Another week means another photo inspiration from The Shabby Tea Room. I am having so much fun letting the photos inspire me and the colors chosen for this week have to be my most favorite yet. I love the combination so much that I created two cards...I'll share the second tomorrow.
We were challenged to let the photo (shown below) inspire us, and to use flowers...a bonus would be using a handmade flower. I used fabric squares cut using Papertrey Ink's Button Card Die and used them as my background. I also added in coordinating paper from Jenni Bowlin and Cosmo Cricket and Vintage Cream felt from Papertrey Ink as well. I wanted to create a quilted look, so I stitched an "x" in the center of each square and then layered on the embellishments including a handmade ribbon flower I made using Fine Linen Grosgrain from Papertrey Ink, Prima velvet leaves and adhesive pearls.
The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Fall Elegance stamp set, and the purple and glittery, gold acorn from the Autumn Acorns set. I used my latest addiction to bring in the sparkle...Ranger Crystal Stickles. I LOOOOVE this stuff.
Would you like to play along this week? These colors are gorgeous together...love the eggplant, the buttery yellows, and the pumpkin orange all bundled up in one beautiful place. You can find out more regarding this challenge HERE at The Shabby Tea Room.
Enjoy your Monday!
