something pretty similar!  lol!  That happens a lot between us!  So…I switched mine out and used a different stamp set…Ribbon of Courage.

 

Doesn’t seem like I’ve used this set much, but I love the inspirational greetings and the floral ribbon and flowers in it.  This one doesn’t have much stamping…I let the framelits do most of the work!

Ribbon of Courage
Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Sahara Sand stamped with the Ribbon of Courage greeting in Chocolate Chip Ink, then was embossed with the Ruffled Embossing Folder (first time I’ve used it!)
  • The flowers were cut from Whisper White and the leaves from Pear Pizzazz with the Support Ribbon Framelits and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The centers were stamped with the Ribbon of Courage flowers in Chocolate Chip Ink on Daffodil Delight cardstock and then punched with the 1/2″ Circle Punch.  They were added to the center of the diecut flowers with Mini Glue Dots.
  • In the center of the flowers, some Perfect White Accents were added for a little bling.

Doesn’t this just look like SPRING?  So fresh and clean!  OK…make sure to check out what Mary did with this inspiration photo over at Create with Connie and Mary!
